Cancer sticks
To tell you the truth, I am a pretty strongly opinionated person. There are many things I feel strongly about, but I guess I'll just chose one that I really don't like, and I bet a lot of other people will write their posts about this. Smoking. What is up with that? Ahh it's just killing your own body. I have done so many reports, read too many articles, and have seen a ridiculous amount of those gross tobacco commercials for me not to have a strong opinion about smoking. The smell stenches your clothes, smoke gets blown in your face, and not to mention its like sucking cancer right into your body through a tube. Maybe I am a little bias about the situation, because many family members have had and still do have cancer. And since cancer is so closely linked to smoking, I have a very strong no-smoking policy. So many that factor could get in my way. It just bothers me: the facts are out there; the statistics, the logic, the scientific proof, of the effects that smoking has on your body. But we still do it? Are we stupid? Yes, I know there's an addiction involved, but that should be your first clue that it's not a smart idea. Okay, I'm going to stop now. Honestly, smoking just isnt for me. I'm not happy when my friends are crazy smokers, but it's their decision. I'm not against anyone who smokes. I just wish our society would be smarter, and more aware about what goes into their bodies- and care a little more.

I totally agree with you. I think smoking is the nastiest habit to pick up. Growing up I had really bad asthma and cigarette smoke would trigger an asthma attack. I remember one winter evening my aunt decided that it was too cold to smoke outside so she lit up in the house. I had a cold at the time and once the cigarette smoke was added to the air my airways closed. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and stayed there for 5 days. It was such a horrible experience. From that day I have despised cigarettes!
