"Smoking is injurious to health"

Every cigarette pack has this message "Smoking is injurious to health" but smokers keep smoking men and women alike. We do not keep an ash tray in our house. My husband smoked for a while but gave up on his own. If any visitor wants to smoke he/she will go to the garden. It is funny that knowing that it is injurious to health millions continue smoking and become victims mainly of cancer. Do you smoke? What brand and how many a day? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woman_smoking_a_cigarette.jpg

For many, it is such an addictive habit that it almost impossible for them to stop.

I smoked for 3 years. I thought after only such a short time it would be easy to quit but it was not! It’s been almost 20 years now since I quit. I’m glad I did. Better for my health and better for my pocket book!

And better for those around as passive smoking is equally bad (lol)

No I have never smoked, not even once. smoking rates have been going down here, but unfortunately now I know a few young people who do smoke and I've afraid my girls may be influenced.

That is the most worrying aspect when one gets influenced when friends smoke Hope your girls are strong enough to withstand it

No, I do not smoke. I am quite sensitized with all the ill effects of it and stay out of it even if any colleagues take some puff

I dont smoke and I dont like it when poeple around me smoking. Most of my uni-friends are smokers tho (especially the boys). But most as I know, they have "reasons" for smoking. If there is one who smoking around me, I'll go away if it's possible or keep the distance. Fortunately, there is no smoker in my house.

I never smoke men. And I rarely smoke women, unless they are headed for my freezer.
