14 Vendetta - Ciggy

Smoking causes heart disease........Smoking causes lung cancer.........Smoking harms your family........

Damn, I really need to quit smoking. I remeber the first time I bought a pack of ciggy for $1.80 and now the price has risen 10 folds. If only my paycheck has also risen 10 folds.

This has always been my new year resolution but has never been realised. But I have cut down drastically from 20 sticks/ day to 10 sticks/day. I need to cut down to 3 sticks/day then finally quit this.

Tobacco companies are really smart. You raise the tax for ciggies, they bring in cheaper brands. So how can the government say raising taxes for ciggies is to reduce the no. of smokers???

Look at the statistics. Are they for real?Probably every year, only 1-3% of smokers start to quit smoking b'cos of the price. And what is the percentage who actually pick up the habit?????

You can't stop the uncles/aunties from quitting smoking after all these years.........

You can't stop young people from picking up the habit cos their parents don't stop giving allowances........

You can't stop patrons from smoking in nightspots/coffeeshops cos Booze and Ciggies just compliment each other........

So what can we do if we can't afford it? QUIT LOR!!!
