JCI Nepal Endorses the JAYS efforts

"Leaders in the society has a strong role to play. Leaders should set examples themselves before asking someone to quit smoking. Young minds wonder and follow the footsteps of the leaders. Therefore it is crucial that leader guide them to the right path.

Especially today we see the youth role models are smoking in their private life and I strongly believe that the youth ar greqatly affected by it. This intiative of JCI Bangladesh Dhaka East is will go long way in reducing youth smoking."

Do you smoke because you are mentally ill?

Evidence exists that smoking is more common for people who have a mental illness than in the general population, for example it is estimated that up to 80% of people with Schizophrenia smoke.

Smokers regularly report that the habit works in a stress-reducing manner, and the alleviation of some symptoms of mental illness. However smoking has a number of very serious health outcomes which mean that every effort should be made to help people who want to, stop.
