Yeah...smoking can harm young generation and also can cause cancer..! And what is the benefit of smoking..? According to my view there are no benefits...only disadvantages.. Harm is not only to the smoker but as well as the people around him...and also the society... :-(

i grew up 2nd hand smoking. my parents smoked even the risk. they did it because 1. they were addicted. if your addicted you don't just quit, that takes time that not everyone has. 2. it calmed them, likewise, most people do it to calm them.

It is a powerful addiction that many find hard to stop. The image is out there that it is cool and macho to smoke when the reality is that it a deadly addiction. Honest education is a good weapon to fight this blight. Smoking is not cool, it is cruel!

It is difficult when you are addicted to something. I know if someone said that I had to get off caffeine I would not be able to do it.It is sad to see someone start smoking because it is so hazardous to their health and those around them.

Smoking is not good but it not worse than other dangers to life. I think the most threatening is stress and again stress! Then pollutants... I've just found out one of my friends has lung cancer and she has never smoked... but had a lot of stress and a job with radars nearby. On the other hand all toxins in the body can be annihilated with antioxidants and vitamins. To have a good health the most important is the immune system. It can fight against any danger to health if it is strong. And we can make the immune system strong. So smoking is a kind of black sheep...of all the evils.

I'm so lucky that my fater do not smoke, and he always told me that it's really bad for health to smoke.Though some people know that smoking would be affect their children but still oould not resist.Anyway,just eat healthy and pay attention to everyday diet.Have a nice day.

people do it for fun then they get use to it and then it they are addicted to it..and things that people get addicted are not easy to stop.. there are many of my friends who try to stop smoking they stop it for days some time for weeks but then they start it again .. it depends on the will power and how happy they are in their life...

Hello, There are lots of disadvantage of smoking and i know they are aware of it. I keep informing my friends about this but they just told me that it is for enjoyment. Well, i cant understand because it is not goo in there health at all. And besides nowadays most people that engaged in smoking are the young generation. We cant fight what they used to do. I dont have any idea how a Can we stop them.
