Smoking poses serious health risks to both smokers and non-smokers. Millions die from smoking-related illnesses each year, yet smoking rates remain high globally. Governments need to implement strict regulations like banning smoking in public places, raising taxes on cigarettes, limiting who can purchase them, and requiring health warnings on packages to discourage smoking and protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke. Individuals should also encourage friends and family to quit smoking and raise awareness about its dangers to promote a smoke-free environment and healthier lifestyle for all.
