smoking




Smoking i think is a par of being bad becawe know know what damage it can cause to us. in the 1930's it was seen as accetable since it was seen as cool then and was the in thing to do. the same can be said of know many kids think its cool to smoke but as they get older they seem to see it as a relase maechinism for them it relives the bordom for them ie my brother he is smokes but he just says its a relase from his stress when i say its going to kill him he just doesnt seem to be bothterd becuse he thinks he is going to live forever but he is not i try to tell himit kills you quicker but he wont listen. smoking to me is an expensive habit that you could rather spend your spare money on other things ie bills or other things you may need in life but each to there own i also lernt in the lecture that smoking is a in a sense a sexual thing to seduce for example in old movies when two people light up a cigarette then they drop the cigarette then the camera focouse,s on the cigrattes which reprsents the two people having sex. Also the way smokiong is genderfied it has two sides the women is looked at by smoking in a sexual way while a man smokes it would be looked as he is reliving stress of his life and him looking cool and to atrract a lady so smoking can also hide you for example a viel of smoke it can hide what your really sying because the cigartee is betwenn you ond the person your trying to talk to so smoking i say it is up to owns choice if they want to smoke.
a link to a anti tobaco site if you chose to look at it and wish to quit smoking.
