The pic is superb, followed by a noble message too…

I wonder how we can have a world where more than 50% of the individuals are free from addictions like smoking…creating awareness about its ill-effects may help prevent some individuals in rural areas from getting hooked on to it…but what about the so called “educated” and “literate” urban population where a majority of the men , including women have taken to smoking?
People should realise what a healthy world we could live in, if only they gave up chain smoking!!
