Today Tim’s life took a turn for the worst. To start the day off, Tim goes outside and does chores. While walking back to the shed he feels like it is harder to breath. Like an elephant is sitting on him. Thinking that he might be dying, he hurries to the house and his wife drives him to the hospital.

This is bad since now people get hooked on it and they could be spending money on better things. For example, Kelly is in some financial trouble. He finds it hard to keep up with all his bills at home. He turns to smoking and he is smoking more now than he ever has.
