Hey guys,
It’s a known fact that passive smoking is as dangerous, if not more than smoking itself, people around us smoke, that affects us also, the 1 who smokes doesn’t want to quit for himself but he should realize that his acts not only affect him but those around him, the children, the elders. I am at as much risk as the 1 who is smoking. He might be doing it for his pleasure, I am suffering. We are suffering. I made this site to put out my views. This is one of them. Join me in this attempt. All I ask of you is give 122×119 space of your website to put either of these 2 images.
Smoking kills, you want to die, be my guest but please don’t take along with you the ones who don’t wish to.
My friend, Sathyajit’s comments reminded of something that I forgot to mention. I am not against people who smoke, I am NOT for a ban on smoking, I ridicule India’s Union Health Minister’s thoughts that banning depiction of smoking will curb smoking. The intentions of this post are:
- To raise awareness about Passive Smoking amongst smokers & general public alike.
- A request not to smoke at public places like, buses, trains, stations, malls etc.
- A plea to NOT to smoke in the presence of children, pregnant women & elders.
Break The Habit. Quit Smoking.

Sathya, smoke but avoid doing so in public, I think most places now have smoking zones too now a days.

Generally I don’t smoke in public, even If I do, I ensure that no one’s around me.

Sathya, that’s awesome. A sincere thank you. I have edited my post to make the intentions of the post clear.

@Manan No thanks yet, I’m trying my best to quit. I’ve drastically reduced my rate of smoking.
I’ve reached the point where I can go without a smoke for few days. The few occasions that I smoke, its when I’m under pressure in office, just go to the smoking zone.
I’m sure I’ll reach the day when I stop it completely.

@manan, I forgot to mention something - Smoking is banned in public places, ain’t it? yet we see Police smoking in public.

All the best in your endeavor. May this post remind you of your resolve. As far as the pandus are concerned, well that’s India and also the reason why I am trying to convey this message and make the smokers aware of the hazards of Passive Smoking so that they voluntarily don’t smoke in public and well someday reduce the amount of smoking.

Here in Sydney they passed a law to ban smoking in all closed places including restaurants, cafes and even PUBS!
It’s surprising to note how much one reduces to smoke - when you wanna have a beer and you’ve gotta go out to smoke in the cold, you rather just pass on it - I know coz I smoke and that’s exactly what I do :-\
