Smoking

At the end off the day everybody, smoker or non-smoker, knows the dangers to health this can cause, and as a smoker i can say that the amount of problems it can cause is terrifing. Smoking kills around 114,000 people each year in the UK, from cancers and heart related diseases. Health experts bang on about this consantly and in the past few years the quit smoking adverts and help seems to have been up-ed. Fair play to the people who want to quit, I would do my self, not because of the health risks but because it might help me in the vain attempt to whiten my teeth. In todays society they are a lot more problems than the smokers damaging themselves, Im too young to be worring about the health risks and living ten years less than a non-smoker, because at the end of the day, obestity is on the loose and i will probably live as long as every other non-smoker who enjoys to eat a bit to much. But then again at my age theres more chance of me being damaged by drinking to much, being hit by a car or just being generally stupid and either seriously hurting my self or scaring my self for life. Just like all the other stupid or damaging things you can do to your body, smoking, I find, is enjoyable.... especially when you've had a drink. I believe this is how many people start, or by mixing it with other enjoyable substances, not forgetting peer pressure and to look cool when you were still in high school. On the other hand, I think that smoking while pregnant or around children is completely stupid and inconsiderate, seen as the damage caused to infants is a million times greater, if you want to harm yourself then thats fine no problem, but harming something that you are ment love, cherish and do any thing to protect just doesn't make any sense what so ever.
Same goes for people who don't smoke, that should be respected and smoking where ur not ment to, well theres odviously a reason for that rule to be in place isn't there.
