I smoke and I always tell people who ask if they should smoke or not to not start. I like smoking for several different reasons, none of them social reasons, but the problem with smoking is all those reasons are not worth the addiction. The more you smoke the more you want to smoke. You start smoking when you don't really want to because of the physical addiction. I've seen older people hooked up to oxygen tanks, smoking. I'm going to continue smoking but when people ask me that question, the younger people, I always tell them not to start because of the reason I stated above. The main wish I have is that both smokers and non-smokers try to be curtious to each other. Nowadays if non-smokers tell smokers it bothers them, in a polite manner, the smoker will step off to the side out of the way or extingish the cigarette.
