Live a Smokeless life


“Its almost unimaginable”yes this will be the first reaction of a smoker who listens the above phrase first.Today,every man or women irrespective of whatever profession they are engaged in need to have that kick of the nicotine (which they claim to reduce all their stress and tension)and without which their whole day will be destroyed.Smoking today has entered in everybody’s life and that short white rounded paper is ubiquitous in every professional’s pocket.Think of a situation where you would ask this indivivuals to quit smoke just for one day and the next reaction is “are you mad or what” or probably they would faint .Even the Union Ministry one year ago had published in all the tobacco packets pictoral warnings for the common people to understand the drastic effects of smoking on health but the people are still not aware of this,it is expected that from this December harsher pics are to be published on the packets. These are some of the startling revealations done by the  New England Journal of  Medicine about smoking:


  • About 61% of the men who smoke can expect to die between the ages of 30-39.
  • About 62% of the women who smoke can expect to die between the ages of 30-39.
  •  On an average men who smoke bidi-the popular hand rolled cigarattes that contain about one –quarter  as much tobacco as a full sized cigarette shorten their life by six years and Men who smoke full sized cigarattes lose about ten years of their life.
My main objective of writing this article is to find my answer of a simple query that how? exactly how does or does a cigarrate helps anyone to overcome a tensile or an abnormal situation?So lets find out how:
A cigarette contains more than 4000 chemicals and nicotine is the primary content in it.Nicotine is a naturally occurring colourless liquid that comes from the tobacco plant,now when a person smokes he approximately takes 1-2 mg of nicotine with each cigarette,the moment the nicotine goes inside the lungs it gives a rush to the adrenaline known as the adrenaline rush.This adrenaline rush stimulates the body  causes an increase in blood pressure,respiration and heart rate,apart from that it also releases a chemical known as dopamine which results in the development of tolerance.The feelings of a high and of euphoria enhances nicotine’s addictive effect,thus repeated exposure to it results in the development of tolerance.When an adequate level of nicotine is not maintained the smoker will experience symptoms of nicotine withdrawl.
Results of nicotine withdrawl:
Decreased Heart rate.
Difficulty concentrating
Nervousness
Headaches
Increased appetite
Weight gain
Insomnia
Irritibality
Depression

 Its not only the men who are ahead in this race,you will be amazed to know that  Indian women are the worst in the world when it comes to smoking.According to the latest Tobacco Atlas ,the India ranks third in the top 20 female smoking populations across the world.At the end I only want to request all those young,old male and female that this is a very rising and serious health concern and you are the judge of your own life.

Children and Glamour

I was watching a programme on a popular news channel this weekend which was all about children and glamour,it was then when I thought why not write my first blog on this topic.Children as we all know are the abode of God,they are the only ones in this earth who are innocent,calm,sweet etc.I always love children or kids so much so that wherever I go or meet with them I talk with them,even my friends keep on telling me hey  you still look like a small boy and that probably might be the reason why I am interested in kids (haha!!!!)jokes apart,kids always fascinates me.Childhood is considered to be one of the most interesting,enjoyable phases of a human being’s life but today as we the humans are entering into the rat race of this fast paced life where everybody is trying his/her best to be the first to do anything we are forgetting that chidren are not the ones to be pushed into the rat race.Let us take a very simple example:-these days there is a fashion of children participating  in various talent hunt shows like singing,dancing,acting et al no doubt these shows provide immense exposure to these little minds and help to bring out the talent from them but at the same time puts them under strenuous circumstances(like living upto the expectations of the audience,judges,performing continuously et al)which is harmful for them physically and mentally.Amongst all these the little mind is also lost in the same and so are their parents.Irony is that this fame is very short-lived,as soon as the competition is over and even if that child is declared a winner of that particular show then in the course of a few months he/she is totally out from the public’s glare,result frustration within the child and more within the parents.Hence my idea of writing the whole article is that a child’s life should be full of fun and frolic,enthusiasm,playing,learning and knowing of things naturally and it will really be unfair on our part to push them into the glamour world.We should not forget this is the age to learn not to expertise.
