“I Love You, But I Love Cigarettes More... See You Next Life!”

Whenever I smoke, you say "I hate when you do"

I say I can't help it cos it's nicotine I'm addicted to

I smoke but it doesn't mean I don't love you

You say I will die, yes darling I will, but after you!!"

People seldom talk about health when they are healthy. We may sometimes eat too much junk foods, consume high-sugar drinks and seldom exercise. People with this unhealthy lifestyle will pay for it sooner or later. Even some people who think they eat healthy, eat vitamins and exercise, still suffer from some illness sooner or later in their lives. Sure, it's scary when it makes you feel there's nothing you could do to avoid from getting sick. But life is for everybody, illness is not. But if you smoke, you only conform that illnesses are yours, because you also eat and drink all the junks the non-smokers consume. So what is left to be healthy in you? N.O.N.E.

It's clear to see that smokers don't care any less about what the deadly smokes do to their body every puff they take. And for that reason, they are categorized in this first group of people who don't love themselves, admit it or not. Then, there is another group of people who are full of affections when it comes to their loved ones. These loved ones usually are the ones revolve around us. You chat with them, you eat with them, you watch movies with them, even, they are the people you speak often of your future hopes and share passionate feelings. These are the people you cry and laugh with, the faces that you won't want to miss seeing everyday. And because of the strong bond, you grow to love these people more than you can imagine. Isn't it sweet to have such affections towards your loved ones? Surprisingly, smokers could also be among those with such affections.

How do you thank your loved ones? Serving them every puff of second-hand smoke as you spend time with them? And provided that you're not a genius but certainly not stupid, you should know that second-hand smokers are in greater danger than the smokers themselves, yes and you dare to deny when I call you a self-centered and selfish person? Do you know when someone ask you to quit smoking, the person doesn't ask you to do a favour for yourself, but for your loved ones. Because if you love yourself which you don't, you should already quit smoking or at least undergoing a recovery process by now. If you think smoking makes you feel the great person you are, ya know... with all the excuses each of you give why you guys smoke in the first place, think for a second if that worth losing your parents, your siblings, your spouse, your lover or your kids just because you find pleasure with smoking. You don't mind having polluted and impaired lungs, but how unfair when you get to visit them first in the hospital bed, when it's already too late to beg to God that it's you who should be lying in that very bed.

How I pity especially the newborn babies born whose parent(s) are smokers, being so pure and clean from everything, having to endure the unhealthy air in their small lungs; when they are too small to avoid anything to happen to them. They couldn't say "Daddy, please stop smoking and let me grow up healthy" because it's not them who have all the ability to think as grown-ups, and the power to do what they think is right. It's not them, it's you. The decision to carry on smoking and see your loved ones suffer one day is certainly in your palm. Smoking can make you richer? Make you have more friends? Make you more loveable? Make you "smell" better? Improve your looks maybe? If the answers are all negative, then think again if it's okay to spend another year living as the time bomb in your family. One scary question to smokers: Have you killed anyone yet with your deadly smokes? You won't know, cos you never care.
