My Dear Sir,

Through the esteemed columns of yours most widely circulated news paper, I would like to draw attentions of the concerned authorities and public towards the evils of smoking in our society .Mostly our youth is indulge in this menace. It is not only dangerous for our public health but also destroying our economy.

Recent survey which was taken by WHO indicates that approximately smoking is done by 2o million people in our country. Our government generates 200 billion per annum from tobacco companies in form of taxes, custom duties and sales taxes and it is considerable contribution in the income of state. Thousand numbers of people are employed in these companies and earning their livelihood. But it affect adversely on our economy because government has to spend more money to resolve these problems which are created by smoking. 
It is request to concerned authorities that some strict and serious steps must be taken to curb this issue. Smoking at public places like parks, cinema, bus and railway stations, markets and bazaars, colleges and universities and in all private and government offices must be restricted. Sale of tobacco to minors should be discouraged. Glamorization of cigarette by media should be banned. People should be aware about its dangers and menaces by starting campaigns. Prices of cigarettes should be raised up to 1000 per pack so that people avoid to use it. Production of tobacco must be stopped.

I hope positive and prompt response regarding this matter to eradicate the mental agony from your side.

Thanking  you in anticipation.

Yours truly,
