A Hatred of Smoking
The brilliant person who spent their time sitting around and one day decided to pick up some of the tobacco they were growing and smoke it must have been out of their mind. This has lead to millions and millions of people’s addictions to, what is in my opinion one of the worst things in the world, cigarettes, or more specifically nicotine.

My conviction on this matter could be caused by the two smokers that live in my home, and have lived in my home for the entirety of my life. My dad, who isn’t really the stereotypical smoker that I would picture with the dirty fingers or anything, has smoked from a young age and despite countless efforts, is unable to quit.

This is what causes my curiosity as to why anyone would ever WANT to be closer than average to a smoker, family member or not, because I certainly don’t.
Now, my uncle Frank on the other hand is a completely different story. If you were to see the man, you might understand, but I wouldn’t wish that on anyone of you, so you’re alright there. My uncle smokes one after another after another. If you are to catch him without a cigarette in his mouth, other than at dinner time, the sky is about...
