"Damn, I need a boge."

Why is it that all of a sudden kids are starting to smoke cigarettes? Kids as in, highschool kids. Or even worse, college kids. I was under the impression that everyone knows how bad cigarettes are for you? And how expensive they are? I just assumed that people started smoking cigarettes to look cool and not knowing the effects/consequences. 

Im speaking, of course, from a non-smoker's opinion. 

That made me a smoker-hater, but living

 with a cigarette smoking roommate has helped me understand who smokers do smoke cigarettes, and why they dont quit, even though they're fully aware of the health risks. Basically, I gave him crap about smoking cigarettes and he'd try to reason with me why he has to smoke them and why I have to stand outside with him at night so he doesnt have to smoke alone lol. Pain in my ass to stand outside in the cold but its all good haha

frankly speaking, im good. and i know i'll never smoke. but it sucks to see people i care about smoke cigarettes. The worst is when you say something about them smoking, and they say "Yo, dont worry about it, i can/im gonna quit when i want/soon. Clearly you're fooling yourself, any addicted smoker can tell you that. And then they get pissed of cause im giving them shit abut smoking. Honestly, Im giving you shit cause i care about your health. If i didnt care about you, why would it bother me that you're wasting your life and money away? OR the "Hey, I dont want to live that long anyway." Ohh that annoys me lol. What, have you been to the future? Do you know if you're gonna get kids and want to see them grow up, or your grand kids? Plus, if you smoke cigarettes, you dont know when the fuck you're gonna get cancer (if you do). "I dont want to live that long"- are you dumb, cigarettes can kill you at age 30. Shits serious.

But what can i do. Honestly. You cant try to verbally convince a smoker to quit. Its their choice, so what can i do besides sit and watch. All i can do is pray, i guess. By God's Grace...
