Are you killing your family?..!

I got to know that Non-smokers who are exposed to passive smoking in the home have 25 percent increased risk of heart disease and lung cancer. Passive smoking in the home causes 10,700 deaths a year in the UK alone... Parents who have infants at home must refrain from smoking inside the home. More than 17,000 children below the age of 5 years are admitted in the hospital every year for bronchitis and pneumonia, the two major diseases, children suffer due to passive smoking. 


It would be ideal if all the countries become signatories to the WHO’s FCTC (Framework on Convention on Tobacco Control). It ensures that smoking in public is banned. There is a total ban on tobacco advertising and steep increase in taxes of tobacco products. 


We must avoid all these evil practices in order to protect our younger generation. It is strange that in West, there is a great campaign against smoking but they have totally ignored the use of alcohol, which is more harmful for physical, intellectual and moral health of a person than smoking.
