The smokecist in me is back :/

Health, is perfect (to most) in the beginning... You just need to maintain your body and feed it with the nutrients it needs, before it becomes a wreck... Let's say for example a car who was wrecked because of an accident. How much does it cost to repair? Much more! Same as our bodies, if you get sick let's say a lung cancer perhaps... you have done all of the smoking in the world thinking you would not get sick... Then in the end, your lungs were a total wreck... now, expensive is it... right? However, if you just refrain from smoking, it would not cost a cent! Now what are all of the "government warning on smoking?" People pretend to be blind to see it :/ Is smoking that such a good feeling that you are willing to risk that someday you might have cancer? Actually you would be guaranteed to have filthy lungs! Now, you wanna wreck your body just like that? Let's just say, you have all the money in the world. You smoke and you can afford to pay hospital bills when you get ill because of that... are you also willing to feel the pain? and the process of healing you??? I have seen a lot of House M.D. episodes and thought most lives can be saved, but some organs would technically have been half damaged already...
Sigh sigh sigh...

Also, think of the ones who love you... My father died of lung cancer because he was a super duper chain smoker... Too bad I only had to spend 3 years of my childhood with him... I don't even have a solid memory of him. The only memory I had of him was in a dream... :( Think twice before you smoke now... If you want to live longer and see your kids grow, stop now :( minimize... then quit...

I think the biggest challenge to smokers quitting is the peer pressure still. Your collegues or friends might drop by your work area and say "Yosi tayo." Then you're like.. ok... In parties, where your friends are all smoking, you would still feel odd or left out that you don't smoke... so instead of quitting, the temptation to puff is even so much greater...

I don't believe it's a hard thing to do... I started to smoke once... then I quit after 2 months... I never really liked it... I just did it because I was depressed, upset and peer pressure... but it never really did me good... While I was quitting, that was the biggest challenge for me... like people asking me "yosi tayo" or offering me "yosi" when we're hanging out with drinks... But I was firmly saying "no"... It wasn't that hard...


With smoking, I am done now...

P.S. If in heaven, they still read blogs, will my father read this?
