So I've been searching around in today's papers for interesting and inspiring articles to try and relay to you guys. So far I've learned about Anne Hathaway's eight Oscar worthy dresses (each worth the annual price of food for a small african village?) a man who escaped a hospital, a man in Quebec wanted to blow up our Prime Minister and a few kids and their parents have been kidnapped by pirates. Seriously.
An article that really caught my attention today was "Quitting Smoking is the Best Decision You Will Ever Make" The page goes on to talk about 4000 chemicals put into cigarettes and lists these intense substance names I can't pronounce. The article explains how these chemicals screw up your brain. How the the chemicals screw up your lungs. How the chemicals screw up the environemt. The article continued to explain how expensive, how time consuming, how risky, how useless, how stupid smoking really is: information we've had drilled into our heads since grade two. Below this on the page was a lot of information about programs and organizations to help quit smoking, with side notes stating how difficult quitting is due to addiction and habit. Again the phrase "quitting smoking is the best descision you will ever make" is written.
But I disagree.
I think smoking is a waste of time, a waste of money and a waste of health. Quitting is more work and time.
So what if we skip all this unpleasentness, hmm? Could our "best descision" be NOT smoking in the first place???
