Philip was in a state of confusion . He has so many questions running in his mind . Why did Marcus leave the room without saying him a word ? Who is this girl who handed him the keys ? He Immediately opened the door and found the note written by Marcus . He read it and understood the whole scenario. But one question left him in a state of pause " why did Marcus didn't tell me anytime about this girl ? " , this made him to think for a long time . There are somany doubts in mind of Philip which made Philip think that Marcus is hiding something from him . On other side , Marcus boarded a bus and left for his home . His mind is completely focusing on the work that he need to do after going to home . Generally while traveling in bus Marcus has a habit of viewing outside the window and enjoy the fresh cold air that hit his face but this time the situation is entirely different . He planned something for a while and thought to take a nap for a while , but unexpectedly the voice of the old man grabbed his attention . The old man who was sitting in last seat of bus was busy in puffing cigar . Generally this is the habit of chain smokers who sit in last seat of the bus , they simply puff cigars and blow the smoke out of the window . This man is also same as them . He started saying to a man beside him who is in 30 's . " puffing cigar until the filter gives a good feel you know , you know what I maintain brands each time I buy a new box of cigars " . This attracted Marcus attention . He started thinking how can these people smoke in bus that runs with petrol . This can result in fire accident in some cases . But he didn't utter a word coz he know very well about the mindset of people who take cigars . Once a man takes cigar , he feels himself as if he is in heaven and he is only the boss of the whole world around him . But this is very injurious to health as smoking may result in diseases like cancer , asthma and many other in long run . But people don't understand this and simply argue that they are doing this for pleasure .
The same question was asked by a man who was in 30 's next to him . Uncle , you don't have fear about your health ? . Smoking like this can cause serious health issues in long run . But the old man busting into laughter and said " look my boy ! we all have to leave this world one day and that is for sure . So why not to enjoy out life before we die . The life which we are living now is full of problems . Even a man who is so genius in this world has problems . Even there will be some circumstances where he has to hold his head and worry about the problem he encountered . So in this case pleasures are only things that make us little bit relaxed and forget about the problems we have in our life . So why waste our life thinking about this is wrong and that is wrong ? He said . But the man in 30 ' s was unsatisfied with this . He started to think in this way " whatever this man is saying is partially true , every man has problems and they worry when they encounter them . Pleasures give man a relaxation , but some pleasures like drinking alcohol , smoking , taking drugs etc are injurious to health , and this man is taking death so easy . So strange ! I think he don't have any responsibilities like family and children " . But Marcus's mind is thinking about something else .Words from author - "CIGARETTES ! Hahaha don't know which genius has invented them , the whole world is running around it . From college students to a man in 70 's everyone has access to them now a days . Let's think a bit practical apart from cracking jokes . Have you people thought anytime how can this pipe that is 6 inch in size kill a person who is 6 feet tall . It's because of tobacco in it . The person who invented this is so genius that he knew very well how can tobacco cause addiction in a person . So he invented this and made it like a business . A big bow to our public who sometimes say "bars close today " . But never say " cigarettes were not sold today " . But do they know cigarettes are more injurious to health than wine or whiskey . In world the number of people who die every year due to cigars is more as compared to people who die of alcohol addiction . The person who simply showoff by taking cigarettes has no guarantee that he will be alive or dead by the next morning . Another important point to be noted is if anyone try to destroy a pack of cigarettes they cause more pollution which is an ultimate destruction to mankind . In this case we can say that cigars are ultimate dangerous products that are harmful to a man , but the ultimate disadvantage is this kind of harmful substance is purchased by many people as if they are purchasing a medicine from a medical shop . Dear readers if you want to know more once go to a medical store and ask for a medicine that is used in an inhaler by patients who are having respiratory illness. Look at its cost . It is more costly as compared to cigarette price . The medicine that is used to save a person's life is more costly than a cigarette that is used to destroy a person's life . How horrible.
