Nowadays, some school students like to smoke. Of course their parents had forbidden them to do so but they tried smoking anyway. A friend of mine who smokes told me then that it made them feel grown up and important. They explained that the first few times of coughing and choking, they got use to the smell and later, as they get older, even learnt to enjoy it. Now, they say that they feel better after a smoke and they get jittery if, for some reasons they are unable to smoke at such a time.
On the other hand, I hate the smell of smoke that clings on to my hair and clothes whenever I am near someone who smokes. The pungent smell and thick smoke never fails to make suffocating to death. Then, I wondered how can a smoker inhale that very same smoke inside their lungs?
If I had my way, smoking should be banned in all public places. Smokers should have their right to smoke in their own home. For those who complained that anti-smoking campaigners restricting their freedom, I would totally disagree. Smokers do not have the right to pollute the air I breath!
Some people have tried smoking but found that they detested it. It made their eyes tearful and their mouth dry! I'm sure these people have never touch another cigarette again after their first experience.
What about me? I do not need to take up that habit that will eventually make my teeth yellow and my clothes stinks. Besides, cigarettes are proving to be burning a hole in a pocket! For those chain smokers it must be a quite drain to put aside an amount of money just to satisfy their cravings. Moreover, studies have proven that smoking over prolonged period of time can cause lung cancer and other incurable diseases. So, for those who are thinking to taking up smoking as a hobby, think twice.
