This letter of mine is a request to Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr Imran Khan to instruct concerned quarters to redo an old anti-smoking advertisement on national print and electronic media in a bid to discourage the health-hazardous habit of smoking.

The original advertisement showed cricketer Wasim Akram while jogging and during his workout, perhaps, a young child questions Wasim Akram: “Wasim Bhai, Aap thaktay nahi?”

In reply, Wasim Akram says, “Nahi, Main Cigetatte Nahi Peta”.

Let’s redo this advertisement on Shaheen Afridi, for argument purposes to save the young lot from smoking cigarettes.

There is a dire need to keep hammering this message as approximately 170,000 people die in Pakistan due to smoking cigarettes.

SHAHZAD LODHI,
