NO SMOKING

The health minister has been doing quite a lot of good things these days! The recent October 2nd ban on smoking in public places is a big attempt that needs to be appreciated.

Everyone knows 'Smoking is injurious to health'. This tag is also attached in cigarette packets! I wonder how people smoke even after the warning! I remember an ad which came few years ago in discover channel. The ad was a PSA done by Australian government to show the ill effects of smoking. The ad gave every detail. It is shown from the time u inhale the 'shit' to exhale it! The ad concentrated on how it will affect the organs inside! I still remember it kinda vaguely.

In India, I witness a lot of PSAs, rally, protests and the like happening for 'No Smoking'. Smoking is an addiction! I know a friend of mine who started of by saying 'No da I just wanna try to know how it feels' and now I keep reminding her of how her body feels!!

I hope this Ban will reduce the sales of cigaretts and the death rates which are caused by smoking!This will also reduce burdens of all the NGOs and increase the un-billed salary of the policemen ;-) ;-) lol!!

And the note from the blogger,

To all my dear readers, PLEASE DON'T SMOKE and discourage people whom you know are smoking cause there might be a day when you can't see them forever!

Thanks,
Sharu :-)

Some things are best said the harsh way! And so does the ad! :)
