This is really good! I know so many people that suck on cancer sticks so much they look like trains! its anoying to see little kids smoking thinking they are cool because smoking becomes their habbit. When they get older and have kids the kids are the ones who pay for that habbit on a short run because many kids get asthmua for this reason and the smokers dont get any problems smoking until after a long time. I wish all my uncles could read something like this to stop smoking. good job!
