Smoking is a real turn off for me. When I was 15, my mother was admitted into hospital - she was a smoker, and one day caught a chest infection, and started coughing up blood. Something went wrong in her lungs, I still don't understand what, but I know for a fact that the cigarettes hadn't helped.
Maybe it was a good life experience for me, maybe it made me a stronger person. But no 15 year old should ever have to watch her mother drowning in her own blood. So I'm very anti-smoking. It kills people. It wrecks lives, and it wrecks families.
My mum was lucky, the ambulance got there in time. My family was lucky. But seriously, smokers, you all need to remember, IF things go wrong, cancer, or infections, or what, it's never just your life that you've screwed up. And I think 1 in 4 children are thought to die from passive smoking. Thats something to think about too.
Sorry - not meaning to preach, if it comes that way. Just my very passionate opinion.
Respectfully,
Minx
