Smoking cigarettes is a disgusting habit that too many people have. It does no good for yourself or anyone around you, they don't make you look cool and they make you smell disgusting. As a kid you get pressured into by your friends and if they respect you, once you say no, they'll stop. As an adult it's your own choice, no one to tell you to do it. It's easier to not even try it then to start smoking and stop.
