Will is the Way -Quit Smoking

WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY- 31 MAY


My office is in the heart of Delhi, India. There are thousands of people whom i come across while i travel from my residence to my workplace and back. I see so many people smoking and on this day also i saw many people smoking and i guess they were not wary of this day being no tobacco day.

The government is spending a good amount of taxpayers money to educate people about the dangers one can face by consumption of tobacco but people are hardly listening and understanding. Instead I feel that more and more people from younger generation are getting  addicted to tobacco everyday.

One of my friends is a chain smoker. He used to finish 2 packs of cigarettes every day, and when i met him yesterday he finished 2 cigarettes in the time span of 2 hours. He suffers from bronchitis and severe asthma in winter season. But this is not a deterrent  He still smokes.

So, how to help somebody quit smoking. There are things like electric cigarette and nicotine lozenges which claim to deaddict smoking. People who are addicted to tobacco needs a very strong will power to quit smoking or any tobacco products.

In the end, its by the will and will only an addiction can be overcome. Where there is a will there has to be a way.
