You are a smoker. The difference between the habit that you have now and the one that you had back then is that you don't have to hide it anymore. In high school you hid in the bathroom or behind some trees to keep it from the teachers and your parents. Now when you smoke, no one cares, as long are you are outside of the building, or at least in the smoking section. You don't have to hide your pack of cigarettes in odd places and you don't have to spray some kind of deodorizer on yourself to hide the smell or swallow some kind of detoxifier to hide your smoker's breath.
Smoking is on the fast track to becoming the nation's most popular unpopular habit.
Rates of smoking among high school students are on the rise for every racial group and an estimated 48 million adults in the United States are currently smokers. Every day something new is advertised about how to stop smoking, how to prevent it and what new corporation does not allow it. However, smoking among college students is on the rise. The college-age bracket was once untargeted for smoking prevention campaigns because it was believed that the more educated students were, the less likely they were to smoke. However, according to a study conducted by Harvard researcher Henry Weschler and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, smoking among college students had increased 22 percent since 1993.
