Do you think smoking is sexy?
The reason I ask the question: “Do people still think smoking is sexy?”
is because after all the articles that have been written and all the evidence of the harm they are causing themselves and the people near to them, I am astonished when I go to an event or gathering where lots of the younger generation gather to see just how meny of them are smoking!
From everything I see and hear, I guess the answer is still a resounding – YES!
My partner was in the hospital a while back with a near-fatal condition, (thankfully she did survive and is making a good recovery). The reason I bring it up is I was absolutely shocked to see how many doctors and nurses were smoking around the hospital grounds. There were patients on gurneys attached to drips outside the wards puffing away merrily with the staff who had wheeled them out.
I presume I had been lulled into some sense that people were finally getting the message as I wasn’t really in smokers company and of course, restaurants and most public places have now banned smoking.
Is Smoking Sexy?
The smell of smoke and tobacco around the hospital was overwhelming so I have to assume that people still think so.
Below is a video on YouTube of a young woman smoking with a hacking cough and it’s been viewed thousands of times! So people are actually going to YouTube just to find videos of people smoking because they think it’s sexy. It really is hard to believe.
Below is another video I found on YouTube which is somewhat heartbreaking but I do urge you to watch it and maybe forward it to someone who is finding it difficult to motivate himself or herself into quitting smoking.
The bottom line is – Is smoking sexy?
In my humble opinion, 100 percent NO.
I think you’ll agree there is nothing sexy about putting yourself at risk of getting Lung Cancer.
