Is Smoking really banned in MUET?
Drug abuse is a fatal addiction of course we all know that but nobody really gives it a second thought and in a thirds world country like Pakistan most of the people don't even realize how much it affects their personal life in Sindh there are a lot of minors who start smoking under age of 15. According to a report on Express tribune
"It kills nearly six million people each year, of which 100,000 deaths occur in Pakistan. Of the six million deaths, more than 600,000 are victims of passive smoking."
And not only them but their families have to suffer their loss. Few major reasons of increasing numbers of smokers everyday are the lack of awareness and ease of access to the cigarettes to every age group let it be an 8 year child or 90 year elder you can find it on the next shop of your street on this regard the administration of MUET recently took appreciative steps to stop this course or slow it down worthy Vice Chancellor of Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Professor Dr. Aslam Uqaili passed an order of banning smoking in campus buildings and stopped the practice of any tobacco be sold and ordered all the canteens and kiosks to immediately cut the sale of these things on which they agreed upon but not for long , after few days canteen owners started selling these cancer causing materials again and is available easily.
Reports says these are being sold at canteens like hilltop kiosk opposite central cafeteria and falafel canteen so the question arises
- Is Smoking Really banned in MUET?
- Were any of these actions effective?
- Is the administration going to take any action?
Hopefully Yes,But you never know!
