I honestly think tobacco should be banned or people could finally quit. It kills my child when we go out in public and people are outside building smoking their brains out as we are entering. My son has severe asthma and lung problems, I quit and my husband quit because of my son mainly. He get's so sick coughing when he is around it, which we try not to allow at all. I also think the tobacco makers should be sued for putting such a dangerous product out there, realistically it's no worse then drugs. They all kill you!
ReplyDeleteSmoking not only affects the health of a smoker but most specially the second hand smokers. I hope that warning through photos may smokers stop their bad habit.
ReplyDeleteIt's a vice that is very unhealthy and directly corrupting the body.
