Pakistanis spend millions on death sticks daily

“….almost 30% of Pakistan’s male medical students smoke”

This is astonishing!

Those who are studying in this field, should know better!!

Rs 60 crore is being spend daily which is a sheer waste of money!

I support Javaid Khan in his initiative. May his campaign succeed.Recommend

I can’t understand the pleasure behind smoking or use of tobacco. Y ppl waste their money and health in smoking? I think government should put a ban on smoking and who ever does this should be fined heavily. This is the only way we can make our country a smoke free zone.Recommend

I don’t know what country but last week I read somewhere, whether one country or perhaps one state of United States came up with the policy to launch the anti-smoking campaigns by bounding all the manufacturers of the cigarette to put the pictures of surviving tobacco consumers or cancer patients or TB patients or some scary pictures means the condition rises after the use of Tobacco or smoking…
None of the company was allowed to put their choice of pictures or make the pack colorful and the policy makers were anticipating at least 60% cut in the Tobacco sales just to cure the health of their people !!!
On the contrary we do not have even one policy for Tobacco Sales…
At least they could bind the shopkeepers not to sale the cigarettes in less than a box and selling single cigarettes should be completely restricted as well as under age tobacco sales should also be prohibited and the minimum age should be 23 years…
Need to launch the operation against Gutkha, Main Puri and Manikchand, City or other harmful tobaccos imported from India !!
Hope sooner they would start thinking about the peoples as well beside curing for their seats !!! Recommend

I am a Canadian by birth who has smoked for 43 years, and it is with luck, or maybe by the grace of God, that I decided to stop! My family, in particular, tried to help me, mostly by critical statements, and as we all know, that’s a useless solution! When a person goes to sleep at night and wheezes, no one needs to tell them that they’re in trouble! That’s what happened to me. I have been smoke free for the past six years, and although I cannot say that I notice any difference walking as far as breathlessness is concerned especially going up the stairs, the wheezing has definitely disappeared! Sadly, it would appear that I have replaced one addiction for another…. meaning I have put on a number of pounds since quitting smoking, and now I wonder which is the lessor of the two evils! Seems it’s pretty difficult to win sometimes. After all we’re only human! Write to me, I’ll try to help you!Recommend

Whenever I talk to a teenager smoking and tell them that smoking is dangerous their usual response is “I know it all”.When I ask a patient suffering from lung cancer or COPD “didn’t you know that smoking could cause so much harm to your body?”Their response is always”I wished I knew that smoking is so dangerous.Whenever I read about smoking hazards I ignored and thought that this illness will not happen to me.

Public need to know the real truth about tobacco.As a member of this society this is our duty to promote healthy lifestyle in the masses.Recommend
