"What advise would you give "What advise would you give our peers about staying away from cigarettes?"
Annually, more than 430,000 Americans die from smoking cigarettes. Studies have proven that smokers blow seven minutes off their lives with each cigarette; every 10 seconds, a person dies from a tobacco-related disease. Smoking costs smokers about $240 every week; for this much money, you can cover one month's car installment. Tobacco causes more deaths than car accidents, AIDS, suicides, murders, drug overdoses and fires combined. Plus, smokers kill 3,000 bystanders every year with second hand smoke.
If those statistics aren't enough to keep you from smoking, how the people around you view you, as a smoker should. Smokers display premature wrinkling of the skin, which makes a smoker look like you're being mummified. Yellowed teeth and nails combined with disgusting breath and reeking clothes and hair make people think smokers are filthy.
The hacking "hairball" cough typical of smokers irritates the most tolerant of individuals.
So keep on quitting, no matter how long it takes. Sooner or later kissing you will stop tasting like "licking a dirty ashtray." In conclusion, don't be another statistic...don't smoke cigarettes!!
NOT BAD
I really like the point that you are trying to make to society. I agree with you that people should stop smoking. It's a bad thing to smoke and it kills yourself slowly as well, but the worst part of smoking is that you can harm others around you. Whether they may be Family, Friends, or even just normal citizens who try to live a normal life, but can't because they have lung cancer. (Excuse my run on sentence) Well anywayz, good job! And I think we should all try to spread the word about smoking.
