We've all been in situations where we meet people smoking, or even seen on TV. You're walking down the street, and you catch a whiff of that common scent that divides opinions and stirs up controversies.

Some argue that smoking is a personal choice, while others believe it's a harmful habit that should be kicked out of our society. Hence, in this contest, we'll want you to tell us what you know about smoking and the reasons why some people might choose not to quit smoking, even in the face of overwhelming evidence about its negative effects, using the hints below.
