As a world we can stop smoking
I was once asked a question by a boy whose father smokes. He said, "My father asked, 'you will die, I will die. What difference will it be if I smoke or not?'"
At that time, I responded, "What [paused] is the point of life? Yes. You will die, and I will die. Everyone will die. But what is important is how you live, what you live for. Many people have dreams. Dreams for the future. However, smoking will destroy dreams. Dreams of acting, singing, teaching. All those dreams can be destroyed.
Why be dependent on nicotine? Many teenagers like to be independent from their parents.
Independence. Independence is a word that provides strong feeling. Countries fight, people die, what for? Independence. If people care so much for independence. Then why may I ask, why do people smoke. Those who smoke are enslaved by the tobacco companies, enslaved by nicotine.
This is why today, in my blog, I am talking about the subject of smoking, which has long been part of the culture of the world. As one person, I can not do much, but all of you, as a world we can make a difference. Together we can take control of our lives. Together we can ensure that our dreams will come true. Let us stop smoking.
