National no smoking day

So it's national no smoking day. Can they call it that? National no smoking day? Shouldn't it be called national quit smoking day?

It's such a ridiculous habit when you think about it too. You're burning some dried up leaves and paper and inhaling the smoke from it. What's that all about?

You wouldn't put some leaves and paper on a bonfire and then stand there breathing in the smoke.
Well maybe you would, what do I know?

It's an incredibly expensive habit, cigarettes range from £4 odd to just under £6.
It's extremely bad for your health, aside from cancer it causes a whole host of other horrendous diseases and ailments.
And it makes you stink really really badly.

Also it's not as cool as it used to be. Smoking used to make you look cool but that public image has changed and now it just makes you look like a bit of a muppet.

You don't see people smoking in films and on telly as much as you used to though there is the odd exception, like Dot Cotton in Eastenders but I think she gets away with it because it's an important part of her character.

All in all smoking's bad m'kay. It's bad for your health, bad for your pocket and bad for your image.

I still haven't managed to quit though.
