　　All my friends at school smoked. My dad smoked; he didn‘t want me to smoke but my friends kept saying I was stupid. They asked when I was going to grow up. So I started when I was sixteen and after a month I couldn‘t stop. But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me. I couldn‘t run far, and I coughed every

morning. I got very ill and decided to stop. It wasn‘t easy, but now I‘ve done it, and I feel better. Now I have money for other things.
