I don't know why I'm surprised. I was in the park again at the weekend and saw mothers smoke in front of ther children. It's disgraceful. Don't they have any shame?! I can't understand it. People have so much knowledge about how to stop smoking cigarettes.
I was out taking my grandchildren to the park the other day. On the way we passed someone smoking outside because you aren't allowed to smoke in public places. To my delight the youngest one looked up at me and asked if we could cross the road to get away from the man who was smoking. So that's what we did. We crossed the road.
I was with my grandkids at the park the other day. It was great fun to see their faces light up with such joy as they ran around with the other kids. Whilst I was sitting down with my granddaughter eating an ice cream another granddad sat down at the seats next to us and lit up a cigar. The fumes were going everywhere and it was more than disgusting.
Remember when you smoke you're not just hurting yourself. There are other people around you who have to breathe in your horrid smoke and all too many people die for no fault of their own.
Besides you health and ultimately your life. You have to look at the money costs of smoking. It's ridiculous when you think about it. Try and explain smoking to an alien from outer space. What do you say? Oh, these are things you put in your mouth. They cost a lot of money, taste awful to begin with but then you get addicted and eventually it will kill you.
I didn't realize how unfit I was until I stopped smoking. Suddenly I felt I could do much more because I wasn't constantly out of breath. I feel on top of the world. I can play with my grand kids who love their new healthier and fitter granddad.
I'm glad to hear that yet another country is taking the decision of banning smoking from public areas including bars. We have too much of a culture of smoking over the years and we need to reverse this. Instead of smoking being the norm, we need to make people feel that they are outcasts.
