I'm very sorry to hear about your friend, SLIC. I also couldn't agree more with what everyone has already said! I'm only 17 myself, but I've never tried smoking or drugs or boozing, nor do I intend to. The cons far outweight the pros! It angers me to see so many young people, the ones who should know better, getting into this stuff. And if the health risks aren't enough to make people want to quit smoking, the cost ought to be. Drugs are expensive and there are far better things to spend your money on. I'm a train collector and model trains aren't cheap. I could buy a lot of nice trains for what many young people spend on drugs. I recently saw this guy on TV with a live-steam railroad on his property and he said that his budget for building it was the same as a pack of cigarettes a day and never more. <br /> <br />One thing that I'm upset about now is the Canadian government wanting to decriminalize pot. As a result of this it more young people are now smoking pot because they face much lower penalties if caught doing it. That certainly isn't a wise decision coming from a government that's trying to discourage smoking by raising the price on cigarettes and passing many laws about smoking in public places. <br /> <br />And also here's an interesting story about how my great uncle quite smoking. Back in the late 60's he belonged to a barber shop singing group. One day (he remembers the exact date) in 1968 him and the other members were having a drink somewhere. He had been smoking and put his cigarette in an ashtray and was left it there for a while and forgot about it. He then lit up another one and one of the other guys there said, "so, you're smoking two cigarettes at once now." He got mad and put both cigarettes out and stormed out of the building. He never smoked again in is life. He was so proud of himself that the next week he bought a brand new car.
