Smoking

If you ever walked onto any college campus, don't you feel like your walking into an ashtray? Smoking can kill, and its a proven fact. It actually even says it on a pack of cigarettes that this will cause cancer! If people know this, then why do they still do it? What is the necessity, is it really worth your life? People may smoke for all sorts of reasons. Some may reason that the feeling when you breathe it in and you feel it literally filling your lungs, or that people smoke because they are bored, they like that dizzy feeling or even just because it became a habit that they can't kick. However, I feel the reason that many people smoke is because they are social smokers. You know the people who smoke only when they are out with friends and everyone is doing it. They want that feeling of the lungs burning, but for some reason it's only when they are out. Why do people want that sensation though? I have always found the habit gross. The smell alone is nasty and will stick to your hair, clothes even hands for what seems like days, no matter how many times you try toget it off. I won't lie I have been that social smoker once or twice and I have succumbed to the addiction, but after it I don't find the good in it. I'd later go home stinking of smoke, and coughing up a lung, and I begin to think why would I ever do that again. Smoking is an addiction, but it should be stopped as soon as possible, because it really is a nasty habit and it isn't worth your life.
