When i go for a morning walk, i always see at leat one person smoking. Where ever i go i still see a smoker. Everybody knows that smoking is bad for the lungs (and all of you), and even you need to pay for it. And what do you get ? NOTHING ! So why do people still smoke even knowing that its very bad. Im NON-SMOKER.

hello,i gave up smoking a year and a half a go, i gave up because i wanted to no other reason, and thats just it personal choice lots of things are bad for the health fatty foods = high colesterol drinking = liver disease driving = car crashes a simple view on things but all personal choice eat correctly and you stay healthy so why are people obese? why do people with liver disease sill drink? why do drivers speed? all personal choice. people will do what they want when they want for whatever reason they feel justifies why they do it.

Hello sunsetdawn, thanks for posting here ! Well congratz, for giving up smoking. I wanted to say that smoking is total nonsense because you dont get anything from it (anything good). Fast food is also very not healthy, BUT at least you can eat, and not be hungry.Thats atleast a plus. Cheers and happy myLotting !

True that it is annoying to see people smoke out at the public places even though there are rules and laws against this. Smoking is bad and injurious. Its not that the smokers dont know this or are unaware. The problem is that smoking is quite addictive and it also boosts the mental state of a person. There are many smokers who feel that they cannot perform better unless they have a smoke. Unfortunately it is true that Nicotine is considered to be a booster sort of a thing. Smokers need proper education about the harm that they are doing to the society by smoking. And there should also be proper rehab centers that would help smokers quit smoking. I agree that not all smokers will give up this habit but some more will and that is better for the society. The Governments will not take any action to ban the manufacture of smokiable stuff as it brings money to them.

Hell thesids, thanks for posting here ! Yeach, everybody knows the risk... Even Governments, knowing that dont ban those stupid manufacturers. One ciggarette company director said when asked do you smoke : "I dont use crap" (yeah, great way to say about your product) Cheers and happy myLotting ! DONT SMOKE !

i'm not a smoker and i don't like to get close to people whenever they smoke. I asked my brother how it tasted and he said that it's very addictive. whenever he feels like smoking, he has chest pains so he said that he needs to appease the appetite. He tried to quit a few times.. it think he succeeded this last time :) very proud of him! :)

Hello orevro, thanks for posting here ! My uncle, was smoking whole life(except childhood ), and quit few years ago. But today, he smokes again. Quit smoking requires a strong will. Your brother is very cool and has a strong will to quit smoking, because its verry addictive. Cheers and happy myLotting ! DONT SMOKE !

Even it's a long time that I can't accept my dad, my brother, and my husband smoke,and I don't know why they like to smoke. I told them it's very danger for their health if they smoked much each day. I even saw them who smoked at once after having dinner. I felt it's so bad that they smoke after dinner. I really hope them can get rid of smoking one day.

Smoking in public places truly deserve condemnation action deep. When a person smoking in public places, he not only destroyed his life but also cause bad influence to others. In my country, people smoking everywhere, in hospitals, at work, on buses, in schools .... I really do not like smokers.

There are somethings which will not be completely stopped even if we know it is harmful. Smokers come in many different kinds, come who do it occasionally, some randomly, and the addicts. Who can't live without smoking, its just that they have lost control over themselves. No matter how many pictures and cases you show and tell them, they will only stop if they themselves feel the need.

Hi, I don't like to get close to a smoker...their smoke smell is so strong and I get headache with it. I am lucky that my husband is not a smoker. I saw people smoke here and there,be it ,smoking is not good for our lung.But people just can't be bother about it and they find their own enjoyment from smoking. Of course, some people will smoke due to their stress in life or work,and they find smoking is a way for them to release out their stress. Being a heavy-smoker is definitely make our body turn bad and for long term,it may lead to some sickness. Stop smoking and leading a good healthy life!!

All of us including the chain smokers know that smoking is not at all good for health, but they can't avoid it , it's not their problem,they are doing it automatically, when they don't get that feeling they cant tell what will they do, but now a days it's very easy to quit smoking Bcoz there is treatment for that, if anyone really wants to quit smoking just consult a doctor, if anybody don't know about that then please u all must help them, we should tell them that ther's treatment for that... and help them to quit smoking,
