Once I was flying on an airplane when all of a sudden I had to go to the bathroom. I asked my dad if I could go but he said no because the seat-belt sign was on. I argued that everyone else was up but he replied, “If everyone was to smoke would that make it right?”
That got me thinking. Did you know that smoking can effect you within days and that even if you have only been smoking for a year it will be hard to stop. you see, when you try to stop smoking your body goes through this stage where you need nicotine. It’s like when your body needs water. You may have recently heard that there are cigarettes or cigars that are totally healthy. but inhaling any kind of fumes is dangerous. If you have a friend who is smoking get them help. It not only hurts you but those around you. They have to watch you suffer.
Smoking abolishes all your dreams. It may not sound serious but it is. From smoking you can get many kinds of cancer, nicotine overdose or much more. Smoking can be cured (AN:Hahaha! cured!) but it is a long struggle up the mountain. This habit doesn’t happen by itself. You choose to have cancer or not. You choose to deprive your body of health. You choose to smoke or not. Believe me. Smoking is not the answer.
