Smokers

Last year was walking with my friends, we came across a group of guys smoking cigarettes. They offered us cigarettes saying that it is good and addictive. Yes, we already know that it is addictive but saying that it is good? I don't think so. We manage to get away from the smokers but the smell of the cigar smoke is still stuck a my nose. When I was about 6 years old, I had a history of tuberculosis. Everyday of my life at that time was hard. I was coughing every time. Why do people smoke anyways knowing that it doesn't do any good to them? Do they really like flirting with death? Do they think that it makes them cool? There really has to be a reason why "adults" go to the store buy a pack of cigarettes, extract one and lit it up. Speaking of smoking: It takes 4 years to make a full recovery when your addicted to smoking. In that 4 years, you will be in and out of the hospital. Taking x-rays of your lungs and making sure that you're not smoking anymore. In the process of trying to make a recovery from smoking you will be struggling not to smoke the "stick of death" that you're addicted to. Smoking is absolutley pointless and doesn't do anything to you. The government should just ban smoking because it doesn't only affects the user,it affects everyone around him/her too.
