Smoke Devastation

A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. 

The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth and in some cases a cigarette holder may be used as well. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and include reconstituted tobacco and other additives. (Wikipedia)

A single cigarette stick may be the reason of destruction of our lives. Most of the time, minors who more exposed in area that has smokers have the larger chance to become like them. They don’t care on what should be the effect of these cigarettes to their lifestyle, relationship to others and especially our health.

Students who totally addicted on cigarette smoking have the higher risk to become slothful in studying. Sometimes they tend to leave the class (cutting class) in able to use smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol together with their indolent classmates. Some are only go to school to have their allowance and buy some cigarettes and other what they want without attending the classes.

These cigarettes would probably ban to the school and sari-sari stores near the schools, most especially on elementary and high schools. Even if there is sin tax law executed in the Philippines, the population of smokers is not decrease, but instead, increases throughout the years. These smokers should quit so that future generation couldn’t adopt their smoking habits.
