Hey,

First off, this is a smoke-free campus, so unless you're smokin' hot (like, your looks) there should be zero smoking on campus. My precious lungs mean way too much to me for you to continue to destroy them. I get it, smoking was cool in high school when all the big kids did it... Wait. It wasn't cool then, and it's not cool now. You gotta stop. You have to. There are people who go to school here who actually can't be around cigarette smoke or else, you know, they die. Also, you yourself could potentially die, but maybe you find the whole "my lungs don't work" thing cool, and if you do, go somewhere else. I support everyone expressing themselves and doing their own thing, but no thanks. It's nasty. As my homegirl Raven Simone would say, "ya nasty." I'm sorry, but it needs to end.

The smoking needs to stop and Mississippi State needs to step up on controlling this issue because they're really disappointing me. I'm really sorry I don't enjoy walking to class and suffocating because someone decided to destroy their life (and mine) at 7:55 a.m. I also really don't like having cigarette butts stuck in my tennis shoes because that's also super gross. And let's not forget that cute boy in one of my classes is not a fan of smoking, and when I stroll up into one of my classes smelling like cigarette smoke, it doesn't work in my favor.

I don't mean to sound like a brat ( or maybe I do), but really, I'm just not okay with this. The cigarette smoke is worse than the freakin' bikers who run me over like, twenty times a day, and that says a lot. I like my campus like I like my life: free of cigarette smoke so it's easy to breathe. Let's just try to stop destroying this amazing campus with super nasty cigarette smoke. I know you're addicted, but I promise you can stop - like really, it is possible. I believe in you, we all believe in you. All of the students here know you can move on to bigger and better things, like protecting your body and living a long and happy life. I'm not trying to control you, I'm just trying to help you. We can be best friends if you stop slowly but surely ruining your life. I'll love you forever and I will hold you accountable so you don't start smoking again. It's your choice, though - keep destroying those lungs of yours, or save them. Let them know that you love them and you don't want to lose them by chilling out with cigarette smoke. You can do it...I promise.

Sincerely,

The girl who is literally choking walking behind you.
