14 - Anti-smoking

Are you a smoker or not? Well I' am not a smoker because I hate smoke. Yes you read it right, I hate smoke, whenever I smell smoke I instantly cover my nose with my handkerchief or if I have no handkerchief I will try my best not to breather from my nose but from my mouth. that is how I hate smoke so much, as much as possible I stay away from people who smoke, it irritates the hell out of me. Not only that but because second hand smoke is more dangerous that the one who is really smoking.

Because of me we have a rule at home that says "No smoking inside the house" because even my family do not like the smell of smoke except my father because he smokes bu he is trying his best to lessen it every day because my mom told him so and it is bad for his health, for everyone's health to be exact.

I don't get it why people need to smoke, they say it can relax your feelings when you are angry but why every single day? Other even smoke more that twenty times a day, are you angry twenty times or every single day? No, but why do you need to do it even though you know it can cause a lung cancer? That is the real question for the smokers out there. They always say that they are used to it and they cannot live without smoking but they never tried to quit. What if they will have a lung cancer or any sickness, will they be the one who is going to take care of themselves and pay the bills and medicines, of course not, but the people around them.See how much pain and responsibility you can cause if you are a smoker.

One stick is equivalent to minus one day of your life as what they say. The price of the cigarette is not a joke as well, it cost 3 pesos, do you even realize that you can save the money and buy something much useful that smoking? Better yet chew a gum, it is safer.

I think we really need a 'Anti-smoking campaign' we don't only keep the community safe but it also lessen the pollution around us and it is good for our country. I gladly say that we have an anti-smoking campaign in our school, it is good because almost one-forth of the population in every school here in Manila smoke maybe because they think that smoking makes them look cool but they thought wrong. I suggest that all the schools should have a 'Anti-smoking campaign' because it doesn't only reflect on the student but it also reflect to the image of the school.
