SMOKING IS COOL?

Smoking has become a new phenomenon among students.Smoking is now a common acturly among students in primary and secondary schools.Shops and stalls are now crowded with these smokers especially after  school.How can this happen?and more importantly why?The answer that we seek lies within the smokers themselves.We use one smoker as our example.
   After school,a young male teenager is seen walking into restaurant near a school.He sit down on a chairs and orders a drink.He take a sip of his drink and waits for his friend to join him.This is when his usual activity starts.He reaches a deep into his pocket and take out a red box.He takes a single cigaratte from he box and places it between his lips,lights it and takes one draw ofter another.
  So,is he cool?Does he look cool?Does he know that for every draw from the cigarette he inhales about 4000 different,identifiable chemical agents?43 of these chemicals agents are identified as cancer causing  agents know as carcinogen.Well,actually every draw that he takes increases  his chances for cancer and decreases his life.Do you think that's cool?
 Many of today smokers are influenced by their friends.They have been told that smoking makes them look sophisticated.Smoking not only cause addiction but also other side effects.Some of these are bad coughs and shortage of breath.These are identified as symptoms of emphysema.This is a condition where the lining of the walls of the lung become thin and subsequently looses its power to expel.
 Things does not stop here.Smoking causes a yellowish tinge to appear on the skin.Elastic and collagen formation decreases and finally comes lung cancer.So what are you waiting for?If your value your life and the lives around you.Say 'no' to cigarettes.Dare to quit.Today!!!Better still don't even start
