If you were my son, I'd be proud.This. I'd take you out for a dinner at your favorite restaurant.
Quoted by a Mod. Call me a suck up, but I feel pretty damn awesome right now.
Smoking is a touchy subject.
My grandmother, who smoked for less than a year, but was exposed to years of second hand smoking, is going to die of Emphysema eventually. She's 71, and has had it for a year or two, and she won't be able to go on much longer.
I, on the other hand, am 18, and smoke to help me cope with my depression. I have three other friends who smoke as well, and smoke for the same reason. We do it because it forces us to stop, and think, and helps ease stress, anxiety, and any tension we feel. Yet, for the most part, we hate it. We hate having to use a harmful substance to help us feel better, but when pills and therapy won't do the trick, what else will? After I finish my current pack, I'm going to try to not buy another pack, or smoke, and see how long I can go without smoking.
I don't think cigarettes should be banned. A majority of people have a reason for smoking. Some do it to be "cool," and don't know how stupid they are for starting when they didn't need to. I regret smoking, and hate myself for it, but you know what they say: "It hurts so good."
