I didn’t totally agree with the author’s point of discussion. In the article, he said that we cannot ask smokers to quit by heath reasons because most of them smoke to establish their self-esteem.
In my opinion, stress is the major reason that some people smoke. For instance, one of my friends started smoking because he got a Dear John letter from his girlfriend which had been with him for two years. After that, he smoke and drink excessively. After he had a new girlfriend, he quit smoking. So I think not all smokers smoke due to their willingness. Sometimes, they have no choice but to do that.

(final)Why did I choose my major?
Why did I choose my major?
I chose industrial design as my school major out of my own will instead of parents’ hope. That is to say, I definitely know why I chose industrial design as my major. There are three main reasons for this very choice.
First, I love beautiful things such as fine arts, beautiful scenery or something that touches my heart. So I love going outside, taking pictures, even sketching immediately just to record what I’ve seen. These also help me develop a sense of beauty which is one of the most important abilities in designing. Second, I want to improve the quality of our daily life which looks messy nowadays. Though the technology has improved our life much, there are still a lot of appliances or devices which are not so easy to use. So, we should solve problems in human’s point of view. In other words, we should think more for humans. That is what an industrial designer does, and that is also what I want to do. The third reason is that I am talented in arts. Since my grandfather is an art teacher, he has influenced me a lot. When I was a child in baby cradle, I saw him drawing which made me laugh and happy. However, he died soon after I had been born; thus I can’t learn drawing from him. But this drives me to draw harder. I went to cram school to learn drawing, sketching, and I even draw comic books myself. That is how I love drawing which is also an indispensible ability for design.
Most importantly, I have a dream to design my own car which is not only fancy but also have good performance. Just like design, it should be both rational and sensitive. So, if there is anyone who asks me, “why did you choose design as your major? ” I would say, “because I have a dream”.
