‘Tobacco addiction increasing’
Ludhiana, June 3 While talking about how a person becomes victim of tobacco and its addiction, Dr Singh told that tobacco contains a deadly element called nicotine. As soon as it gets into the body it increases the release of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine works towards good mood, peace of mind and it makes the mind more active. Heart, brain and central nervous system become more active as soon as its secretion increases in brain. A person gets addicted when this secretion is increased repeatedly with the usage of cigarette, gutka or other means of tobacco. A person experiences restlessness, anger, disappointment and headache for the want of tobacco and ultimately starts consuming tobacco regularly to avoid these symptoms. Dr Singh told that tobacco not only contains nicotine but eight more poisonous elements. But nicotine is more harmful than any other element. With the regular use of tobacco, all these elements enter our body and lead to various diseases, foremost impact being disturbance in the part of brain that contains mood balance. Because of the disorder in this system, he does not feel normal without tobacco and to feel normal in this forced state, he uses tobacco regularly. While discussing about the harms of tobacco he further added that it affects lungs, heart and windpipe adversely. At later stages, a smoker has to suffer from arthritis, asthma, heart attack, high cholesterol, hypertension, stroke, mouth, throat and lung cancer. Dr Singh emphasised on the possibility of getting rid of tobacco addiction within a short span of time with determination and will. Psychologists, doctors or councilors may also help in this regard. He also told that if someone abandons tobacco, he would experience both short term and long-term benefits. After leaving smoking, blood pressure and heart rate of a person becomes normal in 20 minutes, the level of carbon monoxide in his blood becomes normal within 12 hours. Within two weeks to three months, his blood circulation and condition of lungs start improving. Within one to nine months his cough decreases and he experiences less breathing problems. After one year, the possibilities of coronary heart diseases lessen and after about five years, possibilities of heart attack decrease drastically. After ten years, possibilities of lung cancer decreases up to 50 per cent as compared to those who smoke, and after 15 years, the possibilities of coronary heart disease come at par to those who do not smoke.

With soaring mercury, keep check on diet: Experts
Ludhiana, June 3 Dr GP Mangla, senior medical officer of the ESI Dispensary Number VII said, "Patients are coming with complaints of sore throat, mild fever, gurgling sound in stomach along with loose motions.

Shopping! Shopping is known to be every woman's weakness. Some do it for the need; others use as a stress buster, for some it is a hobby, while others do it just like that. Recently, on the Internet, I came across an article stating that a new drug has been formed, which will curb the urge to shop among women. Interestingly, belowthe article, it was only comments by the men asking for the drug, so that they can give it to their better halves. Some were asking how will it work, others asked how long the effect of the tablet will remain, some were asking about its availability. Poor husbands, they do not know that no drug can work on women when it comes to shopping, they will continue to shop. Provide our ‘rights’ Children these days are getting more and more vigilant of their "rights". As the campaigning for the Municipal Corporation elections is going on in full swing, the candidates are campaigning door to door in their respective wards. An example of children getting awakened about their rights was witnessed when a candidate went to a house for garnering votes. While the family members were discussing some things with the candidate, their eight-year-old son was standing nearby and was giving a sound hearing to the candidate. The child, who was miffed over shortage of playing space in the nearby park, was quick to add. He told the candidate, "Auntie, please do something about our playground. Some women sitting there do not let us play in the park on the pretext that the plants would be damaged." The candidate was surprised when she heard the child discussing his problem with such confidence. Election fever The Municipal Elections are scheduled for June 10. The contestants, their supporters make a beeline at the places of residents, who can garner them good number of votes. They just "camp" at the homes of residents right from morning till evening, making homemakers stand on their toes, offering cold drinks, butter-milk and all kinds of "refreshing" drinks in this hot, sultry weather. One of my friends complained, "15-20 people from different parties, camp at our place everyday. Today, all of them ordered sweet lassi first and then some minutes later, they thought to have salted buttermilk. I had to buy curd worth Rs 300 to make the guests happy. Before leaving, they said that tomorrow, they will have simple brunch, prepared by bhabhiji (friend). I wish the elections are over soon else I will go mad." ‘Ingenuine’ request There is an NGO, which serves food to the needy patients. The hall where food is served lacks ceiling fans. One day an employee of the hospital requested the founder of NGO, "Sir, please also arrange an air conditioner for us too, as we really need it." Listening to this the office-bearer of the NGO replied to the employee, "Sir why do not you help us first to get the ceiling fans here at this hall, where attendants of patients come and have food in scorching heat." While sharing this communication with the Ludhiana Tribune, the NGO office-bearer said, "Look at them madam, we are providing them food by raising donations and now they expect luxuries from us. It is ridiculous to make such an ingenuine request. Isn't it," rued he. "Single drivers-pay for the road-space consumed" Looking at the pace at which traffic is growing and the way inexpensive cars are growing, the burgeoning of vehicular traffic is proving to be too much for the roads. Although four-laning and six-laning efforts are on by the government, the stretching of roads is perhaps cannot be the viable solution ultimately. A resident stuck in a traffic jam, said that roads are after all are "finite resource" being "consumed" by wide cars and the SUV's. "There should be road-fine for those driving almost unoccupied cars-as payment must be made for one person consuming so much road-space," he said. "This would not only discourage too many cars on the roads and but also encourage car pool-ins to avoid payments," he smiled. — Contributed by Manav Mander, Puneet Pal Singh Gill, Shivani Bhakoo, Anupam Bhagria, Gurvinder Singh
