Smoking


Smoking is a big factor which i think everyone has an opinion on. On the cigarette packet, there is a message that say "smoking kills" so smokers are aware of this. It is then their choice whether they choose to smoke as it clearly states that it can kill. Smokers like everyone else knows that by smoking you are taking a risk because it is a risk that smoking may cause cancer. However you also take risks everyday as you never really know what is going to happen.
This site is mainly for teeenages providing them with the consequences of smoking. However it can be suitable for anyone. Although the site discusses health problems with smoking, individuals have the choice to read the advice and take it into consideration or choose to ignore it.

Smoking is a really difficult subject to reach a happy medium. I am an ex-smoker, but possibly only due to the fact I got pregnant and had an incentive! On a personal level I hate the smell of smoke now and can't abide it when people stand right by the doors of buildings so you have a cloud of smoke to walk through.
I have no problems with people smoking if that is what they wish to do, but a little discretion would be nice, especially when small children are about!

The smoke free ban for public places I thought was a really stupid idea, why not just create smoking rooms? Now there is a mass population of smokers wandering around outside, instead of using filter systems to purify the air, the air is becoming polluted anyway!!!

Your blog says something along the same line, it is becoming another one of those subjects, but I feel this has more to do with the health implications to passive smokers, who are supposedly diagnosed with cancer due to second hand smoke. My question is do we really know what causes cancer?
