Hello Lotters,
I would like to let you know that we are NUMBER ONE...AGAIN!
Very very TOP number 1 as a SMOKING COUNTRY!
It's really hard to believed that after the rise of these sin tax we still to have more and more smokers by the year. In my experience i usually get to see working people smoke because of the stress, even for some jeepney drivers.
But what annoys me is that even young chilren or young teenagers started smoking. some i think do it because they want IN or be part of the group or a society.
they will die early before they even reach 50 to 60 yrs. since smoke is cheap they can buy it and they can even ask oldies friends to buy it for them. another effect of poverty in the country. 
What do you think?

Hello Jaihosis- they are wasting both money and their health i can't begin to imagine them dying in their beds. even if your rich you will spent countless money in terms of operations and therapies and medications. so much for not enjoying the luxuries of being rich though

Hi Letran Knight: That's really sad for your country. I know this doesn't help at all but at least I can tell you that it's very similar in my country. I've seen how people start smoking at a young age because they think that makes them independent or that makes them look cool. I can't believe how people care so little for their own health.

Letran, pity to hear nowadays many young people choose to ignore the danger of smoking to their health. They prefer the glamor lifestyle of those who smoke. What a pity to see that they prefer this dangerous path of life since from a very young age. Don't there is any better solution for the local authority to educate them to enjoy a much better life. It is really a pity scene to see younger generation to waste their precious life that way.
