Do you smoke?Do you know smoking is bad for your health.It is not until recently that smoking has been firmly proved to be hazardous to health.It irritates the throat and respiratory passages.It sometimes leads to poor appetite,nausea,short breath,and irregular heartbeat.More importantly,smoking is associated with chronic and fatal diaeases of respiratory tract.Evidence shows that smokers are more likely than nonsmoker to develop cancer of the lung,throat,tongue,and jaw,emphysema and bronchitis as well.
In brief,smokeing does nothing but harm to people's health.Therefore,smokers of any age or kind should try to give it up.

I don't smoke and I can't stand people who do smoke. This year a law was passed no smoking in public areas and I am so happy for that because people who smoke do not look around at who they are smoking next to. Fine if you want to die go smoke your heart out but do it where no one else has to smell the smoke. Smokers will smoke in front of pregnant women and children. I know there are some pregnant women who do smoke and I'm totally against that also because what did that kid do to you to make you smoke and mess him/her up. They even have warnings about how smoke can stunt a childs growth. Why would you do that to someone? Smokers only think of themselves and should be punished for it.

:)I think these things you referred to have side effect,but everything has two sides.It all depends on which one is bigger.Chocalate has harmful effect ro spleen kidney but some researcher find that it's good for heart.I think smoking don't have good effect for the body.Do you think so?

I've never smoked in my life. Never. The last year a new law forbade in my country (I live in Italia) to smoke in every kind of shops, in restaurants, cafés, pubs, and so on. It's a question of respect. Everybody must be free to do what he/she wants, but every smoker shoud respect the decision of people who don't want to smoke. If you smoke near me, I can breath your column of smoke and so I'd become a smoker even if I hate smoking. So, you can do what you want, but please, respect the others.

I ever thought I would smoke, more than drink, because it's cool. But now ,I might not, for I'm a medical student. It's not healthy.

I am non smoker. I have never smoked in my life and in future too i never intend to smoke. As i know smoking is bad for health. Thanks for the information although. I feel pasive smoking is also bad so one should stay away when one smokes and one should discourage smkoking.

no, i dont smoke. i care so much about my skin and we all know that smoking damages our cells and makes us look old by hastening the aging process. i like to eat healthy and live healthy, therefore, smoking is really a no-no for me. :)

nope, i don't smoke but i'm around smokers a lot since most of my colleagues smoke. whenever i'm around them my hair and my clothes will stink! haha. i don't understand why people smoke even though they know that it's bad for their health? why would they want to put themselves at risk? weird...

I used to be a smoker. I havent had one for 6 years and 4 months to the day. I smoked for almost 4 years before i quit. It is a terrible and deadly habbit and i am glad i was one of the lucky ones that was able to put the habbit to rest it isnt so easy for all.

You are right, chronical smoking is complitely bad and damaging for health. But I think to have one or two smokes when having party (if the party is once a week maybe!), it is ok, but You should have firm character not to give way teptation to smoke on more regular basis. In moderations, nothing is too bad or too good!
