Up in Smoke: Extinguishing the Cigarette Epidemic

Up in Smoke Extinguishing the Cigarette Epidemic
For too long, the tobacco industry has been given
a tight rein, and it has been killing members of
numerous societies worldwide all along. Cigarette
smoking, by far cigarettes their most damaging
product, has unfortunately reduced millions of
lives and bestowed huge pain. Even though this
problem is protracted, it is not beyond solutions
- with coherent efforts across various sectors,
we can find a route for winning against Big
Tobacco and Cigarette Smoking Control.

Follow the Money Trail At the root of the matter
is the insatiable cunning of the tobacco
companies, greed that knows no bounding. In the
face of the abundance of evidence proving the
catastrophic side effects of cigarettes, the
tobacco companies have repeatedly fabricated the
actual contents of their products and deceived
people by claiming to be somewhat safer than the
other brands. The only goal of these
profit-driven companies in business is to
maximise their interests no matter what the
public health implications. To restrict these
colossal corporations into non-existence by
utilising this as a primary tool must invariably
be a vital pillar of strategies to combat
cigarette smoking. Setting tobacco taxes at a
level which would result in discouragement of
smoking introduction, implementation of plain
packaging law and rigorous prosecution of such
offences shall make you kick the industry out.
Governments should rethink the attitude towards
the smoking industry and stay away from treating
them as charitable giving organisations but as
hated major investment companies.

Smoke-Free Generation In addition to the fact
that cutting out countries from the funding of
Big Tobacco is essential, we must also earlier
cease the supply of nicotine addiction fuel. To
keep youngsters away from cigarette smoking an
increase of the required purchase age for
cigarettes, a ban on flavoured tobacco products
that are targeted at youth and a strict
supervision of the retailers compliance could be
useful tools. We strive to achieve the most
extreme goal of eliminating cigarettes within
this generation by all means, which would lead to
the abstinence of smoking. Unifying our efforts
as a nation through collaborative school-based
programs and changing curricula that can
popularise a nonsmoking lifestyle can see us rid
ourselves of cigarette smoking as a relic of the
past within two or three decades.

Treating Nicotine Addiction In ordinary
scenarios, even people who are sick of nicotine
would face obstacles to cessation easily so,
extremely accessible and proven cessation
facilities are necessary. Smokers must be
provided with affordable and easier ways to quit
such as nicotine gum and patches medications,
which are effective like Chantix and
psychotherapy. Plugging these services into
social health insurance and work sites wellness
programs puts everybody at a higher chance of
successfully quitting. Innovation also provides a
potential for developing advances in those
methods which will enable a person to quit
smoking. Innovative products such as vaping may
be satisfying for some nicotine addicts who may
quit cigarettes as a whole but chemicals are the
option. On the other hand, alternative methods
require strong independent monitoring and failure
prevention protocols to come up with technologies
that can indeed protect the population from being
the source of the new public health crisis.

Denormalizing and Smoke-Free Spaces While we
constrain avenues to cigarette smoking and work
to empower quitting, our efforts to refrain from
smoking from being normal must also be enhanced
greatly. Through advertising campaigns that are
influencing the last cultural stigma towards
cigarettes and dismounting the glamorous images
of smoking a new awareness is arising. The
exploration of achieving a smoke-free policy that
covers all workplace areas, public spaces, and
even the whole city is another move. This kind of
decision helps the public health more, rather
than smoking just for them to be a little
bothered. Smoke-free surroundings also serve as
an effective motivator in stopping smoking and
making smoking appear as if it were more
"strange" or "abnormal".
