Did you know that with every cigarette, you lose approximately 11 minutes of your life?

It’s a staggering reality!

Every puff diminishes your precious time on this planet. About 75% of global deaths from lung diseases are directly attributed to tobacco intake. These grim statistics show how smoking takes a toll on human health worldwide.

‘No Smoking Day’ marks on March 13. It’s a reminder to reflect on the profound impact of tobacco use and the urgent need to break free from its grip. This day inspires individuals to kick the habit and raise awareness about the detrimental effects of smoking on health.

No Smoking Day- A Powerful Reminder to Prioritize Health

March 13 marks ‘No Smoking Day,’ an annual event aimed at raising awareness about the harmful effects of smoking and encouraging smokers to quit. It highlights the importance of taking steps towards a smoke-free life.

Smoking is a habit that not only affects the individual but also has far-reaching consequences for society as a whole.

Just pause for a moment and consider the consequences- the stifled breaths, the constricted lungs!

Is the short-term pleasure of smoking worth risking your whole well-being?

Smoking is like inviting a bunch of health problems. From lung issues to heart diseases, smoking packs a punch in all the wrong ways. And it’s not just the smokers who suffer; secondhand smoke affects everyone around them too.

Every year, approximately 6 million lives are claimed by tobacco smoke. Even more distressing is the fact that around 600,000 individuals lose their lives due to second-hand smoke. Non-smokers are also at risk of losing their lives due to the hazardous impact of smoking imposed upon them by those around them.

Global Initiatives in Tobacco Control- Working towards a Smoke-Free World!

There are numerous organizations, governmental and non-governmental, dedicated to reducing smoking rates and promoting tobacco control measures globally. These organizations typically focus on various strategies, including public awareness campaigns, smoking cessation programs, policy advocacy for tobacco control laws, and supporting research on the health effects of smoking.

Some prominent examples include the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Cancer Society, Dera Sacha Sauda, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and many more. Their efforts aim to improve public health by reducing the prevalence of smoking and its associated health risks.

In the ongoing global battle against tobacco and drug addiction, the efforts of Dera Sacha Sauda stand out as exemplary. Among all global organizations, it is particularly working for not just helping people to quit smoking but also on their after-care.

Guided by the leadership of Dera chief Baba Ram Rahim, also known as Saint Dr. MSG Insan, the organization has launched a pioneering campaign called the “Depth Campaign.” This initiative is specifically designed to rescue individuals ensnared by the grips of drugs and tobacco, offering them a path toward recovery and wellness.

A standout feature of their aftercare program is the provision of SAFE kits, meticulously curated packages containing essential nutritional items. These kits not only address immediate physical needs but also symbolize a commitment to holistic well-being. Around 65 million people have been saved from this menace worldwide by this organization.

Support is Key Here!

Play the role of a good supporter.

Beyond any doubt, quitting smoking is a journey filled with ups and downs. But your support can make a world of difference. Just extend a support to your friend, relative or any person clutched in the web of smoking.

Your helping hand can save a precious life. Moreover, celebrating small victories along the way is essential for maintaining motivation and momentum.

Whether it’s going a day without a cigarette, resisting the urge to smoke in a tempting situation, or reaching a milestone in the quitting process, each achievement is worth acknowledging and celebrating.

Opt for Not Just A Day but the Whole Life Without Cigarettes!

No Smoking Day is a reminder that you’re not alone in this journey. Just start from a day without smoking. Keep cardamom and cloves with yourself. Have it when you feel the craving. Just dust yourself off and stay motivated.

Looking ahead, imagine a future where we’re all smoke-free. It’s totally doable! By supporting each other, spreading awareness, and pushing for better policies, we can make it happen.

While the journey towards quitting may be fraught with obstacles, it’s important to remember that every step taken towards a smoke-free life is a victory in itself. So, on this No Smoking Day, let’s take a moment to reflect, make a plan, and start this journey towards a healthier, smoke-free life together.
