All ye chronic smokers! Better watch out for your backs and necks before obscuring the compulsive disorder in fumes of style! If studies are to be believed, binging on Nicotine could bring disaster on the spinal column by depriving it of vital supplies.

“Smoking is one among the various causes for the spinal disorders. It hampers blood supply to the spine, thereby weakening it,” warns G. P.V. Subbaiah, an orthopaedic surgeon.

Life allowing little movement from the desk too contributes to the spine’s woes. Sedentary existence with no exercise routine accelerates the weakening of the vertebrae. Idle limbs will mount up ‘apple’ fat in men, and ‘pear’ fat in women, both straining the back and resulting in chronic ache, prolapsed discs, and many other related disorders.

“Also noticed was a marked association between spine-related problems and food habits. Those gorging on junk food are shown to carry higher risk,” said Dr. Subbaiah.

He recommends walking for half-an-hour a day for at least five days a week as the best possible remedy. It aids better absorption of calcium from blood, thereby strengthening the bones. However, sauntering on hard surface will only increase the peril.

Repetitive Strain Injury, nowadays, is the buzz word among the IT community. It involves prolonged use of certain muscles, tendons and nerves of arms and upper back, resulting in poor posture for extended periods. The cure lies in correcting one’s posture. Leaning forward in the chair should be avoided, and back should be well supported by the chair. Knees should always be kept a tad lower than the hips, obviously meaning that crossed legs are forbidden. Mouse and keyboard should be handled while resting the hand at right angle from the elbow, rather than keeping them stretched for long. A minimum distance of 40 centimetres should be maintained from the computer screen.

Heavy objects should be lifted closer to the body with bent legs taking the impact of the weight. When it comes to school bag, heavy books should be closer to the back and weight should be distributed equally between both the shoulders

Here Since long i had to write many a thing.

So i write it down from this onwards.

My topic is about SMOKING is injourious to health has came upon many time.

How to abolished.

As there is many farmers, labour, companies, employees, govt. and other directly indirectly related with this revenue we generated.

We say to stop this but unable to do that, as all we now when NO SMOKING DAY comes we avoid smoking and the later we can use it that is our work and idea.

When there a flim star smoked in public we had halla gulla on Him. but we not intended to solve the problem,

There is not required to say he wrong or we wrong, the real cause should be taken to solve.

NOw my point of view in solving the problem of all other, while closing such industries. we should not close all at a time , making a time frame for 5 year to close step by step so those got depended on that should not get to the road for bread and butter.


Step 1: plan to catogoriesd the industries, and farmers and other related organisation. with geographical etc. etc.

Step 2: Ask one or few farmer to stop producing the material and allow them to go for other crops. Not all at a time as still there is some industires to go on for the required period.
as there is less production and it is not much burden to close one by one .

Step 3 : then select any one industries or few to close and allow that industry to adopt other business, as the people had lively hood there should not get effect,
similarly for industy production can be get controled. with less damaged to any individual.

Step 4 : these step should go for the time frame till the period we made for and hope that this way we can do it .

Step 5: simultanoesly we should used much media encouragement to avoid smoking.

Hope This few step can put a gaint mission to stop smoking.

Now the point is who had this Duty in government from top order to the lower cader public servants to put the circular in the public to make understand. or the minister to whom we had given this job.
Need to search for these men to make his responsiblity to implement in better manner.

In all we should not be against any individual, cast, creed, region,religion,language,sect, etc etc. This should be done with open hearted visions for betterment of socities and peoples

1. follwing the steps
Looking back on the quits that failed, I know I was only half into it. I told myself I wanted to quit smoking, but I always felt in the back of my mind that I'd fail. I didn't write anything down. I didn't tell everybody (maybe my wife, but just her). This time, I wrote it down. I wrote down a quit plan. I blogged about it. I made a vow to my daughter. I told family and friends I was quitting. I went online and joined a smoking cessation support forum. I had rewards. Many of these will be in the following tips, but the point is that I fully committed, and there was no turning back. I didn't make it easy for myself to fail.
2. Make a Plan
You can't just up and say, "I'm gonna quit today." You have to prepare yourself: Plan it out. Have a system of rewards, a support system, a person to call if you're in trouble. Write down what you'll do when you get an urge to smoke. Print it out. Post it up on your wall, at home and at work. If you wait until you get the urge to figure out what you're going to do, you've already lost. You have to be ready when those urges come.
3. Know Your Motivation
When the urge comes, your mind will rationalize. "What's the harm?" And you'll forget why you're doing this. Know why you're doing this before that urge comes. Is it for your kids? For your wife? For you health? So you can run? Because the girl you like doesn't like smokers? Have a very good reason or reasons for quitting. List them out. Print them out. Put it on a wall, and remind yourself of those reasons every time the urge to smoke hits.
4. Not One Puff, Ever (N.O.P.E.)
The mind is a tricky thing. It will tell you that one cigarette won't hurt, and it's hard to argue with that logic, especially when you're in the middle of an urge. And those urges are super hard to argue with. Don't give in. Tell yourself, before the urges come, that you will not smoke a single puff, ever again. Because the truth is, one puff will hurt. One puff leads to a second, and a third, and soon you're not quitting, you're smoking. Don't fool yourself. A single puff will almost always lead to a recession. Do not take a single puff!

