"Smoking is so grouse..it give you bad breath" is part of a song that I remember growing-up when I was watching some anti-smoking campaign ad. Fortunately, I never smoked as I was educated enough to not touch one. It was in 6th grade when a former smoker came to share about his experiences. He stopped smoking after a hole was drilled in his throat becuase his mouth couldn't take it anymore! He had a voice box to speak, which got my attention-unfortunately, not all my peers as some continued to smoke.
Why do people smoke?
Again, I'm not an expert, but my personal view are many co-factors:
-heredity: parents or family member influence
-stress
-peer pressure
Every individual starts to smoke for various reasons, and it'll take an individual to stop with their own individual way and time.
Why Stop Smoking?
I remember going to high school with a friend, and he would smoke so much going to school that I came home stinking. The drive was only 5 minutes, but my clothes would smell all day. That was one of many situations that I somehow couldn't stand-up for myself against my will-smell goood. Also, I was a second-hand smoker, which affects my health too!
More reasons....
Tips to Stop!
I've met people who have tried to quit and they end up going back to this bad habit again.
Second Hand Smoking Effects Me and Others!
I have been a second hand smoker since hight school. A friend of mine that drove me to school would always smoke in the car (cold days too)..
