Smoking is not Good!

Smoking is not Good!
Many people in the world are smoker. I am the one that like to smoke the cigarette. I smoke it every day, although I know that is not good for my health and another people. It is true that many people like to smoke the cigarette but more than people that smoke the cigarette are don’t like the smoke of it.
Nowadays Smoking is restricted or banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio, and in many magazines. Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker many thousands a year. So how come people are still lighting up? I started to smoke the cigarette since I was 15 years old, until now I smoke it about 4 years. My parents knew that I smoked about 1 year ago. They don’t like me to smoke and tell me every day to stop smoking. Many people asked me, why I have to smoke but I can not tell them the answer because I do not know myself why I have to smoke.
I heard someone said that, Once You Start, It's Hard to Stop. I think it is true because when I want to stop, I feel very upset and then I come back to smoke it again.
People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all. Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal
However, the answer of smoking is not good for every one. You must stop before it hurts you. If you do not care yourself, just try to care someone else, someone that you love and they love you.
