Smoking is a habit that is dangerous not just for the smokers but also for the people around them, inhaling second hand smoke is the same as having smoked.
Smoking boosts the chances of harmful health issues such as different types of cancer and heart diseases.
Cigarette smoking is addictive and it is also very expensive nowadays, I've known people who would go without food shopping to buy their cigarettes instead.
Smoking is a very bad habit, it's costly, it makes you smell bad, rots your teeth, drys out you skin natural oils, ruins interior organs and affects fertility.
Why do people smoke?
It is said that most smokers start it for a reason, there can be a number of factors which contribute to a person starting to smoke.
A good reason can be, mental health issues which can lead to addiction, anoth reason people start smoking is during their teenage years as they start experimenting with things.
Some teenagers then keep up the habit as a way of rebelling against their parents or pressure from their friends. 
No Smoking Day is a fantastic opportunity to highlight many of these issues, and asking people to think about and identify the reason for smoking.
Any person can help another understand and handle their problems before they add another by taking up smoking.
So guys, we all have free-will and we tend to do what we want but sometimes a friendly advice can go a long way.
Enjoy your non-smoking day on Wednesday the 10th of March 2021 and try to quit thereafter, if you can go without smoking for one day, you can go two and more.
