The outbreak of cold continues and in such a situation, people take the help of Sigri to escape from the cold. This provides internal warmth to the body. But if there is a little carelessness during this period then this very thing can also become the cause of death. However, Sigri is still burnt in the rural areas of Chhatarpur district. How to be careful with cigarette? Let us know.
The cold season has started. In such a situation, people plan to relax at night by lighting a fireplace or heater in their homes. While electric cigars can be seen in cities, desi cigars are still in vogue in rural areas. This is what a Sigri is like. Kalicharan Soni says that we still have a Sigri. There is a nugget of wood sawdust inside it. Coal and wood can be burnt in it. It is bought from the market. The specialty of Sigdi is that it requires less wood and coal than an earthen stove.
Take such precautions. Kalicharan says that Sigri was burnt in kutcha houses earlier also and is burnt even today. Burning of Sigri in kutcha houses reduces the risk. Kutcha houses were built in the open in the villages. Whereas in today’s pucca houses, lighting a cigarette is dangerous.
It is necessary to have a window or lattice
Nowadays most of the houses are concrete and are built closed. There are windows in the rooms built in houses, but when the house remains closed, there is less air passage. There is a danger in lighting a cigarette in such closed places due to lack of air.
Don’t make this mistake
Kalicharan says that people often make the mistake of closing the windows of their rooms while lighting a cigarette. Also close the room. Whereas they should sleep with the window open. It is necessary to have a ventilator in your room or you can run it by opening the window.
This is how poison becomes
Kalicharan explains that if the room is closed while the cigarette is being burnt and you fall asleep, then the smoke of the cigarette becomes poisonous. Be it a village stove or a room heater, it releases carbon dioxide and humans also release carbon dioxide, which can also lead to your death. Therefore you have to be very careful. If you keep a heater or fireplace in the room, then run it only for one to two hours.
Relative died due to smoking
Kalicharan tells that an accident took place while lighting the Sigri. This accident happened with our relative brother living in Satna. Actually, those people were heating the fireplace in their new house by putting stone coal in it. His friends were also with him. All 8 people fell asleep while lighting the cigarette. But he had kept the room closed and had not even opened the window. When seen in the morning everyone was unconscious. Taken to hospital where 6 people died.
