Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Rumi Ruben expressed concern over certain schoolchildren who are addicted to tobacco smoking and said such a situation should be eliminated immediately in order to save our valuable child population who are the future leaders in the country.
Addressing the media Dr. Ruben said the situation of smoking tobacco products by schoolchildren is drastically increasing and it is the duty of parents, schoolteachers and also tutors to keep a close tab on such children.
Dr. Ruben also said due to this situation students are even reluctant to focus attention towards their usual studies in schools and other extra-curricular activities.
He said even responsible officials should take precautionary measures to stop schoolchildren indulging in tobacco smoking, otherwise these children will get involved even in dangerous intoxicants.
Dr. Ruben highlighted that young people and adults are also suffering from the state of depression and various mental illnesses and that could also be cured with proper guidelines.
He also said that parents should be vigilant over the behaviour of their young children especially those who are engaged in educational activities and allow them to be engaged in leisure activities to minimise their stress.
Dr. Ruben also said many children are also addicted to digital equipment, especially to the internet, unwanted websites and it is the duty of the parents to stop such happenings.
