There is abnormal increase in adolescent diseases in the country. These diseases are result of fast food and fast life of modern era. There has been much hue and cry on cola-episodes which was blown out of proportion perhaps for blackmailing rich cola-companies. Even Union and state governments raced to exhibit their sincerity about public health. If these authorities are really sincere about public health, they should take serious steps to streamline public-life to save youngsters and children from rapidly increasing adolescent diseases.

Urban activities should be re-adjusted to restore ancient lifestyle tuned to famous proverb ‘Early to bed and early to rise, makes people healthy, wealthy and wise’ by restricting night entertainments and telecast of TV serials by say 10.30 pm. Since smoking starts as fashion, therefore instead of acting in parts, ultimate steps to ban manufacture of cigarettes should be taken.
