fact is that we can't stop kids or anyone from smoking if that's what they choose to do. I started smoking at 12. Seems to be the average age that kids do start to smoke. Kids start smoking because of peer pressure. they want to be "cool". Sad thing is that you don't realize how uncool it is until you're well hooked and an adult.

Krystal smokes. Could I stop her from smoking? NO! she's going to smoke whether I allow it or not. I can't stop her. Could anyone make me stop smoking? NO! I enjoy having my smoke after I eat or first thing in the morning. I think the only way I would quit is if the doctor told me I had to for poor health reasons. Even then it would be hard to quit because I do enjoy it.

The same thing can be said about alcohol or drugs. Let's face it, most people we know smoke a joint here and there. Those same people don't smoke cigarettes though but did you know that smoking 1 joint is like smoking a lot of cigarettes at once? Alcohol is nasty on your liver but people drink anyways.

Fact is that we're all going to do something that's unhealthy to our bodies out of enjoyment. We know these things are not good for us but we do them anyways. If I want to smoke, I'll smoke and nobody can stop me.
