Cigarettes are killers that travels in packs!

I step outside to enjoy the nice cool weather. I go for a little walk with my girls. All you can see all over the ground is nasty cigarettes. Trash! I think it is so rude and disrespect to just throw your cigarettes on the ground. Who wants to see that? Why would you do that? Driving down the high way you see it all the time...What about all the fires that could start and have started! It makes me sick to my stomach. I don't want to be around that. I DON'T WANT TO SMELL IT. FILL MY LUNGS W/IT.
I know it is hard for some one to quite. But to quite or die a painful death. What do you choose.. Why would some one these days start. You know it's bad for you and you know it can kill you and think about the money it cost. So why do young kids still do. Why do they start. In the 2000 why would any one start a habit so dangerous as smoking. I was looking up some facts about cigarettes. How long does it take to get hooked? A September 2000 study showed that one quarter of 11 to 13 year olds who smoke as few as two or three cigarettes a day become addicted in just two weeks. And many of the rest got addicted shortly after that. Once hooked, the average smoker is unable to stop for seventeen years! And every year, they will spend $1200 or more on tobacco products, to maintain their addiction. What could you buy with the money you would save in two years? How about your first car! Over 10 years, you would save $12,000!
