Subject: Harms of Smoking


Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed paper, I would like to enlighten the public opinion towards
a very serious and common problem. Smoking at the public places has become a serious problem these
days.
It has also become a fashion among the college students. Everybody knows that it is a bad as well as harmful
habit.
It is a waste of money. Smoking is a temporary stimulant. It sooths our nerves and makes us forget of our
cares and
worries quite for some time. The nicotine in it is a poison and very dangerous for our health.
It causes the cancer of the lungs.
Smoking is very harmful for the throat. A smoker is like a fish out of water when he does not smoke a
cigarette
for some time. It becomes very difficult for him to work for longer hours. Smokers do not enjoy a prolonged
life.
They suffer from many diseases. Life becomes burden for them.
Keeping in view the evil effects of smoking, I suggest the following measures to get rid of this deadly
evil habit
i.) The government should levy heavy taxes on the import of tobacco.
ii) Electronic and print media should play its role and should start a campaign against smoking.
iii) Smokers should not be allowed to smoke at public places.
iv) The annual increment of the private and government servants who indulge in this bad habit should be
stopped.

Yours truly,
X.Y.Z.
