Smoking
Smoking is a disgusting habit. I used to be a smoker myself, and to be honest I quite enjoyed it! I wasn't addicted to it, I mostly enjoyed blowing the smoke out of my mouth and nose! However, since I became a Chistian just four years ago, I have completely gone of the habit, I can't stand the smell of it, it disgusts me.
I also find it so rude when people smoke in public places, it's so selfish, they aren't thinking about the health of the people around them, even children and babies, they're just thinking about satisfying their crave for nicotine!
Something that often boggles my mind is the fact that people know that smoking is bad for health, yet continue to do it. I understand, from an authour who's book I read, I can't remember his name, but he carried out research on a group of people who smoke and found that although they knew it wasn't healthy, they carried on because of the short pleasure they got from it.
I believe that this is valid, for most of us, not just people who smoke, but those of us who know the dangers behind certain things we may do, e.g eating junk food on a regular basis unprotected sex, stealing, lieing, etc. We all know that they have dangers, yet most of us take part in these practices.
I think that all smokers should at least try to give up the habit. There is so much help available today to get smokers unhooked. It is better to try and get unhooked than to live with regret after finding out that you have a terminal disease from smoking, knowing that you had the opportunity to quit but didn't take it! 
Try to look beyond the temporary pleasure you can get from smoking and think about the longterm benefits you can get if you try to give up.
I noticed that I could run for longer when I gave it up (with God's help).
For those who smoke in public places let me ask you very nicely to consider the people around you, we don't want to take in those poisionous fumes you're making us inhale, please go somewhere else to satisfy your craving.
