Everyone of us probably has something that we do habitually. The fact that vices are also done habitually and we also know that it can be bad for our helath or our life as a whole. But why some poeple just can't avoid it? My friend is a nice person but I always find him smoking and that already made him suffer tuberculosis. He is a birght person and he always help everyone out but I really wonder why he can't stop smoking. I already told him that he will die quickly if he still continues to do it but he never listens. That is the only thing I don't like about him. Can anyone say a reason why it is getting addictive that they can even risk their own lives and waste money just to continue doing it. My friend is getting worse everytime I see him. He looks bad and I don't want that to continue. Can anyone give advice on how to make my friend stop smoking? Please I am begging you for nice responses. I don't want to experience tha same thing that happened on the last discussion that I have started. I'm ding it nicely so please be also nice to me.
