Every year, India has a high production of Tobacco which brings it high revenue eventually contributing to be a major contributor towards the Gross Domestic Production. Though the growth and sale of tobacco has its own "benefits", it's the usage which is troublesome. Every year, India has one of the highest numbers of people who succumb to death due to excessive consumption of tobacco. Whether it is by smoking it or by chewing it. When one is chewing tobacco he/she is harming just himself/ herself but while smoking, not only does the one smoking get effected, the ones not smoking but standing/ sitting/ being near the ones smoking also get effected. It has been proved that passive smoking is more harmful than active smoking.
The ones smoking are volunteering to inhale the poison, but the ones not smoking are involuntarily getting poisoned without any of their mistakes. The government of the country, recognizes this unjust act and for the benefit of the masses, has banned smoking in public places. But do the addicts care? They don't.

For their personal greed of addiction, self satisfaction and enjoyment; many are found to be smoking in malls, parks, offices and hard to believe, even in hospitals. Though, they claim to be doing it privately, yet they fail to realize that even those who they live with and for whose well being they are responsible, will be devastated if some untoward incident occours to them due to smoking.
When reminded of the government's good intensions of banning smoking, not just in public places, smokers defend themselves by citing the vaious individual rights given by the constitution of the country. The freedom of expression, the freedom of But, what is wrong is wrong. Nothing can justify it to be right.
Today, I read a quote that said," Air and Water, nature's most abundant resource, is being used by mankind as a universal garbage can".
We claim to be educated and sophisticated. We are the survivors in our respective fields and are on our way towards becoming winners but in this sojourn of victory, we are harming Mother Nature who made us what we are today.
It is time we put are preaching into practice. To take responsibility for our actions and to cover for the losses so far. The coming generations have the right to a green and clean planet and we need to make sure they get what they deserve. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Charity begins at home so the least we can do is stop smoking in public places and also privately to live and let live longer.
