Smoking risky or not
I am not a smoker and I have never tried, so I cannot tell what the feeling is.
However, I know that thousands of years ago smoking was considered as a
religious ceremony. Later this tradition spread through the whole world and
from a special ceremony, smoking has become some kind of pleasure.
Nowadays more and more people start smoking. Everyone has a different
reason to do it. Some people are always nervous or stressed and smoking helps
them to overcome their problem or just to forget for a while, what happens
around them. Others smoke because for them it is trendy and in this way, they
feel cool. However, they are cool only among other smokers. These who are not,
unlike the smoke and do not want to stink of cigarettes.
Unfortunately, the smoking trend has spread among teenagers and it
becomes more and more popular. I do not understand this trend-to start smoking,
whether you like it or not, only because your friends do it. You should not worry
that your so-called ‘friends’ will not want to be with you if you refuse to smoke
with them, because if they are real friends they will not force you to do it and to
damage your health without your desire.
However, if you do not smoke but stay around people who do, you inhale
small amounts of nicotine and this poses a risk to your health. Therefore, I agree
with smoking ban in public places. We are not obligated to tolerate and to inhale
people’s smoke. Unfortunately, the ban is not enough to decrease the amount of
smokers. So the price of cigarettes should keep growing up. In this way, people
will start smoking less cigarettes and this can be the first step of giving up them.
Smoking has become an awful habit, which has a bad effect on people. So
we have to do everything possible to help people to give up smoking. I cannot
help all people but at least I will try to help my friends. I hope you will do the
same for yours.
