Dear Kids at the Mall,

I know you have an image to protect: hence the nonsense with the hats askew, bellies exposed and the underwear showing. But, is there anyway you could look like you’re trying really hard to be nonchalant while standing around in little clusters and not smoke? Your little fingers gripping the cancer sticks like they are foreign objects. Your coughing and hacking while trying to swallow after the inhale. These are signs that you should STOP.

I’ll just say no for you.

Sincerely,

leahpeah
