Smoking Kills

During childhood, i wondered why people smoke even when its considered bad. The enthusiast in me was constantly troubling me to find out what was so exciting with smoking.After examining a used cigarette, found out that it had some dry leaves surrounded by paper. When i was 14 years old, i made a cigarette with the above said ingredients and i smoked. Luckily my parents did not find out. But since i found nothing amusing about it, I didn't do it again.

When i joined college, I had no interest in smoking. But eventually, I was surrounded by a group of smokers which tempted me to do it (i don't blame them though ). And yes, i fell for it. I always knew that I was committing a slow suicide. But I couldn't stop. Then i found out that smoking is a kinda "showoff" for many smokers and it brings you the "tough guy" image. (Many wouldn't agree with this, but its the fact ). And yea, the college life provides the right environment for a person to become a chain smoker. Even though i smoked, i didn't push it that further. Everyone says that you'll have a small so-called "kick" but i haven't had anything except for some headache . Some people smoke in order to kill time and i had done it a couple of times.

Smoking at times chokes your throat and lungs. Every morning , when i am in this half-awake-half-sleepy state, i take the promise not to smoke and later that day i realize how bad i am in keeping promises.

YES, "SMOKING KILLS".We all know this. But why don't we care ! The answer is simple..One will learn only from his/her experiences..And one will not know the value of something unless he/she loses them !

Statutory Warning : Smoking is injurious to health !
