Every Minute, 60 Dead As CigarettesCigarettes contain more than four thousand substances and two thousand of them have been declared impact is not good for our health, such as radioactive materials, and materials used in the paint, washing floors, and other toxic gases. And substances in cigarettes are the most dangerous is the Tar, Nicotine and Carbon Monoxide. Tar contains approximately forty three ingredients that cause cancer or called by carcinogens. Nicotine has a substance in cigarettes that can cause addiction, which led to these users is very difficult to quit cigarette smoking. Nicotine is the substance in cigarettes that cause heart disease risk, 25 percent of people with heart disease caused by smoking.Effects of smoking on health itself is very dangerous,  because content of a variety of hazardous chemicals present in cigarette smoke is the same as we enter a hazardous materials into our bodies. Diseases known to be caused by smoking include: throat cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, coronary heart disease, pneumonia, reproductive system disorders, etc.But despite the dangers of smoking are well known & cause many diseases, there are still many people who continue to smoke. One reason is the nicotine content in cigarettes would cause addiction to the smoker so if they do not smoke, they will feel the disturbance such as anxiety, cold sweats, abdominal pain etc.. Then when they smoke again & nicotine has touched their brain, then they will feel calm & be able to concentrate. Therefore, many smokers will continue to be a smoker all his life, even if they have a strong desire to quit, they are hard to break their addictions to cigarettes. One other thing that contributed to the concern is the number of smokers is increasing from year to year, this means that there is accretion of new smokers every time which will most likely continue to be an active smoker all his life. The majority of new smokers are children & addult.Smoking not only affects the health of smokers, but also greatly effects the atmosphere. cigarette is the most effect the environment, the resulting air, water and soil pollution. Even the cigarette production process is also very influential to the environment.All smokers think that smoking is only harmful to their health. They may not be aware of the fact that smoking indirectly affect the health of others. And they are one of the direct contributor to environmental pollution.As we all know that cigarettes have mushroomed everywhere. Each stall must have sold the name cigarettes of various brands, ranging from the cheapest to the expensive. Do we realize that the easier and less costly way to get the cigarettes, so the more people who buy and use tobacco, so do not be surprised if the kids are still primary school was already addicted to cigarettes. They do not know what is the real dangers of smoking it. All they know only taste delicious and addictive flavor that makes them want to try it out constantly. There is even a lie to parents asking for money, borrow the money, to steal just to get a poison.Actually, smoking also had a positive influence in addition to their negative effect. For example it could increase state revenues through taxes customs cigarettes. So many brands of cigarettes sold in Indonesia. The government even powerless to stem or simply reduce the impact of hazards of nicotine. Various buildings are reserved for smokers is not working properly. The smokers smoked freely in the streets of the capital, in public transport, even in hospitals that in fact should be protected from secondhand smoke. Governments tend to accept the massive presence of cigarettes in his society. It's nothing, indeed the cigarette tax is one of the major sources of state revenue. But in this case, it is proper government funds received from customs cigarettes are returned to society in other forms, such as, socialization dangers of cigarettes, holding various anti-smoking counseling, and other activities to reduce the negative impact of smoking.However, although it can help increase state revenues, cigarettes are more likely to damage the future of the nation. Why? In cigarettes there are many harmful chemicals and toxins. Even in an article contained in the Internet media, that there are 4000 chemicals and 400 toxins in cigarettes. Are phenomenal. Besides the pleasure of cigarettes smoked, we never knew that so many toxins and chemicals that enter and damage our bodies. just imagine if our generation has begun to try cigarettes at an early age, how does their future? And not just them, the people around them had come to feel the effects of cigarette inhaling exhaust fumes that are even more dangerous.
This is a serious problem in this country. Government should seek more effective solutions to cigerettes problem. Do not just forbid people to smoke in public places only. But it also bans tobacco use in this country. Do not be tempted by the magnitude of the opinion that the state can be from cigarettes, but think about the future of our generation. If this country wants to be advanced by a younger generation of Indonesian youths, then stop the production and import of cigarettes from now on. As a wise man said, unplug the fungus from the roots. So it is with cigarettes. If the way is still less effective thing to do, the government should enact a special law on smoking age limit in which people are allowed to smoke, and make facilities for smokers who want to smoke in public places, both indoors and outdoors.
