One day in elementary school some guy came by our school to tell us about the dangers of smoking cigarettes. He told us the cig companies put all types of harmful chemicals in the cigarettes. I raised my hand and told him my father's cigarettes were harmless because he grew them and rolled them himself so I knew there weren't any harmful chemicals in them. When I got home and told my mom she made my dad throw out his weed plant.
