11- NO SMOKING

"APC's anti-smoking campaign (Are you a smoker or not)"  

"Are you a smoker or not?" Of course, no! That's why I'll support the campaign of our school (Asia Pacific College's anti-smoking campaign). And I'll tell you what and why.

Smoking is a practice in which a substance is blazed and the subsequent smoke took into be tasted and ingested into the circulation system. Meaning it is really harmful to our body. But even if it's still harmful to our body, why do some people still continuing to smoke? Pretty ironic isn't it?

Back in 1000 BC, people (Mayans to be exact) used tobacco leaves in smoking and chewing also. They used this for shamanistic and medical purposes. Nowadays, smoking is used for pastime, for movies, and also for making themselves cooler. This is how great the smoking had influenced us.

According to what I've observed in my surroundings, it's not only the people who are in danger but also the nature. Because according to research, smoking affects the environment the most, resulting into air, water and land pollution. And did you know that because of excessive use of cigarettes, many trees are being cut down. In an hour, cigarette producing unit requires right around 4 miles of paper for moving and bundling of the cigarettes. Just to deliver 300 cigarettes, one tree is being lavished for the production of the cigarettes as well as the chemical wastes from the manufacturing unit is likewise dumped into dirt. Subsequently, it is clear that the cigarettes are in total adding huge strain on the body and also to the environment.

Really, smoking is up to no good. They make people's health be weak, destroys the environment and yet others still continued smoking. Ugh! I feel like I want to be on beast mode right now!! How heartless are those people who don't even care about the environment and for their health also. The Philippines had implemented that the liquor and cigarettes will be much expensive but still many people (even those whose moneys are at stake) kept on buying just for the sake of their own satisfaction.


If only the people will stop smoking and drinking, I wonder how great our world will be. But I know that, stopping the smoking habits is really hard, because your used to it. My father told me so, because he experienced how hard to stop smoking. Because it's pretty normal now for him to get cigarettes every time, and for him it's part of his daily time. Just like us teens, we can't complete the day without surfing the net, play games, or login to Facebook. But then, in all those hardships that he have encountered, he managed to stop smoking for the sake of his health, and we are really happy for him. It's really a big achievement not just for him but also for us.

What I meant is, it's not too late to stop smoking. And if you really have a HEART then, you should realized by now how worse can the smoking do. Stop smoking when you still have a chance, don't wait for a disease to come because you'll regret it sooner or later. But then, if you cannot really stop yourself then don't just smoke daily, smoke once a week or twice a month... just don't smoke daily and I think you'll be okay.
