Earlier, in a unique initiative to create awareness among people the health threats of smoking, a young man from Karnataka's Ramnagara set a record by writing the message 'smoking is injurious to health' 260 times on a 6.9 sm long cigarette. The man, who took this unique initiative, MS Darshan Gowda, is from the Mattikere village of the Channapatna taluk.
He said that he thought of taking up this initiative when he saw several people around him, both young and old, succumbing to the injurious habit of smoking. He decided to play his part in trying to help people realise the hazards they are causing to their own health by taking up this toxic habit of smoking. The initiative he took has been well-acknowledged and rewarded by the Golden Book of World Records, India Book of Records, and Asia Book of Records.
