There are many effects that you probably never considered.
Smoking stings:
The odor intrudes on the noses of people all around you from your family, friends and co-workers. Suppose if your next door neighbor opened a chicken farm in his back yard. The smell won’t let you sit. Same way when you go at public places or meet somebody, your mouth stings and people want to stay away.
Cigarette butts are carelessly discarded:
Cigarette butts are carelessly discarded along road ways and public places. A smoker would probably never consider tossing a used cup or wrapper but many would not consider flicking one cigarette butt after another from their car’s window. A cigarette butt takes one to five years to biodegrade. What if we consider that the worldwide consumption of cigarettes is somewhere 6,050,000,000,000 per year, If only 5% of cigarette butts were discarded improperly, it means 302,500,000,000 butts are littering every street corner, parking lot, Public Park, and beach in the world.
Wastage of money:
Your smoking habit costs hundreds or thousands of dollars per year. Add this amount up over 20 or 30 years, plus tack on the interest that money could have earned and you have wasted perhaps $100,000 or more! Just think what that money could have done for you and your family if not wasted on smoking. Smoker’s doctor visits and medical expenses are more than are non-smokers.
Smokers cheat their friends and family:
The average smoker will die eight years earlier than a non-smoker. You rob your family and friends of you die early! Imagine your children, spouse, family and friends when you smoke next.
