smoking is not at all good. well that is what i think i am saying this coz i am the person who smokes 20 stick a day. i am trying to quite but tell you quite frankly ppl i havent yet found ne strong reason to quite my freinds say what strong reason do i need that is not good for my health but there has to be some else something better some more tempting for me to leave. ppl let me tell u if u cant leave cigratte but there are plenty of counter measure to take to minimize the effect of the tar n nicotine n other 400 chemical that we take when we are smoking i think this is one subject where i can have a hell of discussion coz i have been smoking all this time n i have read all the ill effect of somking n also the measures to counter it i have even seen the ppl suffering frm cancer in the hospital tell you ppl frm my personal experience it is very scary to see those ppl suffering frm cancer which is causd due to smoking when i saw those ppl i didnt touched my stick for abt a week but once again i am on with it and some where down the line richard123 is correct in her way.
