" Smoking kills over 300 people a day in the UK "

Why do people smoke?

Some people smoke because they think it's cool, but smoking stains your teeth and fingers, it makes your breath stink and the smell lingers on your clothes and hair. It's bad for your skin and complexion. So to smell better and look better, you know what to do!

Some people smoke because they think it'll dull their appetite, sorry folks but smoking wont help you loose weight! You won't necessarily put on weight if you give up smoking either. People may turn to food when they're trying to give up smoking but all you have to do is choose healthy snacks and find something active to do instead of having a drag.

Some people think that it calms their nerves, sorry that's another myth! Smoking just helps you deal with the withdrawal symptoms you feel because you are addicted to nicotine. Smoking doesn't relieve stress at all.
