I can't stand smoking
The most difficult thing for me is to sit in a place that is full of the smell
of cigarettes. When you visit an internet cafe', the first thing you face is
this big cloud of smoke and the unpleasant smell of cigarettes. It's
completely not healthy to stay in such place. Many people suffer from
public places full of smokers who fill the air with their smoke. Even
those who used to smoke once they stay away from this bad habit when
they feel uncomfortable around smokers. In the past people in Syria
used to smoke only in public cafes, but nowadays people smoke
everywhere, in the restaurant, offices, street, parks, even in the hall of
the hospital. Smokers who used to smoke one pack daily and stopped
can feel how much they lost of their lungs capacity. Lately the
government has issued a law to prevent smoking in many places, but
apparently that didn't help .And the most important thing still is to find a
way to convince and help people to stay away from the temporary
pleasure of smoking.
