THERE have been numerous campaigns against cigarette smoking (CS) communicating that this vice causes death. But a threat to health doesn't seem to be a good reason for quitting anymore. People somehow block themselves and ignore all the information that is given to them.
The vital effect of cigarette smoking, and probably the one that the non-smokers hate the most, is that it permeates everything around it. Smokes usually have smelly hair, breath, clothes, and, if they smoke indoors, a smelly room. The stench of cigarette smoke is very penetrating and hard to remove. Even if the person quits smoking, the odour remains for a long time.
Most people don't even take into consideration the effects of CS. It stains the teeth yellow or sometimes even brown. Since this effect is long term, most people are not aware of it when they begin smoking. The truth is that a cigarette stain is very hard to eliminate from the teeth, and it will probably end up costing a considerable amount of money. Yellow teeth are disgusting because they give an unhygienic image and make people older. The CS also end up affecting the smokers personal economy. Depending on the country the prices of cigarettes can differ. But even at an affordable price, the regular consumption of cigarettes will eventually take its economic toll.
People can't possibly be proud of calling themselves smokers. It is terrible for health as well as personal appearance. Finally those who live in poverty, stink of smoke, and have yellow teeth are the people who are affected the most by this life threatening activity.
