People have different reasons to smoke. It could be peer pressure, the 'feel good factor',the 'cool element', and maybe just to be rebellious because someone else said please dont do it. The interesting part of this whole cigarette phenomenon is the fact that even when on the packaging it says- Smoking kills , it does not seem to effect the smokers. What smokers donot understand is, that they are not only harming themselves but harming others by their habit. Secondhand smoke contains a higher concentration of cancer-causing agents.
The saying goes- Its just one smoke- one cigarette- but research indicates that Just one cigarette increases the stiffness of the arteries and a person is more likely to suffer from heart disease or a stroke. One cigarette causes adverse effects on a person's lungs, heart,arteries- so why continue. Do you want to reduce your life by 11 minutes- have one smoke. People donot understand that they have loved ones who care for them- and they shouldnt be so irresponsible to not care for their life. Life is given by God- and who are we to damage it, carelessly.
My request- give up smoking since it makes your clothes stink, your breath smell, and is harmful to you, others and the environment. We all breathe the same air- let it be fresh and stay that way.
