In addition to smoking, a new addiction has emerged among people in modern times. This addiction is the addiction to social media.
Speaking as the chief guest at the concluding ceremony of the anti-tobacco workshop jointly organized by Law Reporters Forum and Dhaka Reporters’ Unity on Wednesday, Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud said that “now it is seen that parents are sitting with Facebook. The boys and girls are also sitting… This is another kind of addiction. The addiction of the modern age is the addiction to social media. Many people wake up at night and do not take a look at the child, do not check whether the child is sleeping next to him. Rather, opens Facebook and check the notifications.”
Dr. Hasan Mahmud stressed the importance of campaigning to create awareness about the addiction to social media as well.
He said that there is a need to discuss the addiction to social media. These should at least be brought up in the national discussion.
The Minister of Information and Broadcasting also advised the family members to be aware in order to build a healthy society in this situation.
