On the occassion of No Tobacco Day, Write a speech in about 150-200 words about the hazards of tobacco, giving arguments for your stand. You are Shalini/Suraj of Greenfields Public School. 

    HAZARDS OF TOBACCO

Respected Principal, My worthy teachers and My dear friends. A very Good Morning to all of you. Today on the occassion of No Tobacco Day, I am here to express my views on the Hazards of tobacco. 

We all know smoking or consuming tobacco is a dangerous bad habit. It contains nicotine, which makes people really addictive of it especially our teenagers and friends which in increasing day by day. It affects our health and causes various diseases and damages to our lungs and brain. Every year number of people are moving to death for this reason and sometimes they are avoided by their family. Through different cons I want to light your attention towards that it is very detrimental to our health. 

Smoking has lot of disadvantages. Predominantly, it causes different diseases such as cancer of different parts of body and brain stroke which makes our body paralysed. First of all, it affects our lungs and reduces its functioning and then we get addicted, all become chain smoker and makes us the victim of mamy respiratory diseases like asthma, TB, respiratory infections etc. It is completely prohibited from our religious viewpoint so we must just avoid it as it is very harmful for not only smoker but also for non-smoker (people around us). Eventually, the addictive people get involved in different types of crimes too. They start collecting money by stealing, robbing etc. which keeps on increasing. Moreover, it is detrimental for environment and pollutes the air of environment. Not only the lungs or brain stroke but also the tooth and gum diseases are also caused by smoking or chewing tobacco which becomes the main reason of cavities. Furthermore, it creates blockages in arteries and and breathing problems in one's blood vessels. Mostly 3% of people died due to heart attack who consume tobacco. Last but not the least, it affects our skin the most and reduces the blood supply to our legs making us paralysed. 

However, the tobacco industry is a source of huge tax for the government and it also provides employment to the huge sector of the economy but still government should take a strict action by making a ban on it. They also built up rehabilitation centres to help addicts give up smoking. On the other hand, people must raise awareness about its harmful effects and take some medical classes to get knowledge and help themselves and their relatives. 

Lastly, people already know the dangers of smoking but they keep doing because of addiction and life habit. But I would say that govt. and personal efforts can reduce smoking in society. And if we want to get good health and wealth one should avoid it. 

Thankyou.

Now, it is the right time to eradicate the tobacco from the society. Government and the concerned authorities should come forward to take the necessary steps to eliminate it. Government should ban the sale of tobacco from all over the country by framing and implementing strict policies or the companies producing tobacco must be put to an end otherwise it should be taxed (heavily) at high rates.

Speech on 'Superstitions and its ill effects on the society'

 Q. You were shocked to come across the news of killings of innocent people purely on superstitions and hearsays even in present days. Prepare a speech on the topic "Superstitions and its ill effects on society" to be delivered in the morning assembly of your school. 


    SUPERSTITIONS AND ITS ILL EFFECTS 

Good Morning Respected principal, My worthy teachers and My dear friends. Today I stand before you to express my views on 'ill effects of superstitions on society'.  

Since long time, we have seen people believe in power of unseen forces but it has no natural, logical or scientific evidence of being true. It is unreasonable but still exist all over the world. The most common sources of superstition are the fear and ignorance. It is a blind faith and has no explanation. Each country has its own superstitions. For exemplifier, In greek, the elements of nature are worshipped as god but in the Indian tradition the god is worshipped in the form of statue. People also continue to worship the sun, moon, planets, stars, plants and so on believing that these things have power to influence their lives. All people even educated and highly qualified may believe in superstitions to some extent. Some people named it as evil eye, ghosts and many more. Even superstitions are related to animals also as such if a crow caws on a house top it is thought that guests may come. Some people believe if a cat crossing your path is s sign of bad luck. 

India has long history of superstitions. For instance, someone sneezes during the time of departure, people consider it yo be unlucky. Similarly, the number 13 is considered unlucky. It is believed that we will do best in an examination if we have curd and sugar before leaving the house. If a person meets a priest in the morning, he fears bad luck may follow. On the other hand, if he meets a beggar, he feels the day will bring good luck. Some superstitions are even related to involuntary movements of body parts like itching on a female palm is considered as a sign of getting unexpected wealth. Twitching of a left eye lid of a man is considered ominous. Similarly in the case of an owl, the hooting of owl is a sign of bad happening as such the wailing of dog. People in all countries believe in ghosts, witches and black magic and its very common. Superstition is often blamed failures in day to day life. Education and common sense can destroy superstitions because superstitions are only the products of illiteracy. Here, knowledge and superstitions are inversely proportional. 

If we look at it look closely, there is no logic behind the beliefs and practices of superstitions. And despite with the technological advancement and global reach of education, superstitions are gradually disappearing. But a lot remains to be done before superstitions are completely done  away otherwise each moment of our life will be on edge.

Mark Twain once said, “The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.” And I couldn't agree more. Laughter truly is the best medicine. It has the power to heal, to bring people together, and to make our lives brighter. We are often told to stay serious and focused in life, but we forget the importance of laughing and smiling. It not only makes us feel good, but it also has a positive impact on those around us. A simple smile can brighten someone's day. In today's fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion. But do you know what can help us deal with it? Laughter! It is a natural stress reliever. When we laugh, our body releases endorphins, also known as the “feel-good” hormones. These hormones help us relax and reduce the levels of stress hormones in our body. We all love a good joke, but it is important to remember that humour should be harmless. We must be mindful of not hurting anyone's sentiments. Harmless humour can bring joy and positivity in our lives. Let me tell you a funny incident that happened during one of our club meetings. A member came up with a joke that left us all in splits. We were so busy laughing that we forgot about all our worries and problems for a while. That is the magic of laughter. In addition to stress relief, laughter also has many other health benefits. It boosts our immune system, lowers blood pressure, and improves our mood. So, let's make it a point to laugh and smile more often. In conclusion, I would like to say that life is too short to be taken seriously. Let's embrace laughter and humour in our lives. It not only makes us happier, but it also makes us healthier. So, let's laugh together and spread joy wherever we go. Thank you.
