A cigarette is harmful to the body. However, my father and friends are smoking the cigarettes. Since I'm anxious about their body, I think that I want them to stop it. Please tell me the method of prohibition of smoking.

I live in Spain where these images are being used time to time as advertising campaig by the goverments. Tabacco publicity are being banned from differents sports. It has been levied with the higher tax than other products. Company which sell tobacco must put a label on all boxes. In that you can read messages like "tobacco Kill you" "smoking prodices Cancer". It is being paid the treatment for giving up smoking. But as I can see the result are not the better which it will be desirable. I gave up smoking a long time ago and I think that it has been the best decision that I did.

Smoking is an addiction. It is like watching TV, surfing, eating sweets... only worse. I know a lot of people saying, everyone, who's smoking was stupid. This would be to easy. I know some people, who are really not stupid and smoke. Of course they know better, but it is really hard to escape from an addiction. Have you ever tried to stop eating sweets? Have you ever tried to stop watching TV and stop surfing? If you have done so, you have a small clue, what it is like stopping your cigarette-consumption.

it is really hard to stop smoking.
but if you can give your father courage and always tell him the danger of smoking, i think you and your father must succeed in giving up it.

I think that smoking during walking is very bad, too.
The heat of top fire is about 800�C. Sometimes walking man or woman's arm that has cigarette is dangling. So a cigarette is low position. If a child walks near by him or her, a cigarette may touch child's face. It is very terrible thing.
Sometimes a person says to a smoking people, "This is a no-smoking zone." Noticing is good thing. But sometimes a smoking people storm at a person who notices a smoking person. I think that people who are nervous about smoking people are increasing. Smokes from cigarette are worse than smokes that are inhaled. Nonsmokers or passive smokers are angry about smokers. Especially, passive smokers have high risks of dying from lung cancer, etc.
I go to the university but some students smoke cigarette outside. For movement, I walk outside but I dislike smoking students and smokes.
Smoking is worse than useless but why people want to smoke cigarette? I cannot understand.

I often see young people who smoke at some location. Maybe they are minority.And they dumped cigarette without scruple, so they have no manner. I think they don't have the qualification to smoke. In addition they don't keep the law, so they should keep the smoking manner.

Sad Idon't know a method, or something that you can do for your parents and friends, to leave the cigarettes or for to leave of smoking. I think the first for to leave of smoking is that the person want. I know a many persons that are trying to leave the cigarette but they can't. however I know some people that yes can, I think that is necesary to have willpower and the wish for to leave.
I think that smoking is bad for to healthy, you can have lung cancer and this can go to the death, you can find a many reports of this and many research it.
Try that your family and friends to be aware of the dangerous of the smoking.

I think that smoking isn�t good even one thing. Do you know? A cigarette has nicotine. It�s a habit-forming drug (When your body receives it, your body will need must it and it destroys your healthily). You can have cancer and it making you goes to the death. I know some people need it; watching TV and etc. They can�t stop smoking. But I have a method to break it. Through, you mustn�t come near it. You should exercise everyday. I hope that you will break it.

Hello! My name is Yoshihiro. I�m from Japan. I agree with everyone! I hate smoking and I can not understand smoker. Smoker shorten own life by it. They ought to know it. Also, some of them are bad-mannered. They smoke in non smoking are or over walking. Cause act trouble people. So I think smokers like this hasn�t right of smoking. Although giving up smoking is not easy, I wish smoker decrease and everyone are in good health. I have smoker friend. So I want to persuade him too quick.
