Array ( [sid] => 137220 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Smoking [time] => 2007-09-09 12:09:48 [hometext] => umm...just was angry with this friend of mine who smokes like a chimmey....got lung cancer. was mad at him coz he told me he had quit.....but started again....i hate people smoking,im against it. please comment! xo [bodytext] => Smoking is bad
as everyone has learnt
but some people just dont care what goes into them
when the end of the cigarette is burnt

But why do people do it?
Why dont people care?
Why dont they find something else?
something more fair?

Some people have it to realease stress
and some- just for fun
But im telling you whatever the reason may be
it wont help you in the long run

The run in life
you must be strong
also healthy
wise
and pure to live it nice and long

I would say that a smoker
would be very inconciderate
because they dont only harm themselves
they harm the innocent

Its amazing but scary
what a puff can do to you
and that is why i think smoking is stupid
inconciderate and dumb

Who invented this thing?
and did they even think at all?
and why do people sell it somemore in shops
at the mall

I think the best idea
would be to stop making it and to save alot of lives
it would be like takin bullets from a gun
or putting away the knives

They say that it makes them feel happy
or maybe somehow good
But theyve got others in their lives
why is this misunderstood?

Why would anyone want to see their loved one
suffer from such thing?
Why would they wanna see there loved one
earlier in a coffin

I now wish for all people who have read this
to make a pledge. to not smoke at all
because if you do in the long run
well, you may just slip and fall

Lana

If only it was that easy. My Dr. told me it's harder to quit smoking than it is to quit herion.
What your friend needs is luv.
Sure it hurts others but the kulprit is the cigerette companies that intentionally put more nicoten in them to get more people addddicted to them. If they stopped making them there would more than likely be more people die because of the mere fact that they are so addictive and like other drugs, some would do whatever it took to get them.
Good writing and one can see how much you are hurting but try to understand once you are hooked it's not that easy to quit.
Your last paragraph says it all 'cause the best way is to never start.
good work.
huggs,
emy
