Smoking looks good in photographs...aesthetically for some reason, still brings back the memories of legends of cinema, art and fashion into mind.

on the other hand:
.

" Cigarette smoking has been identified as the most important source of preventable morbidity and premature mortality in the United States and the world.

Smoking-related diseases cause an estimated 440,000 American deaths each year.

Smoking costs the United States over $150 billion annually in health care costs.

A 2004 Study by the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion found that cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer.

Women account for 39 percent of all smoking deaths.

Adolescent girls who smoke and take oral birth control pills greatly increase their chances of having blood clots and strokes."

.
If you are still smoking, please try to quit today.

My aunt died from lung cancer from smoking cigarettes at the age of 48. She is but one among thousands upon thousands, if not millions.

And people still continue to light up one cancer stick after another, day after day. I truly cannot understand why.
