The Problem with Smoking

Smoking is a serious problem in our world and a serious issue in my family. It will cause a big problem for the family. If somebody smokes, it hurts all the people who live in the family. In my family, we don’t want to see our uncle get sick or diseased because of smoking. We don’t want him to continue smoking. We love him and we want him to stay away from smoking. He smokes every single day, 10 cigarettes per hour. My dad knows people die because of smoke. So he insists my uncle quit.

My uncle doesn’t want to stop because his friend smokes also. My dad told my uncle, “If you don’t want to stop, we can’t live together because I have little kids. So you can go away from my house and find somewhere else to live.” My uncle stopped eating food at our house. Whenever I saw him, his tears were falling, so he tried to leave the family. We got sad because we love our uncle. Since my mom died, he has always made us happy and bought for us whatever we needed. He left for a while and the next time he visited, he had quit smoking. We live together again and have a good life.

My uncle stopped smoking because he missed his family. He doesn’t remember how he quit. He knows if he leaves the family nobody will take care of the kids, so he came back to the family and is staying with the family. All of our family, we love each other and we want to stay together. We won’t let smoking separate us.
