I WILL QUIT TOMORROW I will quit tomorrow or this is my last one. Theses are the open statements made on a daily basis by cigarette smokers. (Brownlee and Roberts) “Without cigarette breaks, smokers could gain a month 's work each year.” Cigarette smoking has been around for decades, despite all the advertisement stating that smoking is bad for your health, people can be seen on the outside of their jobs taking a break with a pack of cigarette.

are all proof of these progressions. So why, when we have so much knowledge and information at our fingertips, are there still people doing unnecessary things such as smoking when they know that it is not good for them?
