Description:
According to the official statistics of the Pakistani government, more than one lakh individuals in the country are affected by diseases caused by smoking, <br/>resulting in 298 deaths every day. <br/><br/>Experts suggest that the tobacco industry is targeting young people to create regular smokers, so that they can replace those who quit smoking. <br/>The mentioned approach of the tobacco industry is very old, and the most important organization of the United Nations, the World Health Organization (WHO), <br/>was established in 1948, and immediately after that, the tobacco industry came under scrutiny. In the 1950s, major players in the tobacco industry <br/>established their influence in the World Health Organization. They established organizations that the WHO used, and secretly provided experts to the <br/>organization who apparently worked for the WHO, but actually protected the interests of the tobacco industry. <br/>Former Swiss Health Minister Thomas Zeltner had revealed such revelations. It is astonishing that scientific experts work simultaneously for major players in the <br/>tobacco industry and the World Health Organization.An example of this is a toxicology expert who was a consultant to the WHO<br/>at a time when there was a global campaign against tobacco use. On the other hand, they were also receiving a salary from a multinational cigarette manufacturing <br/>and selling company like Philip Morris. Then there came a time when these connections became apparent to people. Despite this, <br/>they continued to work as a consultant for the World Health Organization. There are such exemplary examples where scientific experts worked against the objectives <br/>and purposes of international health organizations. When the World Health Organization runs campaigns to promote the health of people, <br/>it is estimated what will be the health of the people? <br/><br/>According to an estimate, there are a billion cigarette smokers in the world, who smoke 18 billion cigarettes daily. <br/>Experts consider it the most profitable business in the world. Eighty percent of the cigarette smokers in the world belong to lower and middle-class societies. <br/>Thirty-three million people work in tobacco fields. A large number of these workers come from extremely poor areas and classes. <br/>Laborers include small children who work for very low wages, but the views of those who struggle against child labor do not focus on these children. <br/><br/>Awareness about diseases caused by smoking is not being created. It is strange that China is the number one tobacco-producing country, <br/>where only 38% of people know that smoking also causes heart diseases, and only 27% know that smokers eventually suffer heart attacks. <br/>Similarly, only 25% of the population in Bangladesh, India, the Netherlands, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam are aware of these facts.<br/> In New Zealand, 17%, in France 14%, and in the United States 13% of people are unaware of this fact. <br/>You will be surprised to know that heart diseases are the biggest killer of humans in the wo
