World NO Tobacco day 2010 (What We Get in Pakistan)
65
Today is world no tobacco day. It is celebrated in every year in almost every country. What we get trough their meetings and day celebrated. Every year the death percentage is rapidly increasing which currently lead to 5.4 million deaths worldwide annually. The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) created World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) in 1987.
World no tobacco day is celebrated in Pakistan with its full glory. They spend lots of money over these conferences and meeting instead of use this money to make people to aware this problem's causes ans loss. 40% males and 9% females are smokers in Pakistan and this percentage is increasing day by day. In this backdrop, more than fifty percent of population of country is illiterate and tobacco consumption in form of smoking and smoke-less tobacco is growing in youth and women. Increasing in child smokers is 60% in Pakistan, and this is the worst calculation ever in Pakistan. Pollution of smoking is ten time higher in Pakistan then the other countries
Tobacco is used in many form in Pakistan, Paan(Beatel leaf) Gutka, Nuswar(snuff)and Hubble Bubble. Majority of smoker or tobacco eaters are child, drivers, jobless young men and those who are addicted to Chars and Ganja.
Pakistan's almost 60% population is taking tobacco or it related products, directly or indirectly. There are no commercials of Tobacco brands on T.V and local cable op-raters, but customers are child how they know about this?
Because there family members are smokers regularly and child get effected with this family shit. Smoking is porhobited in all civil areas and public transport but we see voilation every where even in police station.
Tobacco is not only leading cause of mouth cancer and lung cancer but it also causes other forms of cancer.
Well a Joke come in my mind.
A smoker goes to a doctor and told that he had a cough problem due to smoking. Doctor give him medicine and he goes. His assistant ask him why you give him medicine of "loose motion". Doctor replied that he will think hundred times before he cough.
My smoker friend says that the smoker never grew older and my answer is always is this
Because he dies in YOUTH

Oh. I recently saw something on u-tube which is so sad. Toddlers smoking. One had cut down from 4 packs a day to one pack a day. Can you even imagine anything so terrible? It broke my heart. Another one showed aboriginals being given cigarettes, even the children. Who would do such horrible things to fellow human beings?
But then - that's exactly what the big tobacco companies are doing constantly, isn't it? In my youth, one never saw a movie in which everyone wasn't smoking. All the magazines were full of advertisements for cigarettes, showing beautiful happy people smoking. Billboards along all the roads depicted it.
Actually I was only saved from a life of smoking because when I tried it very young it made me so sick that I never wanted to do it again and I never did. But my friend who was two years older than I, did start then. We thought we'd be "grown-up" and try it. So many youngsters did that and kept on smoking and ended up dying of emphysema or lung cancer. Heart-breaking.
Smoking is not a serious problem I think. The problem is the Tobacco form that used in Pakistan.
In Khyber Pakhtoonkhaw almost every one is addicted to the Nuswaar, and then Cigarette with chars.
In Punjab Tobacco used in forms of Paan, Hubble Bubble(Hukka) and smoking in forms of Chain Smokers.
In Sindh Tobacco used in forms of Gutka, Paan, Cigarette,
and Blochistaan's condition is same as the Khyber Pukhtoonkhaw.
It was recently found that cigarettes in the US have so many additives that they are more poisonous than cigarettes in other parts of the world.
I say one cobra bite or two, you are still going to die from the poison.
I have seen documentaries about how cigarette companies get children hooked early (mostly in "third world" countries). They hire attractive women who dress in costumes. The women will then go into arcades and other places where children are and they give away free cigarettes to them as if it were candy.
Everybody involved in that kind of planned murder needs to be taken out and caned (or worse)!
I lost two family members due to cancer directly caused by smoking. They were both so addicted that they couldn't quit. Not even when their bodies were so racked with pain from the cancer that they could barely breath.
Good article!
I must say this is a great article i enjoyed reading it keep the good work
Great hub, I think I am going to write a hub about the dangers of smoking from a medical point of view. If those kids could only see a picture of oral cancer caused from smoking they would probably quit.
Well Every Cigarette pack has Picture of mouth caner and lung cancer even their is written that smoking can cause cancers and it's dangerous to health but who cares about this
no one
Hello again Warrior!
I just got done with a hub about quitting smoking with lots of pictures and videos of oral cancer. If it helps just one person quit, I will be happy.
So they have pictures of oral and lung cancer right on the packs and that does not even slow them down? And they keep right on smoking anyway? Thats what you call a really bad addiction, and of course when you are a teenager, you think you will live forever.
Personally, I hate smoking, and I am so happy it is banned everywhere here now. Lots of people are qutting, yet there are plenty of teenagers taking up the habit.
In the end, it comes down to intelligence, if you know something will kill you, you walk away if you have half a brain.
so sad...cigarette is bad..
