Smoking Is Injurious To Health

You buy a cigarette, even though you are aware that it is harmful to you and the people around you especially your family.

I have known my father as the healthiest person in my Family. He has no ailments. It is true that he would taking pills for the minutest pains like headache, Body pains. But he takes them even though the pains are bearable and would suffice with out a pill. It has become a habit in fact a ritual for him to live on pills. Where ever he goes he will carry a bag of pills as if it is his asset. You name a pill he has it with him. My sister, me and my mother used to make fun of this and make jokes as if he has become a doctor with out degree.

But jokes apart, seriously there are lot of people who love you, who care for you. We used to fight with my Father  to quit smoking. There has been lot of arguments on this issue but in vain. He used to justify saying nothing will happen to him. 

My father has bad eating habits. He eats lot of ghee, sweets, oil foods and an added advantage smoking. He can justify us with words but not his health. The truth has come yesterday that he has got heart attack early in the morning at 6.00 AM and was rushed hospital and sent to ICU. Now he is doing fine. The doctors revealed the main reason being smoking.

As I heard the news I was devastated, my mind became blank. I did not know what to do. I hated my inability and  inevitability to be with my parents when they are in need of their beloved ones. What an earth  can I do to be there with them. 

All I can say is Stop smoking/drinking/drugs. Cultivate or make it a habit you eat good and healthy food. Do not think because you are in your 20's or 30's nothing will happen now. But the habits that come along your way in your life now cannot be changed in the later stages of your life. The sooner you start the better your life would be. After all we are trying to be happy and make our family happy. This is not only to my family but my friends too.
