Sir,
The last time I wrote a letter about smoking I was giving a tip of stopping it.
A lot of smokers no longer like it. Some are three years into the game, some 10 but hate what they are doing.
Mainly smokers are male and they range from 12 years of age. Their morning glory is two sticks of cigarettes, their break is three sticks and so is their lunch. It depends on their financial stability but they all have disguises which they apply after every session.
Little do they know that pretending as if you have not smoked does not mean you have not, the lungs will tell the truth, nobody can bribe the lungs because they feel the pinch.
The main cause of writing this letter is to tell those who haven’t started smoking not to dare think about it. Please if you don’t smoke don’t start. Those who are doing it really hate it. They tell me, they send me SMSs telling me to help them out.
They regret. Ask one you see across the road, ask him if he has enough money for smoking tomorrow; he certainly doesn’t, but he will smoke tomorrow don’t ask me how.
Instead of being an aspiring smoker, join a super buddy or anti-drug organisation. Do something about the growing number of young smokers, girls and boys.
They are wasting their money in something fatal the money that would be used for business and developing of the country’s economy. Build one soul build a nation.
Yours faithfully
