3. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :
It is a known fact that children generally emulate the adults. When a child imitates and elders Smoking by holding a pencil between his/her tiny fingers, most of us quite cute. We fail to Realise that his harmless imitation often results in actual smoking when they grow up. So it's time to take a pause and think about its consequences. According to WHO data, tobacco kills more than seven million people each year. While more than six million of those deaths are the results of direct tobacco use, many non-smokers die because they are to second-hand smoke.
Over eighty percent of individuals, who start smoking during adolescence, will continue to smoke in Adulthood while one third of them will die prematurely due to smoking related diseases like cancer, heart disease and chronic lung disease. Experimentation by children can rapidly escalate into heavy smoking.
Experts say that unless urgent action is taken immediately, the annual death toll could rise to more than eight million by 2030. This sure is a gloomy and cheerless world that we are leaving behind to our future generations. So it is time motivate youngsters to stay away from his from this deadly habit.
Dr. Shyama Chona, the educationist says, "The best way to motivate them stay away from smoking is to involve them in some activities." She suggests the the schools can organise events like sports, drama and story-telling sessions. Such participatory learning is very effective because it dissuades kids from smoking, when they themselves propagate its bad effects.
Parents have a big role to play when it comes to influencing their kids. Theatre director Arvind Gaur says that a smoking parent can never tell his/her child not to smoke because they would be too hypocritical.
