Please berate and warn me of the dangers of smoking. I started smoking to chill out during my senior year and I'm now heading up to 1 pack a day ! My dad's a 1 packer since he was 17 and now he's having whooping coughs. It just makes me sad.

Well first of all smoking is bad for your health. It messes up your teeth, ruins your breath, and slowly deteriorates you lungs. if you look at a smoker's lungs, it's all back with tar and is disgusting. do you know what they put in cigarettes. there are hundreds of different drugs in there. my teacher showed me a list and it was longer than i am tall. smoking makes you lazy. it makes your body work harder to maintain its strenghth.
next smoking really affects people around you, especially people who might look up to you. it can kill children through second hand smoking. my friends have parents that they look up to that smoke. they tell me all the time that they wished they would stop.
but there is a way to get better. your lungs can rejuvinate. it only takes three days for nicotine to get out of your system. and if you have been smoking for 5 years, it takes 5 years for you lungs to heal.

Okay. I am going to answer this as if you are six years old as per your request. (I am also talking as if I know you personally - don't get offended by 'nicknames.')
Honney, smoking is very bad. When you breathe in smoke, you are killing your lungs. You will never be able to play on the basketball team like the older kids do. You have always wanted to be on the team. You don't want to ruin that do you?
You know how your dad caughs right? You don't like that. It makes you sad. That is what smoking does to you. It can kill you. You wouldn't want that to happen.
And you know when you smoke you are killing everyone around you, right? They breathe in your smoke and they can die from it too. You wouldn't want to kill your best friend Bobby, would you? I didn't think so.
So promise me you won't smoke. Okay. I love you too. *hugs* Now go play.

Okay. I am done talking to a six-year-old.
Did you know that in the year 2002, for every 8 people that died of smoking, one died of 2nd hand smoke. The sats on that have probably gone up since then... but let's think about it.
For ever 8 people you know that smoke, one of the ones that don't smoke are going to die from it.
Also, last year: 82% of all smokers thought about quitting. Of that 82%, 67% actually tried to quit. Of that 67%, only 12% succeeded. (The lady from the Truth truck told me this one.)
I think that means if you want to quit, you better start trying now, because it will be difficult. Yeah Willpower!!!
I wish you luck in your quest with sincerest regards.

I have lost two friends to emphysema and my father to cancer of the esophagus.
That means nothing to you, so I'll say this. The gene that controls addiction to ciggies also controls how easily the skin on your face will wrinkle. And wrinkle it will!
Maybe you and your dad can buddy together and kick the habit. It is VERY hard to quit; even harder than heroin.
Best of luck...

Hello there,
You may see elders putting those white sticks in their mouth
and blow smoke out like a chiminy, but infact they are putting themselves on fire and trying to blow it out.
Some time they cannot put out the fire soon enougth so their bodies burn from the inside out.
Not a good feeling.
Then you DIE

Because when your older you will regret smoking now when you're dying of lung cancer. You need to take care of your future self - if you want a future.
