Welcome To Write Monthly Prompts/July
Smoking And Me — My Mum’s Anti-Smoking Method Works!
Nobody in my immediate family smoked.
So growing up I only ever saw my friends sneaking in a quick fag smoking behind the toilets during break time.
By the way, we were in primary school.
The guy, I mean boy, used to take his mum’s or dad’s cigs as he called them and bring them to school for a quicky!
Please I'm talking about smoking let's stay on track here.
I don’t smoke because my mother was in marketing and she was very convincing in how she got her message across to me, it was quite subtle but very effective.
“If I catch you smoking, I go beat you. If I smell smoke on your clothes, I go beat you. If you smoke, you go drop dead!”
Anyway, you can see how convincing my mum’s delivery was.
It worked with me and my siblings and I have never felt the need to ever to have a quick cig!
Thanks, Mum.
Now I’m going to be serious about smoking it is not good for you.
I understand people when they say they need it — nicotine is very addictive. But, I have many friends who have successfully stopped smoking cigarettes.
It has improved the quality of their lives and saved them lots of money.
Today, I am joining the writing prompt for “Welcome to Write.” Sophia (me) asks: 3rd July: Why don’t you smoke cigarettes? If you do smoke, when did you start, and why do you continue? Do you vape? Is vaping better for you?If you want to join in the fun, see the link [Daily writing prompt]. There is a prompt for each day in July.
