A Non-smoker Statement

Everyday, we communicate with other people. We live with others. We suppose to respect to each others. This should be a very basic rule among human being. But there are a lot of people who don't have the word of respect in their mind at all. They are smokers. Did you ever meet somebody who you don't know, come to you and ask for your permission to smoke? No. They force others to breathe in something which they don't want, which they blow out from their smelly mouth. They want to spoil their health. It is fine. They decided to have unhealthy life. It is fine. They have the right to spoil their own lung. I even believe everybody is having his right to die or to die faster. But smokers affect people around them. Some even are smoking in front of their own kids. Do they love their kids? To have a healthy body, we suppose trying our best to increase the oxygen level in our body. Smoking is reducing the oxygen level in our body. When oxygen level is reduced, our body will become weaker to fight with all kinds of deceases and illnesses. It is not surprise that, from time to time, we may hear some new discoveries of how smoking brings harm to our body.

I still believe there are some smokers who really respect to others. But I believe they are not many of them. Please ask the smokers, whether they know or not, smoking is bad for their health? They know very well that smoking is a bad habit. Then what is the reason for a smoker continuing to smoke?

Smoking is just a habit. Smokers think that they can't quit smoking. My father quit smoking successfully. Why my father ( just an ordinary man ) able to quit smoking but most of the smokers are not able to do so? Some even give excuses on why they smoke. They say, smoking gives inspiration in composing music. I compose music but I don't smoke. Some say, they have to entertain their customers. So they say they have to smoke. I have a friend ( we took the same mathematic course during our university time ) and he is now my insurance agent, in charged of my whole family insurance plans. His monthly income is more than 10K, earning from the insurance premium. He does not smoke. I believe his customers are respect to him because of not smoking, just like I respect to him so much because of not smoking. Smoker needs to pay more insurance premium than a non-smoker because of the higher risk.

Is there any occupation which needs you to smoke and without smoking you can't get your pay? I am very interested to know whether such job is exists or not.

To smoke, it is not just paying for the cigarette. You have to pay for the medication, consultation and medicine ( which is caused by your weak body immune system ). If you are diagnosed of having cancer, how much money needed for paying the cancer treatment? If you are affecting your kids’ health, you have to pay for your kids’ medication as well. Smoker is paying to spoil their health. This is really not rational at all. Why they may use their own money to spoil their own health? And then pay to the doctor to maintain their health. That is why I always say, smokers are stupid. If you think, I am hurting your feeling, actually I am not. I am just showing you some facts and these facts are hurting you, not me the one who hurting you. Nowadays, even somebody who is practicing healthy life may get cancer. We try and hope not to get cancer. But smokers are saying welcome to getting cancer.

Somebody is trying to get better health. Somebody is trying to spoil their health. Is this because of ignorant? For most of them, the answer is no. As I said, they know smoking is bad for health. If it is not because of ignorant, then they are stupid ( stupid of always thinking that they can't quit smoking ), the only reason I could find. 

If you smoke and not affecting others at all ( not forcing others to breathe in the smoke ), you have enough money to pay for the cigarette, your money is ready for paying cancer treatment and accept whatever side effects of the treatment, you never complain on your income, you have a lots of time to get doctor consultation, you are happy to get sick ( never complain on your sickness and accept your weak body immune system ), you respect to non-smokers, then what can I say? Please continue smoking. This is your right to do so. You are an adult.

I would like to make something clear here. I don't care whether you are a smoker or not. I just don't feel comfortable when you force me to breathe in the smoke. You have the right to spoil your own lung. That is not my business. But you are not allowed to spoil my lung.

Notes to all smokers: Please don't blame that you don't have enough money. Please don't blame that people look down on you. You are causing what you are facing now. Just accept whatever you are facing. Accepting all what you face is showing that you are an adult who responsible on what you did.
