I do not smoke and i never have in my entire life. What is very common is for people mainly teens to start smoking because their friends do it and they feel pressured. I think that people who smoke cigarettes are not bad people but I personally would never do it. I understand that people have a lot of stress so they need the cigarettes but people who do it for no reason to just fit in is stupid to me. If you have to change who you are to fit in with people that you are surrounded with, I believe that those people are not your real friends because if they were than they would want to look out for you because they know how bad it is and how addictive it is with the nicotine it contains.
With cigarettes even though they are not as bad as other drugs, they are still one of the leading causes of death in the united states. It can cause lung cancer which is very common among smokers of an older age. What you do now can affect you for a long time after you stop smoking, not everyone is a victim of these symptoms but the chances of t happening to you is extremely greater than someone who never picks up a cigarette.
