From smoking one has more to loose than to gain. I have started by making my concluding remarks, now I will expalin whuy I said so. To begin with, think smoking has never and shall never helpanyone in anywhere instaed it is habbit that is harmfuul to ones life and shortening their life span. on another level it yields very nagative aspoects to those around ypu. The non smokers to be [recise who inhale the smokers exhailed smoke.

You are entitled to your opinions and so am I - I dislike smoking, its stains my teeth and fingers, makes my breath smell bad, extremely unhealthy and it hurts the people around me. I smoke because I'm addicted, if I could snap my fingers and give up I would. I'm not arrogant and I don't think it is cool. Just give up you say - well its not that easy, scientific study has proven it as hard as cocaine to give up. Yes it was peer pressure that started it all for me ( Yes, I'm ashamed of being so easily conned into it ) But at no stage have I ever been inconsiderate when I "light up", I walk a fair distance away from non-smokers, I avoid smoking in very public places, I don't smoke inside anything ( my house, car etc). I know its unhealthy, most smokers know this. Most non-smokers don't realise that most smokers are quite embarrased about their addiction. So in retrospect, don't hate smokers, hate cigarettes because I do. Thank you
