I think that the reason for the high percentage of smokers in Chile is mainly for social reasons.The competive life and stress in a small country like this one is causing a lot of damage and smoking just like alcoholism it´s a cosequence of this .The publicity is very strong too and the way of life of consumism in Chile is causing havoc in the general public,with no govenment inetervention whatsoever in the control of publicity and in corporations.
The lobby that this companies exercise are huge and for their own economic interests ,in detriment of the well-beeing of the country and it´s people.

ReplyDeleteI think your comments are very relevant. The problem of smoking in Chile (related with young people) has increased and is necessary to monitor teenagers maybe with more advertising about it.
And I think your blog is nice but try to include pictures or videos if you can because the images sometimes are necessary for a better comprehension of the text.
in the last part where you wrote; The lobby that this companies exercise are huge and for their own economic interests ,in detriment of the well-beeing of the country and it´s people. is completly true, they only think in win more money, they don't thinking in the real damage that affect to the comunity that is weak and unconscious in front of this problem.
