The world is changing really fast. Nowadays school students starting from 9th-10th students to college level students are indulging in smoking to show themselves smart, nowadays it has increased a lot. When a student is addicted to smoking, he spends about one to one and a half dollars a day on buying cigarettes. A cost per month is $30 to $45, which if converted annually is $360 to $540.
The message you just passed on is encouraging. I guess I don't really have much of a problem with it aside the fact that doing something else shouldn't cause them to stop whatever makes them Happy. Smoking doesn't take a one-time decision to quit; most of them would love to HODL even more than 500 bucks in a year but, it somewhat becomes a life threatening process - especially if they have to quit smoking.
Mind you, I'm not supportive of the fact that they're smokers - I don't even give a heck! I'm just tryna "
put myself in their shoes "On the other hand, it's slowly becoming a trend that kids kinda find it hard to get pass..
