Smoking

Good health refers to a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being of an
individual, which is gained by eating a proper balanced diet. Regular exercise, avoidance of
tobacco and smoking, helps a person in building strong immune system and prevention from
infectious diseases (Laird and et. al., 2019). But today, people especially youngsters are attracted
more towards addictions of alcohol, tobacco, smoking and more. This would highly impact on
health and quality of life, adversely. An essay is being made to evaluate consequences of
smoking in youngsters. This study mainly aims to investigate systematically the existing tobacco
control policies in UK, with potential impacts, including national and international challenges for
prevention of smoking by targeting the youth.
To gain long-term and short-term benefits, adopting healthy lifestyle becomes an essential
part of life for every person (St Claire and et. al., 2020). Taking balanced diet, regular exercise
with maintenance of weight helps an individual in adding more years to life, with minimising the
risk of various diseases like obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease etc. While
short-term benefits include feeling of freshness all day, with more energy to do routine work.
The key hereby, involves minimising risk of early age disease, just by making small changes to
daily lives. Eating healthier food, with regular exercise, eating less junk foods and more, are
some small steps towards adoption of healthy lifestyle (Ruiz, Taylor and Cavin, 2020). But it has
seen that tobacco use and smoking in youths today, is a major public health challenge at global
level, where approaches to its consequences have not been sufficiently addressed. Tobacco
consumption and smoking causes a number of deaths and destroying the healthy lifestyle of
youngsters. It has killed millions of people till 20th century, where if steps will not be taken then
it may lead to increase this data to billions. Children are continuously exposed to tobacco and
smoking via internet and social media, where, teenagers, younger ones from poorer backgrounds
are attracted more towards smoking and tobacco usages (Al-Hamdani, Hopkins and Park, 2020).
