Puffing smoke like Peugeot 505

Our forefathers smoked way more than this, infact snuffing tobacco and smoking pipes were more common back then. Only difference now is that people are now aware of the dangers of smoking asides that nothing has really changed.

See how they are emitting smoke like compression ignition engines

Pathetic.

There are always 2 distinct choices we all must make every day.

Follow God and enjoy a pleasant life or follow the devil and be ruined here on earth and in eternity.

Life is about the choices we make.

Their life, their smoke, their kidney disease, their death, non of my business.

Hookah

This is very bad. I dint have any problems with adults smoking but WTF is a child doing with that? The parent of that child should be jailed.

Its now rampant....too many junkies

Lol you need Jesus. I swear.

I don't just get it. Smoking is a habit of choice. You do not smoke does not make you a better human. As long as it is not detrimental to your existence, kindly mind your business. Step out of your myopic comfort zone and try to see beyond criticism and self-righteousness. LIVE AND LET LIVE

Lola, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one. You echoed what was on my mind.

Tobacco was once a contraband just as marijuana and cannabis was. Thing is, We allow sentiments take over the judgemental/conscience that created the moral and ethical guidance of human existence. The quest for wealth is another reason. There is an obvious decadence in the system which is inevitable. We can only guide our loved ones on the right path. As long as humans will allow their sentiments interfere with their conscience there will always be change from what is seen seen norm or abnorm.
For people in th part of the world, we need to deal with peer pressure.

Really?!! You go ask your Parents. Mr. Judge, Mind your own life.

I know a lady that can't stay a day without smoking.


Its very disheartening.

If she don't see cigarette, then she smoke weed or S.K plus codeine. Always on highness.

Person future mama.
Junkie!

Such a wasted generation we now have.

I wanted to say many things to you to reset your mindset. But no. I will allow you to continue with your reasoning.

Smoking shisha in a minute is equivalent to smoking 50 cigarettes

It's worse in Benin and warri

You don't have to conclude or give up on her. she needs help

How Did We Get Here?


We started from the bottom .............

Sammyramires:
Heraclitus of Ephesus (c. 500 BCE) was known to his contemporaries as the 'dark’ philosopher, so-called because his writings were so difficult to understand. Seeming to hold the common understanding of the nature of life and the purpose of human life in contempt (as, in fact, he seemed to hold most, if not all, the human beings he came in contact with).

However, following in the traditions of the earlier Pre-Socratic philosophers, Heraclitus of Ephesus expounded a physical theory of matter and the physical world much along the lines of Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes, but took the ideas further in his famous assertion that “Life is Flux” (Panta Rhei in Greek, meaning everything or all things change).

If one understands that change is the only constant thing in life then one will more easily recognise what Heraclitus is saying in his 'obscure' writings when he claims such things as, “The way up and the way down are one and the same. Living and dead, waking and sleeping, young and old, are the same. These things are the same in that they are all subject to change, arise from one change to vanish into another change.

Meanwhile, Heraclitus popular quote of "The only thing that Is constant Is change", better summed up the latest habits of Nigerians who has found a solace in smoking Goza, Narghile, Hookah or Shisha as the name may appear.

According to research, there is a daily increase in number of people smoking shisha in Nigeria than any other African country. As a matter of fact, more people are dumping cigarette smoking for Shisha with most believing that Shisha puffing does not attract the same risk as cigarette does.

However, Shisha pipes use tobacco sweetened with fruit or molasses sugar, which makes the smoke more aromatic than cigarette smoke. Popular flavourings include apple, plum, coconut, mango, mint, strawberry and cola. Wood, coal, or charcoal is burned in the shisha pipe to heat the tobacco and create the smoke because the fruit syrup or sugar makes the tobacco damp.

Aside the contents that seems sweet before ears, Shisha puffing remains a deadly practice that needs to be curtailed if possible.

It is shameful to say the least in our country today, when a Five year old boy/kid is seeing holding the pipe, puffing and inhaling what Shisha produces after a snuff.

If care is not taken, we might witness a situation where a 7 day old baby will adopt the habit of puffing Shisha in place of breast milk.

Looking at this obvious anomaly as a neutral, one would agree that the country and her citizenry of different age are gradually turning to "A generation of Pipe Holding", but the question is:

How Did We Get Here?

Very insightful

Akshow:
If people wanna smoke let them smoke. It's their health , their money and their life. Is it ur smoking? That's the problem with Nigeria. We leave the log in our own eyes and worry about the peck in someone else's eye.

It is our problem because they add unnecessary burden to our fragile health system.
