Smoking is Not Cool and Quit Now

Answer 1

A Possible Version

Smoking is Not Cool and Quit Now

Most young smokers say smoking is cool and doesn't hurt us right now. People can just stop before it gets dangerous.

But in my opinion smoking is not cool at all. In addition to the waste of money smoking makes you smell bad and makes your teeth dirty. Being addicted to cigarettes will poison your body with cancer causing by-products. Dying of lung and heart disease or cancer won't promote your popularity. Don't quit until it's too late—smoking begins to damage your body the moment you start.

To quit you should first set a date and quit COMPLETELY on that day. Then find out the times you are most likely to smoke and make a plan about what you'll do instead of smoking at those times. For example take a walk when feeling stressed. Take exercises to resist the desire to smoke. Let your friends give you a help reminding you if necessary.
