It’s no smoking day today (Saturday) May 31:
The theme of this year’s World No Smoking Day is ‘Smoking-Free Youth’. Health organisations will again put their heads together to ensure complete enforcement of the Prohibition of Smoking and Protection of Non-Smoker Ordinance 2002. .. Smoking kills 4.9 million people worldwide every year and tobacco will be the biggest cause of premature deaths by 2030 – about 10 million every year.
I am happy that I have the luxury to be able to quit smoking. To be part of those who celebrate it. Really am.
No Smoking Day is an annual health awareness day in the United Kingdom that is intended to help smokers who want to quit smoking. The first No Smoking Day was on Ash Wednesday in 1984 and now takes place on the second Wednesday in March.
The campaign is in its 25th year. The theme of the 2008 campaign was The Great No Smoking Day Challenge, which encouraged smokers to try quitting for a week, whilst gaining sponsorship to support their quit attempt. Participants were then encouraged to build on their success by seeking support to stay smoke free.
Smokers were also encouraged to sign up for free email and text message support, and free ‘quit packs’ were also provided.
In Indonesia
With a lack of tobacco control and regulation at the national level, Indonesia has been targeted by many national and transnational tobacco companies. The prevalence of youth smokers in Indonesia in 2005 was 38% among boys and 5.3% among girls. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse beliefs, norms and values about smoking among teenage boys in a rural setting in Java, Indonesia. Six focus group discussions with boys aged 13-17 years were conducted using a thematic discussion guide. Four themes were derived from the descriptive content analysis: (i) smoking as a culturally internalized habit, (ii) striving to become a man, (iii) the way we smoke is not dangerous and (iv) the struggle against dependency.[....]

I`m agree with you even I`m a smoker,the point is how to stop it..!!
I don’t know what the correct word to describe who I was. I bought cigarettes, sometimes a full pack for only couple days. But I’m not a smoker. I mean, I’m not the kind of person that always feel uncomfortable being far away from cigarettes. Smoking for me was just having some fun, spend my spare time, or be my temporary company. So, it’s funny to see a lot of people being so vulnerable when they are far away from cigarettes. Well i was not, and though i could still smoke a ful pack in couple days.
Now I’ve been quitting smoking for maybe 2 hours. It’s only because my friend told me smoking is quite “haram” in my religion.
alhamdulillah,I can stop smoking last november 2000
Saya blum pernah merokok
gimana hubungannya antara stop smoking dan produktifitas? sebab saya lihat produktivitas bang fatih agak menurun sejak quit smoking, kalau dilihat dari jumlah posting, baik di sini maupun yang wordpress. atau ada kesibukan baru lain yang ehem ehemmmmm
saya kira aktivitas ehem2 secara signifikan mempengaruhi produktifitas ngeblog & menulis saya. haha
saya harap ini hanyalah pengaruh temporer. let’s hope i can make a comeback sooner rather than later.
saya salut sama org yang berhenti merokok,berarti sayang sama diri seeendiri dan sayang orang lain
STOP SMOKING SOON
