Dear Smokers,
I have tremendous animosity and strongly dislike the smell a
cigarette gives off. Every time I walk pass a person smoking I take a deep
breath and hold it until I am at least ten feet away from the scent. Smoking
has no logical explanation and reason.
Keeping our environment clean and pollution free is
important and crucial. You may not care or realize it but you are creating
harmful air pollution that damages plants and the clean air around you. You, as
a single person, may not do as much damage but millions of people who are
always smoking adds up and can do a lot of harm to the environment.
You probably spend an average of $6,500 annually on packs of
cigarettes. With $6,500 you can go on vacation twice a year, sign up at a gym
membership for your whole family, or lease a 2015 Lexus RX 350 for a year. However
you choose to spend that money you will still have some money left over.
Littering is the result of laziness and carelessness. When
you finish your cigarette, you just throw it anywhere you please as if you own
the world. I hate walking to my local grocery shop only to find tons of
cigarette butts lying on the sidewalk, streets, and even on my front lawn. If
you are going to smoke, throw it in an ashtray.
Smoking can cause many health risks and increase your chance
of coronary heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. The people around you
inhale the harmful air you cause from your cigarette and secondhand smoke. These
people take in the same harmful toxics as you. If you are still unconcerned about
your heath, have the courtesy of others in mind and do not smoke near
non-smokers.
Quitting the lousy habit all together, at once, may be very
hard. You should start reducing your intake from cigarettes, to cigarette packs,
and eventually stop all together. You will realize the benefits from quitting
to smoke outweigh the benefits from continuing. I am telling you this because I
care and hopefully you will heed my advice.
Respectfully,
