Hello. I am Japanese. I don�t like smoking. I think smoking is bad for our health.　However some people like smoking and never stop it. I think the government should raise the tax on the cigarettes. If they really need it, they buy it even if it is expensive. I don�t know why people like smoking.

The government of Canada has launched a program for people who wants to quit smoking. The website for it is: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hecs-sesc/tobacco/

It is a really good website as you can sign up to the website, and it basically e-mails you for a period of 8 weeks with messages of encouragement, and guidance in order to help the smoker quit.
It is also a very beneficial page as it offers a lot of facts and links to additional information regarding smoking.

Give it a try, you have nothing to lose except for the health of your father, and those who are around him. Good luck.

Also if I may add, taking additional drugs to solving a health problem isn't always the best choice. Like medication, or even smoking patches that are supposed to stop you from smoking basically work as if you are smoking, but in a smaller amount of nicotine absorbed by the body in which, you would have consumed from an ordinary cigarette.

I think smoking do nothing good to us! Many teenagers around us smoke, this phoenomenon becomes more and more common. Many of them think that smoking is a sign of maturity, but I think it only shows their stupidity to people!

Nowadays, there are many bad things in Thai society such as alcohol, drugs, betting etc. Cigarette is one of bad things which can lead Thai students into bad ways. So this essay is written in order to give some advice to avoid smoking. I don�t agree with smoking of students because it is bad for three reasons. First, smoking is bad for health. Smoking has many bad effects with your health. It can make you tired easier. If you smoke a lot, you�ll be cancer. Second, Smoking is cause of problems about education. If you stop smoke, you�ll feel angry and then you can�t pay attention for study. But, if you smoke too much, you�ll sick. So you can�t go to study. You�ll be retried if you smoke in school because it means that you break the law. Finally, Smoking is cause of social problems. It is cause of more drugs. And it is cause of stealing to buy cigarettes. People who stay with smoker will be cancer. In conclusion, smoking of students is cause of bad health, bad grade and social problems. And smoking is dangerous for people who stay near you. So, I think, you should have stopped smoking. What do you think about smoking of students?

Smoking

In the present, there many people around the world, who are smoking. There no age range of the smokers even people who are studying and earn no money. The smokers do not care about effect to society.
In my opinion, smoking has many disadvantage or we can say that there no advantages.
So, we should control the smoking habit to reduce the smokers because smoking has 2 disadvantages as follow.
First, disadvantage to smokers and other. From the result of professional doctor, there 30% of cancer patient used to smoke and women who are smoked will have a chance to be cancer more than women whom don�t smoke about 2 time. Smoking will decrease your sex ability and waste money for buy cigarette also. Nowadays, Thailand gets money from selling cigarette 17,000 million baths per year and smoking has effect to baby in women. By baby there mother smoke while pregnant will have lower I.Q. than the babies who there mother do not smoke. Smoking makes you look bad and makes your teeth turn black.
The other, disadvantage takes to the society and environment. Do you know smoke from cigarette is disadvantage to human and kill the environment too. Because it has CO gas which is destroyed ozone. The bottoms of the cigarette are trash and no one throw it in the right place.
In Thailand, we paid for the long cancer patient for about 4000 million baths per year.
In conclusion, smoking has many disadvantages to smokers, surroundings, society, country, and environment. And there no deal with serious stop smoking request. So, we should stop selling cigarette or control the quantity and raise the price of cigarette to reduce the smokers.
What do you think about smoking?
