    @Shavkat, the man whom you are talking or mentioning in your comment is my son-in-law. I know that he is honest. In fact, in that particular day, he needs money to pay the tuition of his youngest daughter who is studying in the Kindergarten school and she will have her long test. She has to pay her first payment for her entire year tuition.

    Gil Camporazo wrote a new post, When Did You Stop Smoking? 8 years, 5 months ago

    Smoking is dangerous to one’s health. That is a very serious announcement to those who smoke cigarettes. But it doesn’t work 100%. You can see people all over the world smoking. Why couldn’t people stop smoking? […]

    • Yes, it is a very lucrative business. If the manufacturing of tobacco would be abruptly stopped, the economy of the country would be greatly affected. Many people would be out of a job. Many mouths wouldn’t be fed. The whole society and even the country would be economically drained of money. That is the practical sense of view if tobacco is stopped for growing and production of cigars and cigarettes.

      But the people would be urged to refrain from using the cigarettes. Four years ago, the Department of Education had issued an order that every school should have to put up a notice declaring that the school is a free-smoking area. No one is allowed within the school premises and its adjacent place to smoke. It would be a bad example to the pupils whom they might be tempted to try smoking.

      Lately, we had let our pupils see the educational video about the harmful effects of smoking which generally killing smokers.

    • Inspite of many advertise/billboards telling people to stop from smoking but many people never quit from smoking..Even they increase the price of cigarrettes but still they are not convince..I myself keep on giving advice friends telling them the poasible effects but still i could not convince them..So the smoker itself should decide when he will stop to smoke

      • To quit smoking is not impossible if those smokers wanted to. It is a matter of commitment, a matter of determination if they don’t want to get sick. And also they should be supported by their family members. I don’t think they couldn’t do it.

        Selling of cigarettes couldn’t be banned. It is one of the major biggest contributions to the income and to the economy of the country. If it will be sanctioned by the government through the legislation, as I have said the economic status of the country would be greatly affected. Imagine the price of a pack or package of a cigarette has been raised according to you, but yet many are still buying them.

        I would repeat it is a personal commitment. If they want to stop smoking, they could do it. If they don’t want, then who else? Those smokers are already adult and they know what is wrong and what is right.

    • Believe it or not, I have never once even tried a cigarette. Smoking always seemed like such a vile habit to me that there was no appeal whatsoever. Even when many of my friends took up smoking, I never even wanted to try it. I guess I am one of those people who just has no predisposition at all for smoking.

      Anti-smoking campaigns in North America have been carried out for 50 years or more. There have been films and messages from health authorities, laws restricting the places where people can smoke and banning minors from buying tobacco products. Every packet of cigarettes has an ugly photo on it with a message about the harm caused by smoking. And yet there are still many youth who start smoking.

      I really don’t understand the attraction, but it’s pretty clear to me that the change has to come from society first. All the laws and awareness programs do little if children are seeing adults smoke, or if smoking is portrayed as cool on TV and movies. We didn’t see a lot of people quitting here until after smoking had become less of a factor in popular culture.

    • I started smoiking when i was only 16,i was at school and my friends forced me to just go for that and i enjoyed alot the taste of cigrate on that time.I started smoking from there.i continuously smoke for may b 7,8 years.and finally i realized that how bad the smoking is because sign of damage done by smoke,If i wal litlle i get tired so early,i used to play different sports but because of smoke i felt that i am not as sharp as i used to be.than i decided to quit smoking in year 2014 i stopped smoking and from that day tell no i didnt even touch a cigrate and now i am fit and feeling so good.

    • Congratulations on your many years of non smoking that’s a good achievement especially when you think of how early you started.smoking is harmful to our health that’s the advertisement you will see if packs of cigarettes in our country, but more and more people are getting into it regardless of the harm that it causes in the body. Women are the ones in the front line nowadays when it comes to smoking and I feel so sorry for those women who smoke. If it can do so much harm to the man how much more would it cause in a woman. I often ask myself why do people smoke, and the answers I get are sometimes ridiculous. Like someone told me once, that it keeps your body warm, is that by inhailing that bad smoke into your lungs or is it by burning your lips that keeps you warm, I don’t understand. Others say it relieves tension and stress, maybe that will work because I have seen in my work place when someone is stressed out with loads of work or is supposed to see the boss over a certain issue they will always go out and smoke then they gain some courage, and only then can they see the boss. Otherwise they become nervous wrecks and can’t handle anything. It’s very unfortunate that people find refuge in smoking, something that can kill you in hours. Despite th3 many announcements about smoking people ar3 still getting into it. I have never amoked in my life and my fiancee doesnt smoke either i thank God. After seeing my dad being admitted in hospital because hes lungs were so inflamed because of smoking i never wanted to hear or see any ofmy close friends or rekatives smoking it really broke my heart. But after his admission he was able to stop smoking. Unlike mt brother who was so hooked to smoking to the last day of his life may gis soul continue to R.I.P. cigarette smoking is bad and I always advocate for people to stop.

    • Smoking is a bad habit for everyone because it is dangerous to our health mentally , physically and spiritually. It leaves a bad effect on our memory.

      Quitting smoking is easy but for this purpose your will power be very strong. My many friends have given up the habit of smoking on the ground of will power or the doctor said him not to smoke in future otherwise the second heart attack will come soon.

      Nicotine is both a stimulant and a depressant. That means it increases the heart rate at first and makes people feel more alert. Then it causes depression and fatigue. The depression and fatigue — and the drug withdrawal from nicotine — make people crave another cigarette to perk up again. Some experts think the nicotine in tobacco is as addictive as cocaine or heroin.

      It can be hard to get used to not holding something or not having a cigarette in your mouth. If you have this problem, stock up on carrot sticks, sugar-free gum, mints, toothpicks, or lollipops.

    Gil Camporazo wrote a new post, Corruptions Losing Trust, Confidence of People to Government 8 years, 5 months ago

    Sometime in 2011, I have written an article and cited some generic possible solutions to get rid of corruptions in the country Philippines. It is a shameful fact to name the country as one of the corrupt nations […]

    • Good read, Corruption is definitely one of the hardest things to rid within governmental systems. With that being said I believe since we live in a very informatic age it definitely makes a lot harder for those behind corruption within government To keep their wrong doings behind close doors!!

      • Thanks for the praise. Ever since the world began and even in the grand council in heaven as what the Bible says, corruption is already there. Imagine one-third of the hosts of heaven joined the force of the Son of Perdition, while the two-thirds joined and supported Jesus to save mankind for the glory of God.

        To admit reality, we could sense how corruption is being practiced in our own respective homes, but we never ever went against it for we do respect our parents and we know they’re for our welfare in the future. I have a personal experience for that. I was hurt for that and I told my children the unfairness which their grandfather did to me, but I told them it is a perfect great lesson for me on how to own family according to the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
