Smoking
kills. Yup, I said it, smoking kills. Every hit you take takes minutes from
your life span. But does that knowledge ever stop people from smoking? The answer
is a big fat no. They only ever care about their health when it’s noticeably degrading.
Constant coughing, high fevers, frequent trips to the doctors’, the list goes
on and on. As the say saying goes “regret only shows through in the end”. And
why might you ask am I blogging about this topic??? Simple. Because my
professor told me to. I am apparently supposed to talk about the “anti-smoking
campaign” of my college, which I think is complete and utter BS (I’m keeping it
PG here guys, so that means no swearing). Sure they advertise that people
should stop smoking, they even have tarpaulins here and there. But they don’t ever
really do anything about it, heck! Even the faculty smokes within school
vicinity (the parking lot is pretty hard not to miss guys). So reader, tell me
this, how are we actually going to believe that there is an anti-smoking campaign?
Us students? When even the schools’ faculty ignore the said campaign. I mean
whatever right???
People constantly berate us smokers,
saying that we should stop, we’re taking days out of our lives. But what if
that was our intention? Each and every one of us has their own demons to face,
each of us faces them differently. Smoking for me is my demon repellant. Some of
you might understand, many of you won’t. To those readers who do it for the
same reason, I ask you, will we ever stop running away from our problems? We
will ever stop cowering in fear? Are we gonna live?
With that, I end this blog. Sorry
for this sorry excuse of a blog. It is completely unedited, so will be the rest
of the blogs that I will post. I’m doing this in one sitting so I won’t fail my
subject.
