ADVICE TO A FRIEND — SMOKING

 

Smoking is an ugly habit,——- yet a very popular one now- a- days. If you are addicted to this habit once, it will be very difficult for you to get rid of it; since habit is sometimes stronger than nature. The root of this habit, if for sometimes fed upon, cannot be removed however destructive a weapon, may be used against it. This habit generally leads a man going to the extreme where it makes him deplore for his carelessness in the past.
Smoking is harmful to the human system. For experimental shake, just take a puff of smoke in your mouth and push it through a piece of clean and white cloth. What do you see? Has not the smoke mildly burnt the threads of the cloth through which it managed to escape? And what will be the effect of similar experiment on human tissues? —– some of which are finer and thinner than spider’s threads?
The lungs by frequent pressure of smoke become black and  a thin coating on the surface of the lungs is formed, which is distinctly visible through X-Rays. The smoke makes the eye-sight weaker, the pulse-beat faster and the power of blood weaker. The freshness of the brain is ebbed away and a man’s thinking power runs short.
