Reaction:
            Really we are in great danger from smoking, which affects our bodies from smokers around us if they are members of our families or friends. I wish that all countries prevent the production of cigarettes to prevent the side effects on the humans. In my country; Saudi Arabia, smoking is allowed for men, but for women, generally this matter is prohibited, because just they are women, and that thing is very shameful for them to do except in the west region. There are many solutions to prevent smoking in the public areas like what happens in different places over the whole world, changing some habits as daily habits in the morning when the person wakes up and immediately tries to smoke, under stress and hard situations. When I was in my country, I always advised my brothers to stop smoking gradually for their health. Moreover, as for the side effects of cigarettes, I hate the smell of cigarettes.  Consequently, the benefits of quitting are many, such as the decreasing of blood pressure and heart diseases. We should cooperate together to help smokers to make their efforts to give up and live normal lives.
