a blog on smoking...

So, a blog on smoking.

Grant states: "It is when you and your family, sometimes young kids go to a restaurant to enjoy a nice meal with your loved ones and open up the door and are blasted in the face by a wall of smoke; that terrible smelling, poisonous smoke takes your breath away and makes the rest of the evening a flop."

Some think it is a disgusting habit. For others it is an addiction. And others it is a mere way of unwinding. I thought this would be an interesting subject to write. Sure smoking is bad for you, and it is rather touchy subject when smoking goes public, in actuality I think it is not as offensive or disgusting. Since I want to be a doctor I am going to say that "Smoking is bad for you!!! If you smoke, quit now!!!". This is just because I am concerned for your health and not your habit. There are a lot of memories that involve the smell of cigarette smoke. When I was little there was this mom and pop diner a few blocks away from my house. I called this place the hi-ho grill. It was fantastic. The food was deliciously greasy and they had the best biscuits and gravy, as well as a creepy garden gnome saluting you as you walked in. (This always scared me as a child. He was about the same size of me as a five year old. Freaky.) I remember the hi-ho grill would be hazy with smoke, only clearing when the waitress with fresh coffee walked by. The smoke never bothered me as a child when I would eat there. It entertained me more or less. My little brother would always be bothered by the smoke in the restaurant. It was funny watching his eyes get puffy and red as he tried to eat his hash browns and drink chocolate milk through a straw. My mother would also freak out about the smokers. She would make us sit as far away as possible in hope to find a clearing in the haze. As for me, smoking is just what one does. For some it's a habit, a health hazard, something to do when stressed, or an accompaniment to a greasy breakfast.
