Be there, n make a Difference

And I am sure, everybody is … willingly or unwillingly …

So, not to blame the smoker … atleast usme guts to hain ( agar wo jaldi jaldi shrink ho rahe hain to kya hua … abhi to hain na ) openly admit karne ke … Unlike you and me, who smoke but don’t admit it …

 And this is one fact you cannot deny … whether you are sitting on a tapri ( where you are most vulnerable if the tapriwala serves the thing ) or you are just passing by on the road where two/three/multiple people are smoking or you are walking on the road on your way to some place and you happen to pass by a person/persons who are smoking while walking or you are in a restaurant, you are bound to inhale the air, thereby making you a smoker as well. Although the government has recently passed the rule whereby smoking is prohibited in public places and the compounds of these places as well, you can still find some places where such rules are conveniently bent.

And this thing cannot be helped. No matter how much you try to cover your nostrils by using a mask or a scarf, you cannot prevent yourself from inhaling some of this deadly smoke. If you try to stop people from smoking, then I need not write here the reply which people get for taking this kind of initiative.

Time for some statistics:

• Experimental studies in which animals are exposed to tobacco smoke have produced results supporting the carcinogenicity of passive smoking.
• A study conducted by the United States Centers for Disease Control in May 2006 estimated that – living or working in a place where smoking is permitted increases the non-smokers’ risk of developing heart disease by 25–30% and lung cancer by 20–30%. The report also found that passive smoke causes sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), respiratory problems, ear infections, and asthma attacks in children.

Does this not speak for itself  ? And if this doesn’t, then what does ?

Atleast I cannot find a way out of this situation as of now.

So, Yes, I am a smoker … albeit a passive one …
