It was because of good peer pressure from both family and friends who continued to remind them of the terrible health risks of smoking: the threat of cancer of the lungs and throat, the damage to a healthy heart that is sustained by prolonged smoking, breathing that becomes hard and laboured, fingers that are discoloured, not to mention the damage that second hand smoke does to innocent children and family members who have exercised their right not to smoke.
Ce fut grâce aux pressions des parents et des amis, qui ont continué à leur rappeler les risques terribles pour la santé du tabagisme: la menace du cancer du poumon et de la gorge; le tort causé à un coeur sain par un tabagisme prolongé; une respiration de plus en plus difficile et pénible; des doigts tachés, sans parler du tort que la fumée secondaire cause aux enfants innocents et aux membres de la famille qui exercent leur droit de ne pas fumer.
