I do not understand... why people chose to smoke? If everyone know it's bad for our health... it'll cost us our lives... then is it still worth it to smoke? If one day, your life was taken away just like that... what will happen to your loved ones? Your family? Your friends? The ones you loved? Doesn't it matter to you?
I know I know... a lot of people started to smoke due to TONS of problems... people who are tensed up and so... even so... I still don't think taking up the habit to smoke is a good move... What's the meaning of relaxing in that manner? It's not like your problems are solved. Enjoy now...suffer later huh? ... Does it mean that... enjoy the relaxation now...and die later? @@
Everyone have problems... but not everyone choose to smoke. Some people smokes because they think it looks cool... I don't know should I laugh or should I pity them... What's so cool about an act which causes you your life anyway? Does jumping down a building consider cool? Well hey! Not many people dare to do so!~~ Of course... don't do that please...

We used to have talks on smoking in secondary school... The effects are known to everyone...
- One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age
The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.
- Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
- Smokers will have yellowish teeth and a very bad breathe... (I wonder who dares to kiss them then?)

And as I grew older... I learn that the people who inhaled the smokes (non-smokers), they would be affected even more...which is why I became sensitive to the smell... the smoke... Each time I accidentally smell it... I would cough or sneeze... it's really irritating. I dislike it when my dad smokes... But he has been smoking for quite a long time now. I couldn't bring him to stop. I can only ask him to reduce it day by day. I really loved him. I hoped for the best for him too. But if he couldn't stop... I can't force him because I understand he has been smoking for yrs and yrs...

As for my friends... I really wished they didn't chose to smoke. I was shocked when I first heard the news. No actually I was shocked each time a friend of mine started picking up smoking. For whatever the reasons, I couldn't do anything to help anyway. And I felt sorry for them. All I can do is to voice everything out here... Because it does bothers me... to know my dear ones are smoking.... after reading this, if they still continue to smoke... I have already done what I could...
If you are reading this... and you happen to be a smoker... please... stop smoking ok? I mean it! Treasure yourself more. And treasure those around you. There are more meaningful and fun things around. Don't miss out that chance. And life is short... so don't make it shorter ya? =) ...
