Non-Smoker...

My mother asked for me to light some incense and pray to my grandparents today in the morning...

A quick guide to a non-smoker, is when you watch them lighting up something and they fail to use a lighter! I couldnt get the darn thing up with a flame...my thumb was red after several attempts...i had to pass it to my mum who was able to light the incense for me. I can manage matches...but a lighter, nope!

One of the biggest turn offs for me is a smoker! Im not alone on this one...boy or girl...im asthmatic, but even if i wasnt...id still hate it.

Kissing a smoker is even more offensive! Its bad enough that i dodge people who are walking on the street and smoking, but kissing a smoker is literally like kissing an ashtray minus the crusty bits of ash that has been stubbed out in it?

Not to mention all the health probs that come with smoking! You may not experience anything now, but that doesnt mean ur safe from it! And passive smoking is the pits, its like getting passed a virus even though u were trying to prevent it!

I commend the Waverley Council with their No-Smoking Policy on their beaches! Now, lets see a domino effect happen and all beaches make it safe and clean by introducing the same policy!

By the way, for all the people who are interested in quitting the bad habit, its World No Tobacco Day this 31st May 2004. Give the patches or gum a go...and perhaps try giving it up as a group...make a bet that you dont want to lose! In the long run, you will appreciate giving up smoking, because u will see the benefits of giving it up reflect in you having better health!
