No Smoking coloring pages are featuring smoking pigs and angry birds that want to stop them.
Imagine a small, curious creature, let’s call it a human child, minding its own business, breathing in lovely fresh air. Now, picture someone coming along and handing this creature a stick of dried leaves wrapped in paper, saying, “Here, set fire to this and inhale.” It’s at this point that any sensible child might wonder why on Earth anyone would do such a peculiar thing. You could explain it’s a bit like deciding to suck on an exhaust pipe, only less efficient and more socially acceptable for reasons no one has fully understood in centuries. But, the unfortunate truth is, people do it—and it’s rather bad for you.
You see, smoking is rather like inviting a tiny demolition crew into your lungs, but instead of bricks, they’re demolishing your ability to run, breathe and do all the fun things a human child generally enjoys. Imagine trying to run while wearing a backpack full of old bananas—heavy, smelly and slowing you down. That’s sort of what smoking does to your lungs. Each puff adds more weight, more mess and makes everything that should be easy—like running, or laughing, or even just walking up the stairs—far more of a challenge than it ever should be.
And let’s not forget the brilliant social angle: smoking also makes you smell like a combination of a bonfire and an old shoe, which isn’t quite the impression most people are going for. The real secret here is that smoking, for all its flashy “cool” image, is actually the least cool thing ever.
