I can't stand smoking. Lots of people at school used to smoke around the back of the PE block at break and lunch, and they'd always stink of it. No matter how much perfume or gum they chewed would stop them from stinking like fags. I don't know what brand they smoked, but it stunck worse than most brands too. My friend has a few a day - maybe one or two. But its still very bad for you, no matter how much you smoke.

My mum and step-dad both smoke. Its... sad that they need to smoke to be relaxed, or in a sociable mood. Yeah, your relaxed and sociable, but is it worth it if you know its going to kill you? Ha, my mum smokes and really shouts at me if I only joke about the idea of me smoking. I don't get it: if its THAT bad, then why do you do it in the first place?

My mums friends mum smokes more than a few packets a day, and... Well. She just looks so tiny, and ill. Smoking has pretty much taken her already - shes been in and out more times than I've had hot dinners in the last few years. She says she doesn't care, which to me is a little selfish - think of all the people you are going to leave and upset. No one wants to die by that kind of choice.
