Dangers of Smoking
Let’s take a moment to ponder over our bodies. They are
such remarkable things. Just think of all those activities that
are going on so harmoniously inside our bodies. Most of these
activities and functions go on without our own knowledge. It’s
almost like a well-oiled machine. And yet we expose it to the
dangers of smoking.
And think of the count less number of times when you have fallen
ill and how this remarkable body has fought back and won the battle.
Forget about giving credit to it. None of us do that. But the
least we can do is lend it a helping hand, but still we expose
it to the dangers of smoking.
The world we are living in is horribly polluted. And as it is
the body has a colossal task of fighting off all those toxins.
And here we are pulling in loads and loads of toxic smoke as many
times a day as possible. The body will pull on as long as it can,
and in the end, one fine day it will put its foot down and say,
“enough is enough, go ahead cough up and die,” and
really we cannot blame it at that time. After exposing our body
to the dangers of smoking year after year after year. We finaly
get what we deserve.
