“They’re just like rolling their 1000 peso bill and then burning it.” that’s how my professor in college used to describe cigarette smokers. I have tried smoking before in high school. I smoked out of curiosity and  by some influence of friends. But then I just smoke occasionally, and eventually quit after 3 months. Until now I can’t understand why a lot of people are addicted to smoking. I experienced it myself and I didn’t find anything addicting to it. Perhaps I was just one of those fortunate people who didn’t like smoking so much that’s why I didn’t have a hard time quitting. I know a lot of people struggles and pays so much just to quit smoking.

I don’t get it, we all know that smoking is bad for your health. It can cause bad breathe, pigmentation of gums, darkening of teeth, and other harmful effects. Smoking kills, in fact I have read in this article that Cancer can overtake heart disease as world’s top killer by 2010 due to rising tobacco use. Perhaps people who never mind these kind of risks may have a very good reason.
