Smoke inhalation- Self immolation

Nobody will commit sure suicide. Smoking may cause cancer but this is not certain. Many get cancer even if they avoid smoking. Many do not get cancer and stay healthy even if they smoke. Glaring example is chain smoker Sir Winston Churchill, British P.M. during second world war. Smokers get immediate and sure enjoyment from smoking whereas the risk of cancer is remote and uncertain. Why should they spoil the current pleasure for sake of avoiding distant and unsure risk. Hence, the shortsighted do not quit smoking. The timid and far sighted stop smoking.

Message is good. Perhaps people would read this and try to control smoking. I hate smokers and drinkers. Men and women both have together started smoking and drinking habits.

Wonderful conclusion. Let the clan of those shortsighted increase.

But I wish the the far sighted and timid increase. I am opposed to smoking. But I have only attempted to explain why the smokers do not quit smoking.

Nothing seems to work on the smokers from dissuading them from smoking. Millions were expended and still expending on the campaigns highlighting the hazards of smoking. Even the most ghastly pictures depicting the hazards are being printed on every tobacco containing product. Still the number of smokers continue to rise.

Wow, i am spellbound by your artistic portraits of every day life (previously you have depicted about a school bag and gunny bag visual)

You surely are an artist! do you have a regular publication in newspapers or magazines?

Its not that they do not want to quit smoking. It's that they cannot quit smoking.

I made 3 such anti- smoking posters for a non- governmental organization. These were published in The Times of India long ago

It's partly due to the impact of western culture. We love to ape anything that's not ours.

We need not blame west for our ills. These date much before British entry to India. Hookah and Bidi are Indian. There is also desi brand of wine that existed centuries ago. There were rape, murder, theft etc. all long before British came. It is common habit to blame others for your shortcomings.

It's told, a cigarette can cut short your age by 20 minutes...
Human life is so precious. Even 60 or 70 years is not enough to do everything we desire.
Then why should we reduce it further by using such dangerous things even after knowing its consequences????

it is a personal choice of the individual to either smoke or not to smoke. every smoker knows the consequences even after smoking just like an alcoholics knows the consequence after consuming alcohol.

what can we say? people kill themselves!

Yes.. Its always a personal choice.. You cannot insist others.. Just keep a check on ur self... Its not an easy addiction to give away...

Smoking is very harmful.But still people cannot stay far from it.those who are addicted to it cannot leave it in one chance.

That's why my copy says "Self immolation"

Smoking injurious is no doubt injurious. But the statements like this cuts so many minutes from life etc. do not convince the smokers. Exaggeration does not help. What are the statistics of longevity? Do non smokers definitely live long? There are many variables. I have seen many senior citizens who never stopped smoking. Then there are non smokers who die early. If we wish to campaign against something, this should be on sound footing.

I'm opposed to smoking. But I do not think than giving unconvincing arguments can help.

Then read this. I'm 82. My hand is so steady while drawing, i draw a flawless straight line without a scale. I'm a non -smoker. My brother who smoked like rail engine died at 40. I work for 12 hrs a day without traces of fatigue. And i can say that i will be a centenarian and remain unto the last in the same health condition.
Do you think a statement like this " Smoke and live long." will convince a smoker?

Smoking is very dangerous for health. It is cause of many health problems.

People who are chain smokers can better opt for a special spray which can be used instead of smoking. This reduces health problem.

The smokers are generally convinced of the harm of smoking. But there is no conviction that non smoking will surely save them and smoking will surely kill them. so, they take risk. After all, they get some enjoyment presently. Harm appears remote and uncertain. Just convince them that they will definitely get cancer if they smoke and they will definitely be protected if they do not smoke. If everyone were to get cancer from smoking, there would be no smoker today.

Not all smokers die because a particular level of smoking intensity will lead to death, This sensationalism is needed to intimidate just starters to dissuade them from getting addicted, Because Nicotine is a great addicting agent. Safety and health related propaganda should have that sensationalism. Otherwise the message will fly over their heads.
