SMOKING

My late grandfather smoked and he lived up to 92. So, is smoking bad for him? Well, my answer is - he was fortunate. He did not suffer any cancer. Let us not deny or ignore the fact that lung cancer is usually caused by smoking.

I asked my students: Why smoke? What do you get out of smoking? The common answer is that smoking helps one to distress. True? Is that the only way to distress?

What about going for a jog or have a 'teh tarik' chit-chat with friends?

Choose the way you want to live. You have the power to choose.

Why smoke? To show off? To be accepted by your peers? Think for yourself.

I don't smoke. Do you?
