Puffing Away

 


Why do people smoke?

It is scientifically proven that it will cause your life.

Then why do people still tempted to smoke in Singapore?

We are not in Third World country, where 80% of us didn't go to school and don't know how will tar, nicotine or tobacco kill off our internal organs.

But people still smoke.

I understand that once addicted, it's very hard to turn away from smoking. (That's what makes it so dangerous in the first place.)

But when I think of the money spent (Wah lau eh, cigarettes are so expensive), how they are polluting the air (This is also scientifically proven), I think it's not worth it.

With so many bans in place (No smoking in air-coned premises, some pubs, bus interchanges, natural parks, just to name a few.), many smokers may feel that they are being discriminated.

I have smoker friends too, but I hope they will stop smoking one day.

They will definitely feel good.
