But Some have not Money For Food but they have a money for alcohols, tobacco, drugs, cigrates, etc and some of these people have saying that they have no money for food. That's Why I Choose The Topic "Live Life or Leave Life".
Live Life means "According to Google" Live life to the fullest means facing your fears with bravery, an open mind, and a lack of prejudice. It means making the most of what you have and never settling for less than the life you are capable of living. It means being truly alive and awake to life and not asleep in life's waiting room.
Yes we can say that Live life means facing fear, fight with every problems which come to your path. We have to aware about the problems. We have find solutions for this problem and tackle with problems. But the Question is that ' WE HAVE TO LIVE LIFE OR LEAVE LIFE '.

A one cigarette have minus your 11minutes life and our India is the second largest consumer and third largest producer of tobacco in the world. The prevalence of overall tobacco use among males is 48% and among females is 20%. Data show that, in India more than 35% of adults (274.5 million) use tobacco, of this 163.7 million use only smokeless tobacco; 68.9 million are only smokers while 42.3 million users of both smoking and smokeless tobacco. Over 30 percent of Indian population above the age 15 uses some form of tobacco which includes 14.6% of children in the age group of 13-15 years. Smoked tobacco use is more in men compared to women who are more likely to use smokeless (chewed) tobacco. Beedis are smoked more than cigarettes. And these Beedis have effect a lot on our body.
In tobacco, More than 4000 different types of chemicals have been found in Tobacco and Tobacco smoke. Over 60 of these chemicals have been classified as carcinogens (cancer causing agents) by International Agency on Research in Cancer (IARC) [6]. The main chemical found in tobacco is nicotine which is a highly addictive chemical. Its usage over a long period makes a person physically and psychologically dependent on it.
