The problem with smoking is that it slowly creeps its way into, not only your life, but the lives of your family and friends. Its effects are dangerous and extremely painful, not only for those going through them, but those who have to sit and watch. And the worst part is, all the effects of cigarette smoke are avoidable; after all, it's a personal choice to smoke.
If you smoke and haven't already noticed, it takes a huge toll on your physical abilities by cutting into lung capacity. This is awful as you'll begin missing out on sport or recreational exercises and playing with your children or grandchildren.
Don't forget, too, that your family will all be missing this time with you as well: no one wins. And it gets worse: emphysema and cancer can ultimately be the result of all the lung damage. These diseases will leave you, not just on the sidelines, but in a hospital bed.
The next level of damage is inflicted on those around you- everyone around you. All those who come into regular contact with you, regardless of age or sex, such as co-workers to waiters. Even if they are non smokers, is in danger from the effect of you smoking.

Tens of thousands of people die each year from second hand smoke. Luckily, new laws have begun to make it illegal to smoke in a lot of public places, safe guarding those who work and play in our cafes, parks, museums, and bars. Perhaps the most tragic victims of second hand smoke, though, are not necessarily those who die from it after 30 or 40 years of exposure.
Children who have no choice but to breathe their parents' or grandparents' second hand smoke every day are at very great risk. Not only are their lungs getting just as contaminated, but their changing bodies are at a extreme risk of being jeopardized in their growth.

Quitting is a major consideration for those worried about the effects of smoking on, not only themselves, but loved ones around them. The future is at stake for thousands of friends and strangers, but more importantly, for entire generations.
If you don't want strangers touching your baby or wouldn't approve of your five year old eating food off of the floor, why would you let them breathe in some of the dirtiest air imaginable every day? To stop smoking is hard, but perhaps even more difficult having those around you battle with something they didn't agree to.
