I want to draw attention to the serious issue of smoking that has become a fashion among the youngsters. We see many teenage boys and girls smoking at different malls, shops and institutions. Teenagers suppose that by smoking, people would consider them smart and cool. They just want to impress people, but they don't know that by doing these things, they put themselves into trouble.
Everyday, new cigarettes are introduced in the market. Lungs and heart disease is spreading due to smoking. Usually people suffer from cancer. And teenage boys mostly suffer more. When their parents ask them why they smoke, they give the lame excuse that if we do not smoke, we become ill or we suffer from headache.
The government should make arrangements to control the supply of cigarettes. Teenagers must think over the habit because they are no more children who need someone to guide them. They must be able to understand what is good and what is injurious for their health.
