A recent WHO report revealed that more than 3 Million people have become the patients of heart diseases and paralysis due to tobacco.

The report further said that the people die due to the diseases triggered by smoking. But the passive smokers also die due to tobacco smoke.

The numbers of such deaths due to passive smoking is 890,000 per year.

The WHO proposed a resolution to create awareness among people about the dangers of smoking in 2005. This resolution has been approved by 180 countries, which proposed a ban on the advertisements and sponsorships by tobacco products.

Douglas Batcher, the Director of Non- Contagious diseases in WHO said that this mission has fetched encouraging results. In 2000, about 30% of the world population used tobacco products, while this ratio has come down to 20 % in 2016.

He said that much is required to be done in this field. The problem is arising in medium and low-income group countries. Here the tobacco lobby is so powerful that they can use any means to advertise their tobacco products. The main targets of these Companies are the younger generation, for whom even the prices are brought down.

Most of the people who die every year due to tobacco are aware of the fact that tobacco is the chief cause of cancer.

The total number of the people using tobacco in the world is 110 Million. Out of these 30.7 Million are in China and 10.7 Million in India.  

How to Quit Smoking

Those who wish to give up the habit of smoking, face many problems due to the presence of nicotine in tobacco. The addition of nicotine is so intense or severe that a person fails to give up the smoking.

No doubt, it is the willpower which helps to give up the smoking.

But certain foods and fruits remove the presence of nicotine in the blood. There are few home remedies for the cessation of smoking.

  

1. Garlic

Eat two raw fruits of garlic in the morning on an empty stomach. Take another two with lemon juice before lunch and two before dinner. It removes the presence of nicotine in blood and thereby neutralizes the urge of smoking.

2. Bananas

Another natural way to give up smoking is to eat enough bananas. The banana helps to neutralize the effects of nicotine addiction in the body.  The presence of vitamin B6 and B12 in banana acts against the effect of nicotine addiction. It helps to get rid of the habit of smoking within in a few days.

3. Green Cardamom

Always keep few fruits of green cardamom in the pocket and keep chewing one at a time. It stops the urge of smoking and cleans the blood from the presence of nicotine.

4.  Divert Attention

Another most important way to quit smoking is to divert the attention from the urge of lighting a cigarette. Every single thought keeps the mind occupied for a second or so. Therefore change the attention to something else and the urge will end till it resurfaces again.
