Focusing Point: Smoking and Drugs

Now why have I decided to blog about a subject that has been drilled into young hearts and minds for years? The answer is simple, you're still not getting it!
I'm kidding, but smoking and drugs is a serious topic and one that is not to be messed around with.

Why do we do it? The most common answers are "It's cool," and "All my friends do it". The reality is it is no longer cool to smoke and take drugs and not everyone is doing it now. Many celebrities condemn smoking as a bad and ugly habit that should not be passed on to future generations. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan who are seriously addicted to drugs have also been condemned by other celebrities who call it a dirty habit and refuse to work with her and others like her.

On talking to a close friend about this subject, she told me about a person who had to repeat one year of school three times because they kept leaving their exams to smoke. They could not control the urge to smoke for three hours and ended up using valuable time they could have used to start a potential career, repeating school and re-sitting exams.

Would you think of someone who smokes and takes drugs as a role model for your children in the future? Would you let addictions ruin your life?

Have a think.

Thanks again,

Next weeks topic is the Rugby World Cup. Just for fun.
