Starting off, the first time I smoked was the middle of my freshmen year. At that time I really had no clue on the effects of it, all of my friends just told me it makes you happy and thats about it. One thing that was really hard for me to realize was, the people who would continue to tell me that it doesnt effect you negatively were people who smoked all the time. Noones see’s their own personal faults, and overlook the fact that you really do change in ways that one would never think about, only until its too late.

Furthermore, after not smoking for a while one thing I noticed is that it really does change your speech. Not just your conversations become quite dull, but that it starts to wear down your emotions

making the words that come out of your mouth much more negative. I noticed that I starting to swear alot more since I beginned smoking and had problems being happy in general. Sure smoking would make me happy for a small amount of time, but the larger portion of the time I never really felt that great. Still too this day I’m probably not as happy of a person and I would have been or could have been because I starting smoking.

Along those lines, my work ethic deteriorated. I found myself lazing around the house most of the time rather than doing important things like weight lifting or doing schoolwork. Work ethic is one of the most important things in life, and being that I didn’t like to work all the time, Even to this day I have a hard time staying concentrated and focused on 1 single thing at a time. Freshmen year I did good in school, didn’t have any problems with doing my homework at night. I started to smoke and I got more friends and then by sophmore year rather than staying at home and doing homework I would go out with my friends and put all the important things to the side. Projects and essays especially, I would always put them off to the last minute and then stay up all night finishing something rath
