Ignite your mind ...not lungs..!!

Few days back, I had been to one of the music concert and it was good. But troublesome part was that most of the teenagers and elders were smoking for the just sake of ostentation and representing themselves as coolest dudes. In concert, when the singer sang a song with the theme "Ignite your mind" and these people were ingniting their lungs by filling smoke. They were knowingly putting themselves in jeopardy. Smoking had affected me to such an extent that I couldn't inhale properly and came out of the concert in half an hour. Similary,in office also many associates smokes in the building's gallery just to stress out or may be for other reasons. It is extremely difficult for others to take breathe in building gallery.May be this kind of problem in mostly every offices. Smoking has been spreaded to such an extreme that we all turned into smokers. Not actively than passively. Already many things are burning in this world, why do you want to ignite more?

Investigation for the instantiation of something is what I like. I searched "who has started this smoking?" Briefly, smoking tobacco- the herb was used for healing purpose as medicine initially. Later on they have started using as substance to fill into cigarettes and bidi. Researcher has pointed that it’s originated by our one and only Uncle Sam and propagated in different countries. For India, we can give this credit to Portuguese.

Thanks to our health minister Ramadoss that he has already announced ban on smoking from 2nd October in some public places. It will be a splendid gift to Mr. Gandhi - The Father of Nation, if this ban is not converted into moratorium. To support health ministry in this excellent initiative, private sector companies should contribute. One of the idea is that companies should stop hiring people who is smoking? – definitely the company’s CEOs should be a nonsmoker :). Even we can also contribute to some extent through forcing our smoker friends, colleagues and relatives to quit smoking.
