Smoking is actually really bad for you.

Believe this from a guy whose mom died from smoking. The cigarettes caused her lungs to become like tar and clot. She received cancer from smoking.

Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year.

There are no physical reasons to start smoking. The body doesn't need tobacco the way it needs food, water, sleep, and exercise. In fact, many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are actually poisons that can kill in high enough doses.

The body is smart. It goes on the defense when it's being poisoned. For this reason, many people find it takes several tries to get started smoking: First-time smokers often feel pain or burning in the throat and lungs, and some people feel sick or even throw up the first few times they try tobacco.

The consequences of this poisoning happen gradually. Over the long term, smoking leads people to develop health problems like heart disease, stroke, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), and many types of cancer — including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer. People who smoke also have an increased risk of infections like bronchitis and pneumonia.

These diseases limit a person's ability to be normally active, and they can be fatal. Each time a smoker lights up, that single cigarette takes about 5 to 20 minutes off the person's life. For my mom it took away 30 YEARS of her life, because she was only 49.

Please, please, quit smoking. It's an addiction, and it's insanely bad for you.

Hate to sound like a nag and a... [insert curse word here], but I think you need to stop. Smoking... yeah, gonna kill you. Your mom is protecting you. She is trying to help you out and you need to stop being a [insert same curse word here] and listen. You are young (obviously) and getting you off cigarettes this soon will save you from a lot of trouble. Across the world smoking is being phazed out by laws that prevent one from smoking in public places.

You are aware you have problems at home.
However, what exactly moved you to smoke?
Was it because you were peered pressure or is a nerve calmer to relieve your stress with?

Smoking is bad for your health, but you should try to avoid it since you have asthma.
And I am sure you don't want to end your life with a disease or do you?
This is something you would know.
It's absolute homicide.

not that i'm favoring your mum but she's right that smoking is not good for health..and you should not smoke again for any reason..
but watchin all your step's is too much...
smoking does make your asthma worst(true) but you dont die in instant..(ridiculous)..
your mum loves you that's the reason she is controlling and so ever..
so...
i think you should promise her not to smoke again so that can hang out again and try to " SAY NO TO SMOKING"..to your peers..
your friend should understand if you don't want to..
but if they dont..so stay away from them..
i know its hard to be apat from them
love your life is more important
and you can still find better friends then them..
xoxo..

Smoking is bad, but if it helps you than maybe there is something your mom don't understand about you.
