Can't wait

until tobacco is a distant memory. The stench of smokers is appalling and I make it a point to stand as far away from them as possible. And when they try to get closer I tell them not to. When asked why, my answer is straight to the point... you smell like a sweaty ash tray and I don't feel I should have to be subjected to that stench.

More food for thought...

The pros of smoking cigarettes are few and they are:
1) Most of the smokers believe that they feel a very strong bonding with other smokers.
2) Smokers enjoy a sense of gratification by smoking.
3) Smoking cigarettes give smokers the feeling of creating a ritual.
4) Nicotine gives a feeling of pleasure to the smokers.
5) Watching the smoke swirl and the cigarette burn is a fun for most of the smokers.

The cons of smoking cigarette are numerous. They are:
1) Cigarette smoke leaves an after smell on everything: your clothes, car and home.
2) You may not be able to breathe properly.
3) You may have a nagging cough all day and night.
4) You may suffer from severe headaches, and occasional migraines.
5) You may feel dizzy after smoking cigarettes too fast or after having too many of them.
6) You may have yellow skin, tooth and fingernails.
7) You may have lot of phlegm, which may force you to clear your voice continuously and may even make you lose your voice mid sentence.
8) You may suffer from increased rate of hypertension.
9) You may have a feeling of inadequacy and substance dependence.
10) You may suffer from nausea after too much of smoking.
11) You may feel anxiety and no relaxation throughout the day.
12) You may experience limited motivation and energy to do anything.
13) The sense of smell and taste may diminish.
14) You may accidentally burn holes in you clothes or your upholstery.
15) You are wasting your hard earned money and ruining your health as well.
16) You may also suffer from lingering colds and bronchitis.
