Be A Good Model

     I don't understand why the government place a warning outside the cigarette packaging the " smoking is dangerous to your health" but letting some retailer to sell such.  It is a very weird thing to see. People keep on putting some sign of encouragement or warning but not putting it into practice. 

     I wonder what they could get in smoking? Some says, they can't live without it. When they were young god did not put cigarette like a basic need to have. It is just in the mind of people why they got addicted to such things. I know that they could stop smoking if they want, but they decided not to because they felt cool while they are smoking. My brother said because he is one of them. It is more manly to smoke . It gives him more confidence to get a long with there friend and to make him feel stronger than before. SO WEIRD. 

     In order to get rid of cigarette addiction or to lessen the addiction in this country, the government should have a move by not selling cigarette. This would become a big protest from some smokers, but it is for their own good and for the environment also. cigarette smoking has also a big part why we got a very bad air pollution. So by stopping cigarette smoking , it will help the health of each persons, the environment and the society.

     According to wikipedia, Cigarettes carry serious health risks, which are more prevalent than in other tobacco products. Nicotine, the primary psychoactive chemical in tobacco and therefore cigarettes, is addictive. About half of cigarette smokers die of tobacco-related disease and lose on average 14 years of life. Cigarette use by pregnant women has also been shown to cause birth defects, including low birth weight, fetal abnormalities, and premature birth. Second-hand smoke from cigarettes has been shown to be injurious to bystanders,which has led to legislation that has prohibited smoking in many workplaces and public areas. Cigarettes are a frequent source of fires leading to loss of lives in private homes, which has prompted the European Union and the United States to ban cigarettes that are not fire standard compliant by 2011.

     I am really concern to all smokers especially to my brother by keep on smoking despite such symptoms. I know it's not the end. We still have hope. I believe that change begins in each of us. We should start a change to everyone by being the a leader and good model to everybody.
