Smoking

Again? Well I decided that seeing as my other blog wasn’t actually about smoking; it only makes sense to do the topic now. So here goes:-

Smoking is unhealthy. We get it. We see the pictures on the box. Fine. But that doesn’t really tell us why they’re really bad (other than the obvious health issues) or IF they’re bad. Smoking in public places has been banned. Statistically, people cut down when this law was instigated. But what I don’t understand is that why people are willing to spend so much money on a box of fags.

Coming to university has been a life changing experience for me. I learnt about cigarettes, drugs and drink. Things I never thought that I would never openly talk about. But living with people that smoke, one does become accustomed to it. But they shouldn’t have to. Smoking is socially acceptable, yes- but that does NOT mean that everyone should be exposed to it.

I understand that people smoke socially; as in have a cig break at work or when they’re around friends. It gives their idle hands something to do. Everyone has their own opinion on the matter. Just as I have mine: If they want to smoke, let them…Lie and let live. Right?
