Tobacco use

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Tobacco use has become one of the most serious problems in our country. Use of tobacco is the single largest cause of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases in the world. According to a report, tobacco use is the cause of around 108,800 deaths in Pakistan every year. So the government of Pakistan is requested to put strong laws to diminish the crisis of tobacco use in our country.
