Read the passage given below for Note making
The Trail of smoke in most cases inevitably leads to school. And college
days-those adolescent times when mere lighting up gave them the thrill of
indulging in the prohibited. And yes, they weren't mama's boy or girls) anymore.
they were macho and grown up beyond listening to nannies. Or so they thought, till
they got addicted. There is a clear link between the youth and tobacco
addiction
Statistica reveal that many children are initiated into the habit of smoking at
the tender age of 10 years, according to Dr. Srinath Reddy, a researcher
activist. That is why it makes sense to stop them young, when they are
vulnerable to peer pressure. Smoking, which often starts as an experiment in
the company of friends often transforms into addiction
According to the Non Smokers Health Protection Act 1997 nobody is allowed to
store, sell or distribute cigarettes, beedies or any other tobacco product
within an area of 100 m around colleges, schools and other educational
institutions. The Indian Parliament passed another comprehensive legislation,
the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act, a few years ago banning the
sale of tobacco products to minors. Has that made any difference? You have
to go to north campus to see if any law is followed. Many students even
argue that it is a matter of personal choice. Once in college, a student is
old enough to take decisions. It is clearly mentioned on cigarette packs that
smoking is injurious to health and after that if someone smokes it is
completely the individual's choice, says Manu Singh, a student at JNU.
