Today is “World No Tobacco Day”. This year the theme is “Tobacco: Threat to the Environment”. Tobacco damages not only our health, others’ health but also the health of the environment. Over million people are killed by tobacco every year. As per WHO, cigarettes are made by cutting 600,000,000 trees. 84,000,000 Tonnes of Co2 emissions in the air and 22,000,000,000 Tonnes of water consumption is due to cigarette manufacturing. This is how the entire supply chain of cigarettes is affecting the environment adversely and poisoning us and the environment as well.

Ultimately the tobacco especially smoking poses
several hazards such as -
Health Hazards – Cancer, lungs, heart diseases,
diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and many life style
disorders.
Environment Hazards – Deforestation, Natural
resource consumption, Emission of Green House Gases, water consumption in the
entire supply chain, pollution.
Safety Hazards – May be a source of fire (Fire Hazard)
Tobacco gives a temporary thrill with a
permanent damage. Thus, let us quit tobacco otherwise we have to quit the world
later because the Nature won't allow us to damage it. It takes its revenge. It reciprocates in the same manner as we treat it. This is what has been consistently explained in my previous blogs on environment.
Quitting either tobacco or world is our choice.
My previous blog “Commit to Quit Tobacco –

Let us protect ourselves and environment by
quitting tobacco.
