SMOKING: Quit, and live longer

| April 21, 2013 9:00 PM

Do you want to live? Do you want to keep your lungs? Do you want to live for a hundred years to see what your kids turn out to be? If your answer is “yes,” then don’t smoke! Here are three reasons why:

1. Smoking takes a day off your life each time, because it’s very, very bad for you. What’s in it? Also because it’s drugs.

2. Smoking can kill you, because if you take it every day it counts as drugs. It can stop your heart. Also it can make you go crazy and kill yourself.

3. Smoking can close your lungs up, because it can make your lungs black. The smoke that’s on it can close your lungs. It’s also very, very bad for you.

If you follow my advice you will live. You will keep your lungs and you will live for a hundred years to see what your kids will turn out to be. If you want this to happen, then don’t smoke!
