Question
Visit a local doctor. Learn about the harmful effects of smoking. You can also collect material on this topic from other sources. You can seek help of your teacher or parents. Find out the percentage of people of your area who smoke. If you have a smoker in your family, confront him with the material that you have collected.
Solution
I visited a local doctor and learned about the harmful effects of smoking. The doctor explained that smoking causes respiratory problems, heart disease, various types of cancer and a decrease in immunity. In addition, I gathered information from books, articles and the Internet and took help from my teacher and parents. When I found out the percentage of smokers in my area, I found that about 25% of adults smoke. Finally, if someone in my family smokes, I will inform them of the information I have gathered. I will collect all the information such as brochures, articles and notes from doctors and present the facts calmly and respectfully.
In this way, using well-researched information can help smokers understand the serious consequences of smoking and encourage them to quit. The aim is to raise awareness and promote a healthy lifestyle for all.
