Anti-smoking campaign was already
started years ago but until now smoking is rampant. A lot of teenagers are into
smoking and it is worrisome. I don’t know why these teenagers enter this kind
of vice. Is it because of peer pressure, family problems, or they just want to
try it? Maybe they thought that smoking makes them cool. But they were wrong.
We are wrong. I did smoke when I was younger but it didn’t become my vice. I
can’t understand those who are telling me that they can’t stop smoking.
Anti-smoking campaigns are
ignored until now even though a lot of people are suffering from lung cancer.
Some campaigns invite speakers who survived lung cancer but they have a hole in
their throat that makes them unable to speak without a machine. Government should
also help the non-government organizations who are in anti-smoking campaign.
Smoking could be stop slowly. I
know it is hard. It will take a lot of time. But it could be done. Discipline
is the key. The government should also implement a law that states a person may
only smoke in a smoking area only. Mayor Duterte of Davao had been implementing
it. Davao is almost smoke free. People can get lung cancer even though they are
not smoking. They got it by being the second hand smoker. They got it because
of the people who smoke in public.
Government should also increase
the tax of the cigarette companies. If cigarettes are more expensive, people
are more likely not to buy cigarettes unless they are really addicted to it.
Again, discipline is the key to everything.
They said that common sense is not common, as well as discipline too. We are
lacked of discipline. Improvement should start in oneself. It is not only for
us, but also for the next generations.
