No Smoking Please

Smoking is bad for your health. Not only doctors and health care providers have emphasized on not smoking at all or quitting smoking; the government has also taken part in this campaign to increase the awareness of people and encourage them not to smoke and to stop smoking. Despite the government and private sectors’ efforts to eradicate smoking in the country, there are still many people who are stubbornly continuing their habit of smoking. The addiction has taken over their lives and quitting for them is not an option. They just cannot stop the habit and that just seems unfortunate.

It is really difficult to break the habit especially when you have already started liking the initial effects of it. Despite the many information campaigns conducted regularly about the health threats posed by smoking, smokers are intensely hooked on to smoking so that stopping it will require a huge amount of discipline, control and motivation.

Prevention is better than cure as the old saying goes. That is why to those people who has not started smoking yet, please do not smoke at any cost at all. Just think about what it will do to your health and to the health of those around you. You are not the only one who will suffer the health problems brought about smoking. There is such a thing called passive smoker or second hand smoker in which anyone who catches a breath of your smoke can also suffer the same consequences as you do.

Good thing no smoking neon signs are there to remind everyone that such establishment does not allow anyone to smoke. No smoking neon signs protect innocent bystanders from the evils smoke can bring to them from irresponsible active smokers. As a business establishment owner who advocates the no smoking campaign, help the government implement their rulings by posting no smoking neon signs in your premises.
