How to get rid of the habit?
Those who want to smoke or already smoking should do the following test&then decide whether to smoke or not.
Test:Take good puff of cigerette smoke ,hold the breath for a while&blow it over a paper or a hand kerchief close to mouth & see the effect.You will find a surprise.There will be hole in the paper or cloth .After seeing this let them decide.If one resorts to smoke after this test,it is short of commiting suicide--a psychological abberation.One wise man told"Cigerett is one ,with a fire at one end & a fool's mouth at the other"
Treatment:Same way like any de-addiction procedure with a qualified doctor.Best is careful supervision in the young age by parents& nip it in the bud itself.
