Did you know that passive smokers are 4 times more likely to get cancer?
Yup. Passive smokers are 4 times more likely to develop cancer than people who have never been exposed to secondhand smoke. Passive smokers are more affected than active smokers because there is a filter when active smokers smoke cigarettes directly. While passive smokers inhale the smoke directly from cigarettes and smoke that has come out of the lungs of smokers without a filter.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Then, what does The Sustainable Development Goals have to do with the smoking problem?
Of course, It's related. Good health and well-being is one of the points of The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that we must achieve together. Then how can we achieve The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the future? Here I will share the little things that I do that might help to make it happen.
Me as a high school student, personally got this assignment from my English teacher, Ma'am Diana to help make it happen. We started by forming a group consisting of 4 students, then we made a mind map related to good health and well-being. On the mind map itself, there are investigation, preparation & planning, and action on what we're gonna do to help realize the SDGs for good health and well-being. Example :
I personally choose The Dangers of Smoking in Public Places as an example of good health and well-being. The reason I chose this problem is because I feel that in Indonesia there are still a lot of people who smoke in public places.
The first step of the mind map is to do the investigation. My investigation is to make observations about the number of smokers in public places and the consequences of it. Turns out that the prevalence was 33.8 percent, or about 65.7 million people in Indonesia are smokers with most of them smoking in public places among people. The consequences as we know, can damage the health of active smokers and increase the risk of cancer in both active and passive smokers.
Then, the second step is to make preparation and planning. My preparation and planning to reduce this problem is to create a poster about the prohibition of smoking in public places. I personally made a poster using Canva and PicsArt apps. Example :
Finally, the last step is to take an action. My action according to this problem is to share the poster I've made through various media. But since the pandemic happened, it would be quite difficult to go out and distribute the posters. That's why I decided to share the posters I've made on social media. Example :
With this, I hope that a lot of people can contribute to realizing The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a bright future. That's all from me, I hope this blog can be useful for many people. Thank you.❤
