Quit it now!

A seminar was held at Asia Pacific College which taught me a lot of information when one person doesn't quit smoking. I don't smoke but I can be a second hand smoker, that's why the seminar was really helpful, not only in my case- a second hand smoker- but also for those who really smoked a lot.
There are two speakers but this speaker really gave me so much information about smoking.

"Quit smoking" words that marked into my head when his presentation was finished. That words were said many times by the speaker who once have a cancer, but by the grace of God, he was now a cancer survivor. but smoking really left scars on his history, he was now using a device that when he put into his neck he was able to speak but his voice was just like a robot. Before, he smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. And in my sixteen years of living here on Earth, I never met anyone who smoked like that. And I don't even have knowledge that a person can smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. It was quite interesting for me but a bit of scary feeling of course.

The seminar was all about the bad effects of smoking. They also created  a NGO who helped people who had a cancer because of smoking. They also had a project, the project was all the packs of cigarette had a picture of a person who has a cancer. In that way, they think that smokers will quit smoking. He also said that every month there are persons who died because of smoking. And also, there are person who seek help in their NGO for the support; every month.

As I can see, smoking is really a bad habit. I don't know how hard it is to quit smoking because I don't smoke but I think it wasn't hard because as the saying goes, "If there's a will, there's a way."
