What a wonderful world?

I see trees are green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you. And I say to myself what a wonderful world. But wait, why are there smokers? They harm the wonderful world.

Smoking has been a problem of every country since it was first made. It harms the environment, it harms ourselves, and it harms the people around you.

When you look at a pack of cigarettes, you can see warning messages that says, "Government Warning: Cigarette Smoking is dangerous to your health" or "Government Warning: Tobacco may harm your children". These messages are made to warn the public about the danger of smoking. But does it really warn us? Is there still a sidewalk or alley where absolutely no one is smoking?

Even underage children are smoking nowadays. You can see them walking on the streets with smoke coming out of their faces. Don't you think we should help stop this? Because if underage smokers multiply, lots of people will die because of lung cancer and other diseases caused by pollution or smoking.

So, do you want to join the dark side and smoke? Or join the good side and help stop this vice that's killing people one by one? The fate of the environment is in the palm of your hands.

matamaan kung sino man ang matatamaan. to the young smokers out there, stop early. dont risk a perfectly good set of lungs just for a bit of relaxation. dont risk your life on a cheap piece of stick. what benefits can you get from a filthy piece of stick?

nasasayo naman iyon kung magpapaimpluwensya ka sa kanila o hindi. At nasa kanila na iyon kung titigil sila manigarilyo o hindi. Mahirap din kasi itigil un kung cnimulan mo na. sariling Disiplina na tsaka self-control ang dapat pairalin dyan.

To smoke or not to smoke? That is the question. And the answer? Depends on you.

One can not influence the other to start or stop smoking, it is never an influence, it is always a choice.

All your actions have its own consequences. You do what you want to do, just be responsible for it.

Smoking may be good or bad for you. It depends on how you want to understand it.

The young smokers should seriously stop smoking. It's a bad habit hard to stop and it also causes pollution.

why do people smoke anyway? it really does not help. Can it really releive stress? Even if it does, would you rather choose a shorter life than not to smoke? besides, there are plenty of ways to release stress. Smoking is just one bad way of doing it. ingat ingat na lang. :D

smoking is realy bad for the health. A re;ative of mine died due to heavy smoking. Do not put your lives in peril, stop smoking now.

Smoking is really really bad!! It not only affects our environment but it also increases the risks of lung cancers.. But I think some people are not aware of this or are ignoring this simple fact which could actually cost their lives.. I think the "government warning" in the packs of cigarettes is not really effective.. warning the public is not enough or won't convince the smokers to stop smoking.. For me, it will be good if they impose a bill or a law that will ban smoking especially for the minors.. I think it would be reasonable if such law would be implemented, i mean it's for everybody's good naman e, and besides, what are the bad points??

People should realize the fact that this vice is not good.. People should be educated of the negative effects that smoking could have on them.

I agree with thelittleexplorer. Discipline and SELF-CONTROL is the key. :)

I agree with thelittlemermaid, Smoking depends on your choice and your choice alone. One cannot influence someone to stop nor to start smoking. It is only he/she that can choose whether or not to smoke or not to smoke. Our decisions has consequences. We must remember to be responsible of our decisions.

i agree with you all :)

dapat kasi hindi pinapayagan ang pagbebenta ng mga sigarilyo kung saan-saan..kung gugustuhin naman ng gobyerno, pwede nilang ipagbawal ang pagbebenta o pagproprodyus..pwede din namang patawan nila ng mas malaking vat ang mga sigarilyo..makakaisip sila ng solusyon kung talagang mabuting kapakanan ng nakararami ang hangad nila..

maisip din sana ng mga naninigarilyo na hindi lang sila ang naaapektuhan ng paninigarilyo nila kundi mas naaapektuhan ang iba, 2nd hand smoke kung tawagin..

xtine said...

Ang alam ko kasi, kaya hindi mapatigil ng gobyerno ang mga producer at distributor ng sigarilyo ay dahil malaki ang kita nito kaya malaki din ang tax na binibigay nito sa gobyerno. Kaya yun, nabulag na ang gobyerno sa pera.

Smoking itself can not be bad since its started by him/herself

but the thing is there should be a place for smoking so that the two groups(smoker, non-smoker) can be divided not to harm each other.

though it does not consider the health of smoker....but it was his choice.

adoboys said...

tama ka, pero yun nga kumikita ng malaki ang gobyerno dito kaya parang patas lang ang labas. parang its your choice lang talaga kung ikay hihithit ng 'stik ng kadiliman' o kayay manatili sa pwersa ng kabutihan

I have no plan of smoking because I'm already aware that it is bad for my health and could endanger my life. I know a lot of people who smoke mostly under aged and when i asked them why they smoke, they reply that it relaxes them and satisfies them even if they are also aware of the bad effect it could bring. But how could we help smokers if they couldn't even stop and help themselves?..

it is in the discipline of the person whether or not he/she smokes. maybe those over 18 know the effects of smoking. but how about the kids? it's the parents job to tell the child the effects.

O~* bomb ako. said...

smoking = bad. no. no. don't smoke, kids. its bad. don't immitate your smoker idol. its bad for your health. big healthy lungs will break down. you won't like that when it happens. stop now. you can do it. stop.. XD

smoking, for some people, is impossible to stop, we might not be able to make them stop, but atleast for those smokers, have the concern and self-discipline to not influence others to smoke with you, or damage the others by smoking around them and making them suffer.
Thats all.

Eujin said...

of course the smoking is not good for the smoker and the people who is surrounding smoker.
Secondhand smoking is a big health hazard.

I usually see the people who is smoking on the street when they are walking.

I want to ask if the people know how the people at the back of him/her feel like.

I do not know how the smoker feel during they are smoking but for those who do not smoke, it is really terrible!

And for the young smoker, I really want them not to smoke.

In Korea, selling of cigarette is strictly prohibited for the people younger than 19 years old.

thelittleredridinghood said...

Evidently, more and more teenagers smoke. I, myself, am a witness to this. I see them everywhere, almost everyday.

I just don't get why they, or even old people, smoke. Not only do they harm themselves, but the people surrounding them as well. If they want to live a longer life, they should stop smoking. If they don't want to stop, then let them suffer the consequences. Every action has its own consequence. :)

I think smokers should just quit smoking. They can do it if they really want to.
