If there are people who will survive in this planet without drinking any liquid beside their old habits, it’s the smokers.
The reason I am trying to say this is that, most of the people especially men when one tries to ask them the reason behind their smoking habits, they say, they are quenching thirst. Not knowing that, the same cigarette that quenches their thirst is a big threat to their lives.
Biblically, God created us in His own image and likeness. But was smoking cigarette part of his creation work? I beg to differ, for this matter.
From this perspective, smokers are destroying their health, at the same time, destroying God’s creation. Surprising enough, now days, as one walks along the streets, women too are smoking. Some are not bothered of the dangers they are exposing their unborn to, hence doubling the risk, that can result to chest problems.
Smoking also increases the risk of getting emphysema which is lack of breathing in that many may lack proper fitness of the body because of lack of exercising because of shortage of breath. You will find that even though here in Nairobi smoking in the city centre is banned what about other streets where it is done secretly.
I wonder if it is ignorance that that makes people not read the instructions at the bottom of the cigarettes packets or they just enjoy emitting the smoke out of their mouths like trains. I have seen on TV people’s legs being cut off all because they contracted cancer through smoking or maybe just people want to learn through their own experience.
But I would gladly like to urge our fellow people especially the youths and also our fathers and mothers please let us stop smoking it is absolutely fatal to our health.
