Smoking has become one of the greatest health hazards in our country as well as the world . The studies show that this is the biggest single  important factor which causes cancer because as ten percent of all cancer patients are found to be smokers . It also adverely affects the heart and blood pressure .The shocking truth is that while the world over  people are now beginning to understand the evil effects of smoking and there has been a perceptible fall in number of smokers in India , the evil is on rise .ILLITERACY is one of its main reasons because it is our rural people who smoke the most . it is important that we shirk  company of smokers . For smokers doesn’t suffer so much as people nearby do  because the major protion of the smoke goes out of the smoker’s mouth & is inhaled by the people near by.
