Despite the awareness campaigns about the hazards of smoking cigarettes, young people are continuously indulging in this habit. Most of them consider it a fashion statement and start doing it to impress their peers. Whatever the reasons may be, they cannot avert the harmful consequences this habit leads their health to. Some of them even start doing drugs at an early age.
Our youth is our future. How can we let them indulge in self-destructive habits? Under peer pressure, other young impressionable minds also get attracted to these harmful substances. We have no choice but to take care of our younger generation’s physical, mental and emotional health for a brighter future.
