Its the evening rush hour in Haldwani. Mostly coaching classes are getting over at that time. They feels a sorta relief after the classes. Most of the students leave for home. But something stops my tracks. I see that three school kids buying cigarettes from a nearby shop…
It shook me off that schoolboys of age not more then 18 where smoking cigarette as like it was there solace.
Till that day i was thinking that it is a crime to sell cigarette to children but i don’t think it is so because 2 cops were also standing nearby them and they were standing like nothing is happening nearby them.
Why this young generation moving towards this path which leads to hell? To whom we should blame for this?
We have to move steps against this and stop our young generation going in this path, so come along and fight against tobacco.

"Many shop's don't even display notices declaring that tobacco products will not be sold to minors, Tobacco products are sold next to schools... Somebody must speak out"

It is not something to get shock, I do see many kids who are under 15 even having cigarettes in their hand. Although it is prohibited but still no action taken against it..
