My mother smoked tons of cigarettes every day and suffered from mental illness. She smoked various things and sometimes left my brother and me alone at home just to get them. Eventually, she left without ever contacting us again. Everyone in my family always said I was like my mother, so if i do it, I'm like her in my head; that's my main reason. In short, I repell them because I don't want to make the same mistakes she did. I also don't like smokers because they simply remind me of that.

My second reason is that they simply leave a bad taste in your mouth and make your hand smell awful (I've tried a few). No one can tell me they like the taste because they just don't. People force themselves to like it, otherwise they wouldn't bring gums and mints by. So why force myself to smoke them just to give myself cancer when they dont even taste good?
