HEALTH CAMPAIGN: Baby monkey is forced to smoke a cigarette at Chinese zoo 'to raise awareness of the dangers of smoking

A zoo has sparked outrage after forcing a baby monkey to smoke a cigarette on camera as part of a supposed public health campaign.

Hengshui Wildlife Park uploaded a video of the monkey named Banjin smoking in Hengshui, Hebei province, yesterday.

In the video a woman off-screen removes the cigarette and tells off the animal, saying smoking is harmful.

The monkey rubs his eyes and falls on his back after the cigarette is taken from him.

The zoo keepers said they shot the video to raise public awareness against the vice. They added that the captive monkeys usually do not smoke.

Bosses at the zoo did not comment on the incident but Chinese social media users hit out at the wildlife park, saying the video was cruel.

One user wrote online that the monkey looked like it was hurt. They wrote: 'He fell over on his back like he was dizzy and sick.'

Another added: 'A zoo should know better than doing this. They are supposed to care about animals.'

The US Food and Drug Administration said animals exposed to cigarette smoke have been found to be at higher risk of illnesses such as pneumonia, eye problems, heart disease, and cancer.

The smoking monkey video is the latest in a list of controversies surrounding animal welfare in China.

Last May, the 'blind box' craze — in which pets were sealed and sold in 'mystery boxes' for about £1.11 ($1.50) each — swept through online shoppers in the country. Animal activists rescued around 160 cats and dogs, some of which had died during transit due to suffocation.

Righteousness2:
Humans are so stubborn and have refused to hear that " Smoking is dangerous to your health" and " Smokers are liable to die young"! So they had to use an Animal to pass the Message, hoping they will hear.

Ur post is not end-time related this time around.

Somebody shout Hallelujah!!!

They mean smoking is met for animals not humans

As writing it on the packs and doing campaign is not enough to warn smokers

They decide to use animals to warn people

Let us help with some Ways to Quit Smoking

Prepare for quit day.
Once you have decided to stop smoking, you are ready to set a quit date.
Pick a day that is not too far in the future (so that you do not change your mind), but which gives you enough time to prepare.
There are several ways to stop smoking,
but ultimately, you need to decide whether you are going to:

quit abruptly, or continue smoking right up until your quit date and then stopquit gradually, or reduce your cigarette intake slowly until your quit date and then stop.

On your quit day:
Do not smoke at all.
Stay busy.
Drink more water and juice.
Drink less or no alcohol.
Avoid individuals who are smoking.
Avoid situations wherein you have a strong urge to smoke.
You will almost certainly feel the urge to smoke many times during your quit day, but it will pass.
The following actions may help you to battle the urge to smoke:

Delay until the craving passes.
The urge to smoke often comes and goes within 3 to 5 minutes.
Deep breathe.
Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of three and exhale through your mouth for a count of three.
Visualize your lungs filling with fresh air.
Drink water sip by sip to beat the craving.
Do something else to distract yourself.
Perhaps go for a walk.
