Perokok dianggap masyarakat kelas ketiga di Malaysia

R2D2

KUALA LUMPUR - Seorang ahli Parlimen hari ini cuba mempertahankan hak penghisap rokok yang beliau anggap selalu diketepikan dan dianggap sebagai masyarakat kelas ketiga di negara ini.

Datuk Hasbullah Osman (BN-Gerik) ketika mengambil bahagian dalam perbahasan Rang Undang-undang Perbekalan 2016 peringkat jawatankuasa bagi Kementerian Kewangan berkata ketika ramai yang mengadu berikutan kenaikan banyak harga barang, para perokok juga menerima kesan harga rokok yang naik dengan begitu tinggi.

"Apabila harga rokok naik...kami nak mengadu pun tak boleh. Harga rokok naik daripada RM13 (sekotak) terus ke RM17, tak de naik setakat 50 sen. Jadi bila kerajaan dah naikkan harga rokok, mungkin boleh dipertimbangkan tempat merokok yang baik...buat satu sudut yang cantik," katanya pada persidangan Dewan Rakyat di sini hari ini.

Perkara yang dibangkitkan oleh Hasbullah itu menarik perhatian beberapa ahli Parlimen lain untuk mencelah perbahasan.

Antaranya Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa (Amanah-Parit Buntar) yang membangkitkan pula mengenai hak orang ramai yang menerima kesan daripada tindakan perokok dan menyokong tindakan menaikkan harga rokok.  

"Saya sokong tindakan kerajaan untuk menaikkan harga rokok. Ini isu kesihatan, dan bukan kerana kerajaan nak tambah pendapatan. Saya bukan perokok, dan boleh dikatakan anti-perokok. Kena juga difikirkan kesan kepada perokok pasif, yang bukan penghisap rokok tetapi menerima kesan daripada perokok di sekeliling mereka," katanya.

Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali (BN-Bagan Serai) pada perbahasan selepas itu turut menyentuh mengenai harga rokok yang bagi beliau perlu dinaikkan lagi kerana ia bukan merupakan barangan yang penting.

"Rokok tak penting. Naikkan lagi cukai rokok...bagi GST (Cukai Barang dan Perkhidmatan). Kalau ada vape, vape pun kenakan GST. Biar lagi susah (nak merokok)," katanya. - Bernama

hai semua. maafkan saya andai kata saya mewakili perokok2 tegar di atas muka bumi ini telah mengguris dan membuatkan anda membenci kami semua. sesungguhnya kami sbg perokok tegar, tidak pernah menginginkan ketagihan ni dari terus menguasai diri kami kerana kami juga seperti awak, sayangkan anak2 kami dan ingin anak2 kami membesar sebelum kami mati.

tapi apakan daya, kami sbg manusia biasa yang banyak kelemahan tak mampu melawan kehendak nafsu sendiri.

namun itulah manusia, sentiasa ada kelemahan, cuma kelemahan setiap individu adalah berbeza-beza. cuba lihat pula apakah kelemahan diri kita sendiri, kemudian layakkah kita menggelar diri kita sebagai bodoh atau bangang?
renung2kan.

Sugar is cocaine of foods and kills more people than all the drugs combined. But it’s regulated and considered safe by the food industry and toxicity of High fructose corn syrupIn 1975, William Dufty wrote a book about toxicity of  refined sugar called ‘sugar blues’. In his book Dufty talks about Dr William  Coda Martin’s work about toxicity of refined sugar and how refined sugar has been  depleted from its life forces, vitamins and minerals.
In his book, William  Dufty writes that "what is left consists of pure, refined carbohydrates.  The body cannot utilize this refined starch and carbohydrate unless the  depleted proteins, vitamins and minerals are present. Nature supplies these  elements in each plant in quantities sufficient to metabolize the carbohydrate  in that particular plant. There is no excess for other added carbohydrates.  Incomplete carbohydrate metabolism results in the formation of 'toxic  metabolite' such as pyruvic acid and abnormal sugars containing five carbon  atoms. Pyruvic acid accumulates in the brain and nervous system and the abnormal  sugars in the red blood cells. These toxic metabolites interfere with the  respiration of the cells. They cannot get sufficient oxygen to survive and  function normally. In time, some of the cells die. This interferes with the  function of a part of the body and is the beginning of degenerative disease”.
Over the last few years, many food experts and nutritionists  have called refined sugar ‘lethal’ and ‘toxic to human’s health. Refined sugar  lacks essential nutrients that exist in sugar beet or cane sugar; it also  depletes body from precious minerals and vitamins that body needs for digestion and detoxification.
  When sugar is taken every day, more and more minerals are required  (deep within the body), to keep the acid-alkaline balance in the blood. In  fact, bone and teeth decay begin to happen as more calcium is taken from the bones.   
  Excessive amount of sugar is stored in liver in form of glucose  (glycogen), but since liver capacity is limited, the excess is returned into  the blood in form of fatty acids and is stored in different parts of the body  like belly, breasts and thighs.
When the body reaches its limit in storing fatty acids in belly,  breasts and thighs, other active organs in the body including heart and kidneys  start to accumulate fat and begin to slow down, while other organs in the body including  brain and central nervous system start to deteriorate.
A  study published in 2007 shows that sugar is more addictive than cocaine:  A 2007 research published in the Journal  of Experimental Psychology showed that 94% of rats  that were given two options to choose between water sweetened with saccharin (calorie-free sweetener used in most low-fat or non-fat products like dairy and sodas) and intravenous cocaine (a highly addictive and harmful  substance), choose the sweet taste of the artificial sweetener. The study findings  showed that the preference of rats to choose saccharin was not related to its  unnatural ability to have no calories, since the same result happened when rats  were given sucrose (a natural sugar) instead of saccharin.  
“Our findings clearly demonstrate that intense sweetness can  surpass cocaine reward, even in drug-sensitized and -addicted individuals. We  speculate that the addictive potential of intense sweetness results from an  inborn hypersensitivity to sweet tastants. In most mammals, including rats and  humans, sweet receptors evolved in ancestral environments poor in sugars and  are thus not adapted to high concentrations of sweet tastants. The supranormal  stimulation of these receptors by sugar-rich diets, such as those now widely  available in modern societies, would generate a supranormal reward signal in  the brain, with the potential to override self-control mechanisms and thus to  lead to addiction” says Magalie Lenoir, the leading author of the study.
High fructose corn  syrup (HFCS) and artificial sweeteners are even more harmful than refined  sugar:  As harmful and as addictive  as refined sugar is, the food industry has been using cheaper and more harmful  forms of sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup in almost all processed foods  including bread, peanut butter, ham, hot dogs, pork or sausages, deep fried  foods such as fried potato or rice, canned fruits, sodas (your favorite Coca-Cola  and Pepsi), juices (like orange juice), dairy (milk, cheese and yogurt), commercial  soups, fish sticks, salad dressings, soy milks, chocolate milks, eggnog,  English muffins, tacos, gravy (usually made with corn starch), most of ice  creams, American whiskey, gin, beer, ale and wine, crackers, pancake syrups,  instant coffees, powdered sugar, jams, candies, sauces like catch up, baking  powder and even some toothpastes.

