Smoking Kills!

Cigarettes, smoke,, a clouded room sounds like a scene straight from a gangster movie maybe a 70's or an early 80's one, back then smoking was considered to be Cool with a capital "C", well maybe even today some people find it cool, but the truth of the matter is smoking Kills, thats with a capital "K", cigarette companies in Canada are being forced to put graphic pictures on every pack , some depict lungs, totally f@@@ up some,little kids with captions like "Dont poison us", are these actually working?, why do people smoke, i have had people give me reasons from, "cigs are a stress reliever man" to,"oh once in a while, when i am drinking, there's the urge to puff on something", and i have talked to people who are living with one foot in the grave to young kids who hang out, outside supermakrets, always on the look out for smokers who they can bum a cig off, these look like the same kids on the cig packs, the ones that say "dont poison us", apparently to them its Kool thats with a "K".Statistically speaking, smoking does cause a number of deaths, if not from the Tar or all the CO that is inhaled, then from starvation, the price of cigarettes are going up by the day and smokers rather would starve to death than give up smoking, as it is smoking kills your appetite, which is why diet conscious young women take up smoking, after all the have to maintain that figure!!!!!. Well altelast people in western countries are realising the fact that the cigarette does have some side effects, like maybe death!! but in many countries its a part of life, like this one example that comes to mind immediately, i was travelling with a good friend of mine, and we landed at this airport in a middle-eastern country and since neither of us spoke arabic and there were no signs in english for a smoking lounge and my good friend was desperately craving a cig we decided to ask a friendly security guard, but then he had no idea what we were talking about, so my friend pulls out a cig and imitates the puffiing action, and then the man lights up and he is like,ooo cigggaretttte, and we are like ya ya, so next thing he does is pull one out of his pocket and lights its up and starts smoking and goes, good cig, marlboro the best!!!! we get the point!,
Anyway, that was long blog, will write again later, time to go out for a smoke!!!!!
