My opinion about smoking is, I think it should be illegal. So many people die each year because of lung cancer, and second hand smoke. Smoking has always grossed me out. There has been times that a few of my old friends would try to convince me that it was fun and calmed you down. Smoking causes yellow teeth and also bad breath.

Although people may think that it calms you down, I highly disagree. I have once tried it under peer pressure and I know for a fact that I will never try it again. I grew up learning that smoking is bad for you, and that`s how I will always remember it. I will never again pick up a cigarette.
