-yeah- Smoking damages a lot. Its not only the teenagers who are getting habituated to smoking. Even there are some people having enough knowledge on the side effects / problems they need to face because of smoking and still unable put a fullstop for that. Either it could be because of passion or getting addicted to that or in teenage terms it could be style. For whatever be the reason one who is new to it are smoking for tasting it and the one who already tasted are getting addicted to it. Finally, its not only the case of smoking. Infact, any thing that is dangerous or not good will almost have the similar reasons. No matter what it is. Either it could be smoking or drinking.. or whatever it is. The only solution for this should come out from themselves. So, I request all - the teens to not to make the habbit of smoking as a style mark and - the elders to understand the side effects of smoking to avoid a dangerous habbit which could even impact other innoncent people beside them(while smoking). Live life Happily. Cheers barani@dhanush
