"DON'T GIVE BIRTH TO A SMOKER'S CHILD"

For decades, Environmentalists, Biologists and Socialists are trying hard to create awareness about the harmfulness and the effects of smoking. I don't wanna list out the number of diseases that you gonna acquire while you are smoking because, the bitter truth is the damages that smoking cause are not very instant and therefore you guys never really cared and when you really do care ,it will already be too late. Two-third majority of college students smoke. one- third majority are addicted to it. Again the sad part is its treated as a trend as if a basic qualification of any student and people are proud about their skill of addiction. The point is you are not only spoiling yourself like the traditional advises say but the stability of the future generation as a whole.


There is this concept " Epigenetic modification"( chemical alterations of the DNA affecting the activity of the genes). This epigenetic modification takes place in your gene when the tobacco burn, damaging your genetic makeup permanently, like altering more than 7000 genes. And then you suffer with stroke, heart-attack, cancer, asthma, etc.., reaping your fate. But here your child faces diseases and your entire generation will suffer. How?


If you have smoked during the period of conception( egg being fertilized in a woman's body),it will lead to pregnancy no doubt But your child will weigh less than 2500 grams, chances of preterm birth(less than 9 months), chances of miscarriage(abortion), chances of SIDS- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.If you are smoking for a long period of time, the genetic makeup of yours will affect your child with Wheezing illness, mental disability, mental retardation, ADHD (Attention deficit hyper activity disorder), Delayed speech, Behavioral problems, Learning problems, Impaired maths ability. The damages you made in your gene is affecting the nervous system of your kid's brain. On top of all these researches prove Cardiovascular diseases, Cancer, Diabetes chances are high among the kids of smoking parents. 


These are not just as simple as you look at. You might not able to even understand some diseases. "Smoking" results in LOW SPERM QUALITY and sometimes even INFERTILITY, this is way better than destroying a newborn's life. It takes 5 years after quitting to smoke for the genes to recover. But we are at the stage where we understood there is no point in writing pages about the cause and effects to those for whom only their addiction matters. These effects get passed onto Generation after Weaker generation after Worser generation and ends at a stage where there is no Generation at all- "The end of mankind".


So, this is a warning for the woman of this entire nation. Just wake up! we know how much Love, aspiration, passion, life and pain it incurs to bring about a child to this world, you always wanted to give her/him the best, the fullest, the entire. Never with a bad choice. Protect yourself from the SECONDHAND SMOKE! because

You are not just giving birth to a child
 but raising a generation which mustn't be weak or worse.
