Smoking
| I like smoking. I don’t think that smoking is as nearly as dangerous as some people claim. There is a big publicity campaign going on right now against smoking, and I think everyone is just getting too carried away about the whole thing. Many of my friends smoke, and none of them have a serious cough or Cancer or anything. I have met some very old people, like war veterans, who have smoked all their lives, and they’re still alive. I believe people should live by common sense. Like if you eat too much candy you will get sick, and then you will stop, and you probably won’t eat that kind of candy any more. I think that when you have had enough smoking, you will just quit. Your body will tell you when you’ve had enough. Look at all the interesting people who smoke! In fact most of the interesting people at a party are the ones who smoke. I’ve heard or read somewhere that nicotine increases your brain activity or something. Smoking also gives you something to do with your hands, and it’s also an excuse to take a break, to stand and talk to someone, or to break the ice and start a conversation with a stranger. I enjoy smoking. |
