When I was about 16 I had told my mom that some kids at school smoked, and she told me that I never wanted to smoke, because when the tobacco was in the field birds would poop on it and that stayed in the cigarettes. I was so disgusted that I never tried to smoke and I got a few of my friends to quit as well.
