...HeaLtH nAmAn TaYo! Good News or a Bad News?

on behalf of all the Non-smokers... here's something i found interesting?

and on behalf of smokers... here's something for you to smile on!

im a nursing student. every health related issues concerns me that much. to be aware and to be globally equiped with a new health info are some of the nurse should have in order to advocate something that might save a person's life.

Isang Araw...
i stumble upon my band mate smoking a new brand of cigarette. i said "wow! asenso na ah! iba na tinitira nyo ngayon ha!" since all of them three are smokers and me, a non smoker. jijaw(vocalist) said.. "oo! di mo ba alam, 35 pesos ang isang kaha nito!" (sabay hithit ng yosi with some kinda class..) "patingin nga!" i demanded..

this i found nothing to that pack of cigarette that made it expensive! comparing to "gudhanggarang"(tama ba spelling) and "davidoff" its no different to "fortune" and some local cigarettes available in the street. hanggang sa huli, hindi ako makapaniwala.

untill they(my bandmates) decided to buy 4 packs of it before we all gonna ride home a jeepney.
i later found out that it costs only... P7.00 / pack! WHAAAAAATTT!!!!! or so to speak... 35 centavos per stick! Good Lord!!!!! i was shocked! i didnt expected a cigerette would be priced by that LOW... this will be MORE available to any smoker. and they would never say a cigarette would not be so "Budget pain" when it costs that less..

The real Score:
well... for me, kung magiging ganyan ka baba ang presyo ng yosi, hindi na nila ito iintindihin na isang basic commodity for some smokers. eventually, tataas ang bilang ng maninigarilyo. halos pati ako mismo maninigarilyo na rin. (nyekz! no can do! hehehe) dadami ang magkakasakit, low quality of life, babagsak ang employment then after that babagsak ang economiya lalo. kasi halos lahat na ng tao nagkakasakit. yah, i heard the reason... "its ok to smoke, we'll die naman one way or another e.." see? that's so very positive of you.. ano pang silbi namin kung ganito din lang ang pananaw ng ibang tao.. im not trying to say im a 100% healthy being! but im trying to be one... kahit na may mga hadlang like pollution, new viruses, stress, and hunger. atleast this will be a challenge to be MORE healthy. we cant live forever but atleast we could prolong it. isnt so nice to see your great great grand children?


believe it or not... its P7.00 / pack. mura noh? tsk... wow..
