I just had my experience with a smoker at the bus stop and at the void deck, which made me come to a point to write this entry about those smokers that are smoking around our environment.

Sometimes, i really wonder why people smoke..

*In my post below, cigratte will be named as the “death stick”. You know why.

Some people smoke for the kick of it, the kind of “glam” that they get out of smoking.

Seriously, stop decieving yourself. No one ever looks cool or glamourous with that death stick in your mouth. It totally looks uncouth. People who praise you with that death stick in your mouth aren’t really friends. They are mere trying to boost your ego into getting you to smoke, which makes you look like a fool whereby it will lead you to the path of destruction.

Some people smoke to destress themselves.

Well, i certainly know of some chaps around that give the excuse of smoking because they feel stress and the the death stick can give them temporal happiness and make them feel high.

People, look long term. The temporal happiness that you are engaging on will cause permanent harm to your own body. Furthermore, there are like a Thousand and One ways in the world to destress yourselves. Like sports, which will benefit both your mind and your body. So why choose smoking?

Some people smoke due to addiction.

In the above two reasons, over hauling with that death stick in your mouth will eventually lead to addiction. According to a research, there are about 600 different types of addictive content in the death stick. These 600 types of content are before the burning of it, when ignited with flame, the 600 will evolve into 4000 different chemical types.

Scenario 1

There are many instances whereby i really dread staying close to smokers. This is especially in the lift. When the no smoking sign seems to look so prevailing in front of the panel of the lift, the smoker still continues to huff and puff his death stick away like no tomorrow.

This is exceptionally annoying as the smoke that is produced fills the whole lift and makes it difficult for the other passengers inside to even gasp a proper breather. I never enter life with smokers, or lifts with smoke still heavily lingering inside. Never! Take the stairs, breathe in fresh air!

Scenario 2

Also, early in the morning. When the air is fresh and the breeze is cool. It really spoils your mood when you sniff a tinge of smoke around you. This is especially so when waiting for bus to school early in the morning.

Although the government has placed a ban on smoking in bus stops. These persistent smokers still continue to smoke just a doorstep away from the bus stop. So whats the big deal about not smoking in bus stops. Air still diffuses. Hence, i always stay away from these bus stops early in the morning, just near enough for me to spot my bus that is approaching.

Scenario 3

Sometimes at home, i can easily sense these smokers approaching. Due to my sensitive nose, i could easily detect these people around. Its irritating to be doing work half way and smell these pollutants from a distance, either at the corridoor or from the window. There is one particular yalam that i have to mention without fail at night where such will happen.

I could say that the people around me don;’t really engage in this activity except for my grandfather and my uncle, which i show dismissal when they put that death stick in their mouth.

Recently, i got to know of a few Primary and Seconday school friends that are already engage in this huff puff activity. The impression that appears in my mind would be a real bad one. Though they might be my friends, now or then. The huff puff activity that they are engaged in would make me want to keep a big distant away from them.

To all smokers: Before you light another death stick of yours. Please think. Think of yourself.

• Do you really want to huff and puff your life through,
• Do you want to suffer the later part of your life while people are enjoying theirs
• Do you want to be a nuisance to the people around you.

Furthermore, the huff puff activity does not only involves yourself. It will be alright if you lock yourself in the room and puff your way till death parts you.

But remember, there are people around you. People whom care for you, love you. Think.

• Do you care for these people around you.
• Do you know that Second Hand Smoke can lead to Lung Cancer.
• Think about your family your parents, why harm them why they have brought you up. Is this the gratitude that you are repaying them.
• STOP BEING SO SELFISH AND SELF-CENTERED!!!

Conclusion: You and I know it deep in our heart, it all depends on you, yourself whether you choose to solve the problem or to let it continue as it is.
