Dear Joel,
I actually have only been to your site once, and that was like half an hour ago. I googled 'quit smoking' becasue my mom had lit yet another cigarette and it stunk as bad as the other ones and I am SICK of it.
First of all, let me say that I am only 14- so I know they will not listen to me.
MY ENTIRE FAMILY SMOKES!!! Well, almost all of them at least- my mom, my dad (who are both over 50, so it could be really dangerous to their health, since their old) three of my sisters (who are over everyday) and my oldest brother all smoke. They smoke all around the house. In the bathroom, kitchen, dining room, their bedrooms, MY BEDROOM, everywhere!!!!! So my entire house smells like smoke!!!! Sure, you'd think I'd be used to it, since they;ve been smoking my (and practially thier) entire life!!! One of my sister;s is better though, cause she only smokes outside, but its worse at my house. I have three younger sisters one's 11, one 5 and one 3- and they always get smoked around. Even when the three year old is being held.
I am personally afraid that I'll get sicker than them at all the second hand smoke! It's insane and I probably go to school smelling like smoke. Ew.
Looking on your site sickened me looking at the effects of smoking and scared for all my relatives and made me think- I am NEVER gonna smoke. Its just disgusting- you get all addicted adn junk, just gross.
(I'm sorry this is so long, but i really need to make my point)
I am positivee they won't listen to me, but any advice you have I'll take.
What really gets me mad is that, theyr'e always like "Never smoke, its bad." While they have a lighted cigarrette in their hand themselves! So hypicritacal and makes me say "QUIT SMOKING YOURSELF THEN!!!!!!!!!!"
Not only that, but I've seen every one of them put the but of their tar stick out the window to ruin the enviornment!
So please, HELP.
What can I do to get them to listen to me? I am going to send them your site, though.
(And thank you for your site, it's really cool and makes me see how bad smoking is).
Sorry this is so long again.
Sincerely, SMOKED OUT (sorry couldn't resist) |
