The tobacco is one of the most dangerous substances that contain nicotine which cause death in the world. The nicotine directly and indirectly is responsible for deaths about 440,000. It is tallied to almost $75 billion and some millions in our country annually for direct medical costs. 

For instance, in a piece of cigarette, it contains over 4000 chemicals which reach the brain of person who smoke. The nicotine contains in cigarette reaches the brain approximately in eight seconds, research found. It is considered as most addictive drugs in our country. It is lawfully banned but still smokers smoke as and when they wish to. 

The smoking, chewing and many more are has no positive effects but rather has negative effects which we cannot avoid it once person is already addicted. We human being never thinks of good cause and bad cause. If they judge it through various points of views – the religious point of view and health point of view, it would be good for our life. 

The tobacco is intolerable in the society and religiously strictly prohibited. In the religious texts, available in the monasteries, temples and private homes are well written and prescribed that smoking and chewing tobacco are not good task. The awareness programs are organized by religious personalities in public places or gatherings not to smoke and chew tobacco.

It is harm for the society as people smoke in the society, the smoke will directly to the atmosphere where it reaches to the realms of god and goddesses within very short while. The smoke of such is intolerable for god and goddesses and finally, the society is flooded with evil signs where we have to spend huge amount of our hard-earned incomes in making good offerings to god and goddesses. 

The people who chew tobacco spit on the ground where the spit reaches the goddesses of the earth. In return they will cause negative impacts on human life. To ensure life to be good, the offerings to the goddesses of earth should be made to stop harming our life. In these way, our income will go down, even though our harm is healed. 

So, smoking is not good and intolerable in the society. 

From health point of view, the smoking is strictly prohibited. The smokers one day become dependent on tobacco. The dependency is defined as reliance for a substance that you can’t live without. The smokers have a physical and physiological reliance for tobacco, and constantly crave cigarettes. Smoking starts a cycle of craving which is stopped temporarily by nicotine. In addition, withdrawal symptoms occur if one stops smoking, which is a major factor in people continuing to smoke. Withdrawal symptoms include physiological distress, such as irritability, anxiety, and anger; difficulty concentrating -continually thinking about cigarettes; and excessive eating -smokers weigh on average seven pounds less than non-smokers. 

Smokers with a history of depression have more severe withdrawal symptoms and are also less likely to quit smoking. Smokers who are more dependent have higher rates of depression. Tobacco use is so deadly that it kills more people each year then all deaths from HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol use, suicides, and murders combined. Common reasons for death related to smoking include over eight forms of cancer, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. For instance, in United States a most developed country in the world, approximately 124,000 people dies from lung cancer caused by smoking each year. In our country too, the people are died every year due to smoking as health ministry reported.

There are many diseases that cause cancer and other diseases. There are different forms of diseases such laryngeal cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, and cancer of the urinary bladder. Lung cancer arises in the country every year due to smoking. 

To cure these diseases, the government and individuals spend huge amount of money. The money spent on medical problems for smokers should be used to pay for more important things in our society such as schools, libraries, childcare, infrastructure development, etc. it would help our country and its people to come up with better living standard and many more.

So, do not smoke, if you are non-smoker, quit it, if you are smoker, do not make life of passive smoker danger than that of yours.
