Why Do People Smoke

I wrote my own opinion about smoking. What do you think?

I'm a Teenager and a German. So my English isn't very good. I Hope you understand it. So this is my own opinion which is based to everyone who read it.

Why I write this content is that I often see my friends and other people smoking cigarettes. It hurts me. I always ask me why people do something like that. I think most of them think it's cool to smoke. But the truth is that it only damages your own health. How you can see that every year thousands of people die because of smoking. After time you get addicted and you can't stop. Sometimes people also go a step down and take some drugs like cannabis, because tobacco isn't enough anymore.

So if some smokers read this article please try to change yourself and stop smoking. It only has a negative site. Smoking only shows your weakness of your character. The whole think looks like that smoking is a kind of hobby which people use to spend their time.

What happens when you smoke to much?

At first you get addicted, how I said before. After some weeks or months you can fell the first sighs. You get worst in sports. Your conditions get low. You get alone. Your lungs get dark. You have to cough always when you stay up. You always smell. People who don't smoke think badly about you.

There is a statistic that it takes about 15 years after quitting (when you've smoked for a long time before) to get the same heart attack risk like non smokers. That's quite long.

So please smokers try your best and stop smoking. Doesn't matter how long you smoked before. My grandfather had 2 heart attacks after 30 years of smoking. Luckily he stayed alive and stopped smoking. So never give up.

Ole, they want to be "ganxtas" like ganxta1234?

Anyway, I don't smoke and don't intend to because of the health risks, but it's a little naive to wonder why people smoke. It gives you a nice feeling, like every drug does. Maybe young ones smoke because they think it's cool, but grown ups do it for the same reason people drink alcohol or do other drugs - because they like the effects.

It's a good thing he tells us his own experiences (his grandfather). stay away from smoking!! GO ;-)
#15 by no, May 30, 2007
jea your totttaly right nobody. Ppl have to get more open. They need to share their problems with other. Only so they can solve it.
#16 by Jono.B, May 30, 2007
to be honest i really dont care about people smoking , as long as they arent hurting anyone else. its their life choice and they can do what they want
#17 by jaja, May 30, 2007
the think is that when ppl smoke and you stand for example next to them, you smoke passive. Thats also bad for your lungs. Think about it
#18 by sm, May 31, 2007
so. smoking. so many ppl smoke and they dont care about their health. They only smoke cuz they are addicted or they want to be cool.

well my grandpa smoked eversince and he never had a heart attack or any lung problem and he died at the ripe old age of 95.... just goes to show that you'll die when its your time to die! just something i wanted to share...
#23 by Jessie, Oct 17, 2007
You have nice, fluent English in you! Nice job!
Well anyway... I think people smoke because they think it's cool, their friend told them to, how they're advertised, andthey think it will make them act, look, or feel different.
#24 by Jessica, Dec 3, 2007
I agree with you
#25 by Merlyn, Dec 5, 2007
I read this article......I have the same opinion as the person who wrote this article........
Those of you who smoke, plzzzzzzzzzz give up..........
There are many other good things that you can do to avoid stress besides smoking.........
SMOKING = KILLING YOURSELF= SUICIDE = HATING GOD = LOVING DEVIL = KILLING YOUR SOUL......
u can get a good life even without smoking..........trust me........
Personally I am a person with a lot of problems...but I don't smoke and usually find out a solution to my problems using my head.......It really makes me stronger and stronger every day.........
GIVE up smoking and come back to LIFE........
ENJOY..........MErlyn
#26 by Merlyn, Dec 5, 2007
People who really love you won't say to smoke............SO listen to people who say don't smoke..........
