Editorial: Why Smoking is Bad in Non-recreational Places by Kim Wu

Smoking is unhealthy because it can cause lung disease and other symptoms such as a slow reaction time. Not only is smoking bad for your health, but it is also bad to those around you. How do you think others around you feel when you are smoking around them? Personally, when I smell smoke near the light rail, I feel dizzy and sick. It doesn’t only affect the person smoking, but those around them. Did you know second hand smoke is unhealthier for you than the person who is actually smoking? If you see your friends smoking, I suggest you tell them how bad it is to smoke and how it’s affecting you and the people around them.
