Elevator to Death

Smoking, I think is an elevator to death. You just waste your life to those cancer sticks. I don't know why people smoke. I really don't understand them. I could think of so many reasons why smoking is such an ugly habit:
1. It tastes awful
2. The smoke hurts the nose, eyes and especially the lungs
3. The bad scent lingers in your mouth and finger even after eating a gum
4. It is just a waste of money and time
5. It contribute to pollution
6. It make other people sick (whether intentionally or not)
I am sure there are plenty of ugly things about smoking 
If you do smoke, can you please enlighten me why you love it so much?

I agree with you. Smoking is a sure way to have health problems that could be avoided. It is sad that so many people smoke. They get addicted to the nicotine and their body crazes it. It is a very hard fight for many people to overcome. I'm so glad that I don't have this kind of habit. It is so crazy how much those things cost, it does waste a lot of money. I'm already broke so I don't need a habit that causes me to lose more money.

Wholeheartedly agree with you. I would much rather save and spend my money on something else. Something that isn't harmful to my health, perhaps something special for myself. So glad that it's a habit that I don't have to worry about breaking. And I have extra money that I don't have to use to damage my health.

I totally understand what you mean. I cannot stand the smell of the smoke at all. It makes me cough and suffocate. And like you I also don't understand why people love smoking but I do have a few close friends who are chain smokers. They tell me it's difficult to stop smoking and that is why they can't stop.

Hi thatgirl! If it is really hard to quit smoking, why then do some people can really quit it? Maybe it is just a matter of self-will. If you really want to do it, you will find ways to achieve it!

I think the best way to learn why people smoke in spite of those negatives is, to hear it directly from someone who smoke. So, let's wait for someone to come over here, share to us what are the strong reasons for smoking. I myself don't understand why people smoke. So, I want to know also, why.

That is exactly what I want to achieve with this discussion. I certainly hope that those people who smoke would share their opinions as well.

I don't like smoking or smokers either. What I wonder about is how come there are so many people who smoked their whole life and don't have cancer at all, even not at age over 90 years old.
How come others who live healthy do have it?
So it can't be just the smoking who causes it.

You are absolutely correct girl thinking,
In my mind people who do smoke are not thinking about the illness that is smoking you hurt yourself others and nature with this vile vice yet they still do it, i smoked before but quit soon enough since i did understand the repercussions of it, i wasn't a heavy smoker but really was afraid for my health anyway im with you against people who don't smoke.
