Sir: A healthy life is a wealthy life. The modern era has urged us in maintaining a bogus social class where the most important part is usually neglected which is health. Smoking cigarettes has become a part of this so-called class which is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying. It is not only polluting yourself but making others suffer as well. Stress, tension, loneliness and burdens are not only handled through smoking, but can also be done through praying and contemplation. For the youth, smoking has become the fashionable choice and many don’t seem to realise its harmful effects. And the older people are not helping as they continue to smoke in front of children, even though they are setting a bad example. I believe in a saying by Robert Urich “A healthy outside starts from the inside”. It’s your health that makes your life beautiful.
