Is tobacco pleasure or addiction: lawmakers comment (video)
HHK faction Head Vahram Baghdasaryan doesn’t consider himself to be a heavy smoker, according to his words, he smokes for pleasure, “Everything moderate is not harmful, whether it is drinking or smoking, anytime I wish I can stop smoking. There have been many cases for 3 months, 6 months.” Once he was a professional boxer, but healthy lifestyle yielded its positions during the years, “William Saroyan was a heavy smoker, when they say that do you know that Saghatel stopped smoking at the age of 85, and you say it is impossible. He says that Saghatel didn’t have willpower, he didn’t bring any work to its end.” On May 31 member countries of the World Health Organization including the RA celebrate World No Tobacco Day. According to the statistics, in our country annually 3000-4000 people die of cardiovascular diseases, the main cause of which is smoking. In the RA about 63 % of the population smoke- 50 % of men, 2.3 % of women. How to fight against smoking? HAK lawmaker Lyudmila Sargsyan says, “You have chosen a wrong person, who can give advice. Unfortunately, I also smoke but I think that if a person wants, he can fight and get rid of that vice, as I really consider it to be a vice.” However, she calls on everybody even not to think about taking a cigarette and trying, “Then it turns into habit, one becomes ten, ten becomes twenty.” More in the video
