Smoking - Has it become a fashion symbol?BY: Muhammed Haris | Category: Health and Fitness | Post Date: 2009-07-07
Smoking has been a bad addictive habit widely practiced specially by the youngsters. It has become a fashion symbol nowadays. Lately there has been a trend of considering a non-smoking person a less than perfect gentleman. Unfortunately, there are young girls who have also started started to pick up this habit in a much larger number, they think smoking is a fashion symbol. In BPOs and IT companies, taking a break means going for a smoke with the group. Even the non-smokers get addicted to the smoking when they join a group of smoking friends. For the sake of enjoying smoking with friends, people do not think about the harm it is causing to their health. As per research, smoking a cigarette can reduce the life-time of a person by five minutes to two hours. The stress in the work of BPO and IT industries has become a main cause to make the people to smoke. Especially the working night shifts in BPOs are very stressful. So the people who work in night shifts get easily addicted to smoking. So we need to have enjoyable environment in BPO and IT sectors, so that one may not feel much stress to go for smoke. It should also not become a fashion symbol. There should be the right kind of awareness given in such organization. The trend of discouraging the people who do not smoke has to be removed off from the mind of the people. It is good that, government has restricted the smoking in public places. But still, it could not bring a major change in smoking. The government would bring more strict measures to discourage smoking. The high of tax can be levied on tobaccos to make cigarettes costly. That would reduce the number of cigarettes being smoked. Even the people have to take care of themselves from being the passive smokers. Passive smokers are also may get the tobacco related deceases.
