No, i don't smoke, i hate smoking actually.
there are various reasons that would push a person to smoke, like smoking parents, friends, relatives, curiousity, etc. I myself tried smoking for a short while, but quit, cause it sucked =)
It's unhealthy, causes a sh*tload of illnesses, from losing your ability to speak, to hearattacks to cancer. I have seen many people die as a result of smoking, one of them is a relative of mine.
Also, smoking effects everyone around the smoker. the person who's smoking gets damaged, BUT the persons around him (Passive smokers) get alot more damage, since the smoker himself smokes through that filter on the back side of the cigarette, BUT the passive smokers use no filters, which is bad.
In addition, smoking DOES damage the ozon layer covering our planet, which is getting thicker & thicker & will eventually disappear.
So, if you're a smoker & thinking of quitting someday, NOW is the right time.
