Asal ketagih:Kenapa perlu merokok??

ROKOK satu keperluan 'asas' bagi sesetengah individu! Kenapa?

Tanpa rokok mereka ini tidak mampu memberi tumpuan kepada kerja, Tidak ada idea. Tidak tenang. Resah gelisah. Cepat marah.... Memang selalu kedengaran orang selalu mengeluh...tak makan pun tak apa....asal dapat rokok! Fenomena ini juga kita boleh amati bila siperokok berpuasa. Tahan lapar dahaga tetapi selepas berbuka mereka juga perlu ' berbuka' puasa rokoknya!!

Pelbagai kempen yang dijalankan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan tidak berhasil. Dengan gambar penyakit serius dikotak rokok tidak menakutkan si perokok.Remaja belia yang baru mahu mencuba-mencuba juga tidak terkesan langsung dengan gambar dan amaran tersebut.
Persoalan besarnya kenapa!??

Adakah usaha yang dijalankan tepat pada puncanya atau sekadar 'piecemeal' kerana melihat daripada sudut sudut tertentu sahaja.

Pernahkah difikirkan, dianalisa, dicerakin masalah ketagihan merokok SECARA BERJAYA? Kalau memang telah banyak dibincang kenapa MASIH TIDAK BERJAYA??
Atau dari perspektif lain, kenapakah 'towkay' rokok lebih berjaya MEYAKINKAN si perokok dan BAKAL PEROKOK bahawa faedah dan nikmat menghisap rokok adalah lebih banyak dan berbaloi untuk mengambil risiko teruk seperti kanser peparu, sakit jantung dll...???!!
Apakah yang telah dilakukan oleh PENIAGA ROKOK yang GAGAL dilakukan atau diatasi oleh PEROKOK.Inilah perkara yang harus diteliti dengan mendalam oleh pembuat dasar dan pelan berjadual harus dilakarkan untuk membendung masalah penagihan rokok yang MERUGIKAN MASYARAKAT, NEGERI DAN NEGARA!!
Tidak cukup dengan mengurangkan kandungan tar dan nikotin sahaja. Pelajar harus dididik untuk mengelak sama sekali ROKOK.

Buat baik berpada pada
Buat jahat jangan SAMA SEKALI!!

Health Ministry wants cigarette firms to cut tar, nicotine content

June 02, 2013

PETALING JAYA, June 2 – The Health Ministry will be asking cigarette companies in the country to reduce tar and nicotine content in cigarettes to further discourage smoking among Malaysians, said its minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
He said this will be among the steps in phase two of the ministry’s anti-smoking drive from January next year till June 2015.
“We want tar content in a stick (of cigarette) to be reduced from 20 milligrames to 10 milligrames and nicotine from 1.5 milligrammes to one milligramme,” he told reporters after opening the national-level ‘No Tobacco Day’ at Sunway Pyramid here today.

Also present were Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah and Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
Dr Subramaniam said the other steps included having the size of anti-smoking pictures on cigarette packs increased from 40 per cent (on the face of the pack) now to 50 per cent.
He said all the steps would be implemented gradually and that the ministry would also block direct and indirect promotion of cigarettes besides prohibiting offering of discounts for tobacco products.
“These included supporting community or sports activities though they may be for a noble cause,” he said, adding that Malaysia might also follow in the footsteps of Thailand and stop sale of cigarettes from racks displayed prominently but instead from drawers on demand from customers.
“In Malaysia, between 10 and 12 per cent or about 10,000 deaths of the total number of Malaysians dying annually are smoking related. In 2011, 11,056 deaths recorded in government hospitals were attributed to smoking.
He added that it was estimated that there were about four million smokers in the country.
Malaysians, particularly from the middle class, he said, spent between RM500 and RM600 a month on cigarettes which had huge implications on their economic wellbeing.
On the problem of cigarette smuggling, he said his ministry would work closely with the Customs Department and other relevant agencies to come down hard on both sellers and buyers of illicit cigarettes. – Bernama