  As if refined sugar wasn’t bad enough, the food industry has  come up with cheaper and more toxic sweeteners like HFCS to keep the food  prices down and increase their profit.   
  A few decades ago, refined sugar was produced from different  food sources or a mixture of them and after foods like grapes or barley were  heated, toxic Sulfur dioxide was added (as bleaching agent) to keep the color  of the final product white.
  But as time went by, the food industry became more expert in  keeping the food prices down by adding more and more harmful additives,  pesticides and chemicals or genetically modifying foods.
More harmful and more  additive than refined sugar that you used to eat 10 years ago is high fructose  corn syrup:   In 1970s, the corn  industry passed a subsidy bill through Congress to subsidize corn with your tax  dollars. Within few years, the US was producing a lot more corn than the public  consumption, so the corn industry decided to exploit the subsidy law, in order  to keep billions of dollars of subsidy that they received every year. They found  a new way to convert corn into corn syrup and keep the final product which is  high fructose corn syrup for almost 12 years. Every year, almost eight billion  dollars of your tax dollars are spent on GMO corn subsidy and the politicians in the Congress get so much money from the corn/aggriculture lobby that they ignore the law passed decades ago even though it is no longer needed to subsidize the industry.
  In the process of making High fructose corn syrup, corn is  heated in high temperatures (almost so overly heated that there no nutrients  left in the final product) and toxic Chloralkai (that contains mercury) is  added to corn syrup.
  Although, for many years now, scientific studies and  research have linked HFCS to wide range of diseases including obesity, liver  disease, inflammation, hypertension, diabetes, brain damage and immune system  disorder, FDA calls high Fructose Corn Syrup GRAS (Generally regarded As Safe—whatever  it means) and an average teenager consumes 34 teaspoons of toxic high fructose  corn syrup a day.
  HFCS can also cause Leptin  dysfunction (the hormone that tells your body you are full), Metabolic syndrome,  elevated triglycerides, liver disease, hyperinsulinemia, chronic fatigue, dyslipidemia,  pancreatitis, fetal Insulin resistance and sugar craving.
Every year, the junk food  industry uses more toxic forms of sugar to hook your kids on their toxic  products:  Just like Tobacco industry, the food industry knows that if they  get your kids hooked on their toxic products when they’re young, they  have them as a customer for life.
In fact, the tobacco industry is now getting ideas from the food industry, by adding chemicals to cigarettes in order to increase the burn rate and hence make smokers start another cigarette while nacotine content of each cigarette has been increase compared to even 10 years ago. As a matter of fact, an estimated 443,000 people  die prematurely from smoking, while smoking tabacco leaves without added harmful chemical and increase nacotine content is much safer and much less harmful.
The story of tobacco industry goes back to 100 years ago, when  the British used to kidnap and ship  kids as slaves from Africa to America.  The slave owners forced these kids to work in tobacco fields that belonged to British American Tobacco plc (also  known as BAT). The slaves used  to dry the leaves of the tobacco plant under the sun and then roll them into cigars  or cigarettes.
  However, as the time went by, the tobacco industry started  adding more and more toxic substances and chemicals into cigarettes to make  them more effective and addictive. Today, there are up to 4,000 chemicals and pesticides inside cigarettes  and toxic chemicals like ammonia (commonly used as fertilizer and in cleaning  products) are commonly added to cigarettes to make nicotine up to 35 times more  absorbed and hence addictive. Find more about  Toxic pesticides and chemicals in cigarettes and how 90% of tobaccos in US are GMO.

The food industry is not any different than tobacco industry -  the nicotine of their food is sugar. So, they come up  with more addictive and cheaper forms of sugar to make their consumers hooked  on their products.
  Why do you think the tendency to eat lollypop, chocolate  (with milk and sugar) or cheetos that you used to eat when you were a child has  a profound power on your brain? In fact, if you never had junk foods when you  were a child, you are much less likely to grow up and end up eating junk foods.
