Topics #8: Senses

     There are five senses that every one using: touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight. Both of them are very important. Touch give you more specific understanding for things; hearing gives you ability to enjoy the music, receive message from other people; taste and smell makes you can enjoy every delicious food and drinks; sight makes you receive the message more visually. If any of these senses have been lost, our life will be way more tough than before. However, if I have to lose one of these senses, hopefully I could lose the smell instead of others.

    The reason that I choose smell is that I think it is the only thing that I could abandon. First of all, I do not really like to smell things. I have allergy about flower powder, which means there is no chance that I will smell a flower. In addition, I prefer to eat food directly, not smell first. Normally I will smell the wine before I drink it, however, it is way better to be a blind and deff people...

    I am curious that what is the feeling of lose the ability to smell but still can taste. Is that just feels like eating a candle with sugar, salt, spicy powder on it? If that really happen to me, I think I am really going to get confused. Anyway, hopefully my senses could keep working well for life time long, because there are no warranty for them as I know...

I am one of them, even though I tried several ways to quit, but the progress is tough and slow. The risk of smoking cigarette are obviously, however, the amount of smoker are increasing by a unbelievable speed. If there is any possible that I can un-invent, I will say bye-bye to cigarette.

     First of all,  the cigarette is threatening everyone's life, if there are one smoker in a family, probably it will causes several pneumonic patient for whole family. Also the smoke from cigarette will stick to the furniture, led to a serious health hidden trouble which threatening every family members health especially for the new born baby.

      Secondly, it is also have the high risk of the traffic safe issue. The science report shows that more than 10% accident caused by smoking in the car. Especially on the state high way, people usually drive more than one hour without stop, smoker will be hard to control the indict for smoking.

      In conclusion, if there is no cigarette in this world, we will see a clean world without any smoke or bad smell in the public place, it is very good idea to improve our life, to give our descendant a better world.
