Smoking ban
This refers to the ban imposed by the Jammu and Kashmir Government on smoking at public places. It is a good step. The government needs to be tough against the violators. Most of youth have become the victims of smoking today. The situation is worse in educational institutions, where students smoke in canteens without any fear. Smoking is injurious to health. And we must understand that it causes several diseases. It is time we shun smoking to live a healthy life.
