I usually never smoke, just a cigar once in a while. But since I'm in the examination period and have a lot of stress, I started smoking cigarettes. And not just a few, but a lot! Please tell me how bad it is so I have a reason to quit it.
The evidence is irrefutable - smoking will negatively affect your body and will hasten or even cause your death. Period.
Do the simple arithmatic. $5.00 x 365 = $1,825. Before taxes, you'd have to earn $2,300. So just by not smoking, you get a $200 month raise.
Any one who smokes is just plain stupid. (said unapologetically)
You'll also have lots more money.
