We all know that smoking is bad for
us (Duh!). I mean the label on any cigarette package practically
says "Smoking this product will kill you".
But the question is not "Is
smoking dangerous?" but "Is smoking cool?"
OK, so you agree that killing yourself
is very uncool, but some of us still think that it LOOKS cool
to smoke.Now, in my other articles
(YOU HAVE READ MY OTHER ARTICLES?) we figured that looking cool
is different than being cool.
Well, since BEING cool is what we're
after here, I'm now gonna tell you why you can't smoke and be
cool at the same time. (Like, there was once this American President
who couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time - the same guy
who had the butterfly tattooed on his butt...).
WHY SMOKING IS NOT COOL
- BEING COOL AND LIVING ARE ONE
AND THE SAME. A cool person wants to live life to its fullest.
A cool person avoids stuff that will mess up his head or body
OR cut his life short.
- Sometimes we do things that adults
call " challenging authority" or "being rebellious".
T he
truth is, we're sick of this "you're just a kid" crap
they keep shoving at us. We want to be seen as real people,
like adults who are free to make their own decisions.
But THERE HAS GOT TO BE A
BETTER WAY TO SAY, "HEY, I'M AN ADULT" THAN SMOKING.*
(*Note: The adult world is
full of people who do a lot of stupid things, like smoking.)
- Smoking is addictive (Duh!). DO
YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A SLAVE TO SOME SMOKING BUTT or do you
want to be in control of your life?
- MOST GIRLS ARE NOT TURNED ON BY
CIGARETTE BREATH. (Some of us guys think it's pretty gross,
too.)
- And then there's Mom... When
(if) they (your parents) find out that you're smoking. Well,
let's just say that the reaction I got when I came home with
my purple hair and pierced ear is nothing compared to what's
gonna go down now. Mostly it's 'cause parents can't stand to
see their kids get hurt or do something that's dangerous. It
has to do with maternal and paternal bonding, but it's really
about love, like even if they piss you off, they still love
you.
(NOTE: IF YOU'RE SMOKING, DOING DRUGS
OR OTHER CRAP JUST TO HURT YOUR PARENTS, THEN YOU ARE IN TROUBLE
AND HAD BETTER GET SOME SERIOUS HELP. THIS IS VERY UNCOOL)
So, if you want to LIVE, BE FREE,
BE IN CONTROL, HAVE KISSABLE BREATH, and BE COOL, THEN YOU BETTER
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU LIGHT UP.
Remember, take charge of your life
- that's cool.
