These days, non-profit organisations become more active and are spreading awareness with respect to increasing health issues in society.
However
, the major concern for them is the increasing trend of smoking among youngsters. Even though lots of health warnings are issued, people still not getting serious about its consequences.
This
essay will discuss the reason behind
such
concern and the possible solution to overcome
this
issue.
Smoking is injurious to health, gases released from it are highly toxic in nature. These gases go into the lungs and create a charcoal-like substance, which will
then
get accumulated over the period of continuous smoking.
This
leads to various well-being hazards
such
as asthma, lung failure, cancer, lung puncture, etc.
For instance
, one of my close friends is a chain smoker, due to which he feels difficulties while doing some sort of exercises like running, sprinting, etc. which arises due to smoking and impacted his breathing capacity.
Furthermore
, nowadays, smoking is getting popular among youngsters and is considered a symbol of a premium lifestyle. Hookah or shisha, which is used as non-toxic and flavoured smoking, has the same effect on the lungs as we light a cigarette. To illustrate, in Dubai, the market for shisha is at its peak, and restaurants have a wide variety of flavour options that are enjoyed by the youth without being aware of its consequences.
Hence
, we should consider it a serious problem, since, it has a negative impact on the well-being of our society.
Moreover
,
this
issue can be tackled with an intervention of harsh rules and regulations by the law. The regulatory bodies should ban the smoking of flavoured Hookah or Shisha in bars and restaurants.
Also
, they should put a ban on its sale to youngsters and shall
also
limit its supply chain.
For example
, the Indian government has restricted the open sale of Hookah in pubs or at eating joints.
As a result
of which it has limited use in India as compared to Dubai.
Therefore
, the Authorities should take a step ahead for the well-being of its population.
To conclude, though everyone is aware of the side effects of smoking, their habits are restricting them to consider their well-being over and above. In my opinion, if the government put some strict rules on consumption,
this
might initiate reduce its consumption.
