Cinema And Albums Making Alcohol, Smoking As Routine

While understanding views of school going kids about alcohol and smoking, I was stunned to realise one thing, that, 80% of them don't think "it's Bad or Dangerous" for them, it is casual and if somebody is smoking or drinking alcohol, then "so what? It's OK" is their comment. 

Just one generation back, these bad habits were considered seriously bad. But now a days Bollywood songs like 'char  bottle vodka', 'Johnny Johnny, maine pi nahi', 'la lla la lla lory, daru ki katori', 'mai alcoholic hu', so many hit (?) and popular songs are directly singing about alcohol. When innocent children sing such songs, then sub consciously their mind is accepting, this as normal and OK. Watching advertisements about soda, are links to alcohol and brainy kids know it too well. 

If parents do smoke and/drink alcohol, even if one tries to hide it from their kids, kids know it anyway. This is indirect acceptance as well as encouragement to kids towards bad habits. If such kids start, any of these poisons in early life as mid teen age, then they are highly prone for liver diseases, cardiac disorders, infertility, Alzheimer's,  etc. 

So what is the strategy to prevent such complications? Can we restrain  children from watching TV, Movies? Can we start campaign, against such songs, movies? In Hollywood movies, alcohol is simply OK , because very cold weather, needs such support, is the view. But, are we going to follow this blindly?simply as craze? Our Sanskriti never allow us to consume such poisons. To prevent this, we can't restrict our children from various exposures, but we have to talk with them , regularly. Parents should confide in pupil, and request him/her, not to fall pray to such habits. 

Emotional instabilities at home fronts lead to consumption of drugs. So communication in friendly manner, faith in relations , conservation of tradition are necessary. Every month either mother or father must listen to their kid, know about their friend circle, recent topics of discussion in class/school. Parents has to show respect and love towards kid in proper manner. Balance between pampering and strict rearing is must. Friendly talk about views on smoking and alcohol, followed by careful and informative talk which must not be boring, is essential. Parents, please be aware and take Good Care! It starts, of course with, Yourself First! Avoid smoking and consumption of alcohol. Be Healthy and Really Happy!!
