The principal of the Government College of Management Sciences Haripur has said that people who are addicted to drugs not only put their lives at risk but are not seen with respect in society.
“Smoking is a deadly addiction that causes diseases as well as causes addiction to drugs. The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Tobacco Control Cell is playing a key role in raising awareness about the ills of smoking to lead the young generation towards a better future,” Jamil Akhtar expressed these views while addressing a seminar organised in the Government Commerce College with the support of the Tobacco Control Cell.
Project Coordinator Muhammad Ajmal Shah, Sajida Malik and the Director of Initiation Development Organisation also spoke on the occasion.
Earlier, while addressing the students Shah discussed the harms of smoking as well as electronic cigarettes.
He said that research has proved that electronic cigarettes are leaving behind very dangerous effects that lead to several life-threatening diseases.
Meanwhile, Malik shed light on the bad effects of smoking and electronic cigarettes on society.
A large number of male and female students were present on the occasion.
