smoking cigarettes

Tweet

Ok I know people smoke cigarettes but I am at a loss to why even after all the things that are wrong with them... I understand not stopping after smoking 10, 20 or 30 years but what about all of the young people that start smoking now? My father and my grandfather both died from lung cancer, that smoking was part of the cause, my mom had a heart attack *she is still alive thank god* she still smokes my father stopped smoking the day he found out he had lung cancer.. It did not help him live any longer I think he lived 3 months after we found out. It will be 7 years in July. I was 16 when he passed away my kids never got to meet there granddad. He was 46 years old when he died. To me I do not understand why people would start smoking after everything that we know about cigarettes now. My cousin is 3 years younger then me and as soon as she turned 18 she went out and bought cigarettes. I was talking to my mom about it she will be 50 this year and she was saying how when she was growing up it was "cool" to smoke because kids seen there parents and all other adults smoking. My sisters boyfriend had a magazine from the 50's and there is a camels cigarette ad on there and it says how smoking makes you look a feel good that everyone should try the new cleaner cigarettes. Okay just another thing that makes me mad why do people start smoking now a days?