No single issue has preoccupied the Surgeons General of the past four decades more than smoking. The reports of the Surgeon General have alerted the nation to the health risk of smoking, and have transformed the issue from one of individual and consumer choice, to one of epidemiology, public health, and risk for smokers and non-smokers alike.Debate over the hazards and benefits of smoking has divided physicians, scientists, governments, smokers, and non-smokers since Tobacco nicotiana was first imported to Europe from its native soil in the Americas in the sixteenth century. A dramatic increase in cigarette smoking in the United States in the twentieth century called forth anti-smoking movements. Reformers, hygienists, and public health officials argued that smoking brought about general malaise, physiological malfunction, and a decline in mental and physical efficiency. Evidence of the ill effects of smoking accumulated during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Epidemiologists used statistics and large-scale, long-term, case-control surveys to link the increase in lung cancer mortality to smoking. Pathologists and laboratory scientists confirmed the statistical relationship of smoking to lung cancer as well as to other serious diseases, such as bronchitis, emphysema, and coronary heart disease. Smoking, these studies suggested, and not air pollution, asbestos contamination, or radioactive materials, was the chief cause of the epidemic rise of lung cancer in the twentieth century. On June 12, 1957, Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney declared it the official position of the U.S. Public Health Service that the evidence pointed to a causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer.The impulse for an official report on smoking and health, however, came from an alliance of prominent private health organizations. In June 1961, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the National Tuberculosis Association, and the American Public Health Association addressed a letter to President John F. Kennedy, in which they called for a national commission on smoking, dedicated to "seeking a solution to this health problem that would interfere least with the freedom of industry or the happiness of individuals." The Kennedy administration responded the following year, after prompting from a widely circulated critical study on cigarette smoking by the Royal College of Physicians of London. On June 7, 1962, recently appointed Surgeon General Luther L. Terry announced that he would convene a committee of experts to conduct a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on the smoking question. Terry invited representatives of the four voluntary medical organizations who had first proposed the commission, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the American Medical Association, and the Tobacco Institute (the lobbying arm of the tobacco industry) to nominate commission members. Ten were finally chosen, representing a wide swath of disciplines in medicine, surgery, pharmacology, and statistics, though none in psychology or the social sciences. Candidates qualified only if they had taken no previous stand on tobacco use.Meeting at the National Library of Medicine on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, from November 1962 through January 1964, the committee reviewed more than 7,000 scientific articles with the help of over 150 consultants. Terry issued the commission's report on January 11, 1964, choosing a Saturday to minimize the effect on the stock market and to maximize coverage in the Sunday papers. As Terry remembered the event, two decades later, the report "hit the country like a bombshell. It was front page news and a lead story on every radio and television station in the United States and many abroad."The report highlighted the deleterious health consequences of tobacco use. Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General held cigarette smoking responsible for a 70 percent increase in the mortality rate of smokers over non-smokers. The report estimated that average smokers had a nine- to ten-fold risk of developing lung cancer compared to non-smokers: heavy smokers had at least a twenty-fold risk. The risk rose with the duration of smoking and diminished with the cessation of smoking. The report also named smoking as the most important cause of chronic bronchitis and pointed to a correlation between smoking and emphysema, and smoking and coronary heart disease. It noted that smoking during pregnancy reduced the average weight of newborns. On one issue the committee hedged: nicotine addiction. It insisted that the "tobacco habit should be characterized as an habituation rather than an addiction," in part because the addictive properties of nicotine were not yet fully understood, in part because of differences over the meaning of addiction.The 1964 report on smoking and health had an impact on public attitudes and policy. A Gallup Survey conducted in 1958 found that only 44 percent of Americans believed smoking caused cancer, while 78 percent believed so by 1968. In the course of a decade, it had become common knowledge that smoking damaged health, and mounting evidence of health risks gave Terry's 1964 report public resonance. Yet, while the report proclaimed that "cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action," it remained silent on concrete remedies. That challenge fell to politicians. In 1965, Congress required all cigarette packages distributed in the United States to carry a health warning, and since 1970 this warning is made in the name of the Surgeon General. In 1969, cigarette advertising on television and radio was banned, effective September 1970.
