DON'T BE SHY OF STANDING OUT
Being different with our opinion or how we see/deal with things isn't a crime, neither is it necessary a plague, so we shouldn't because of that feel bad about ourselves or change our stand on the allege difference, it's high time we understand that our differences is what makes us unique and as well dignify us from others.
There is beauty in difference and having divers opinion, and that's one of the reason why our world is competitive and fun filled, unlike the contemporary boring lifestyle we might have when everyone does things the same way, personally I've got some things I'll never do not get involve in, no matter the situation.
Talking about things I won't never do no matter what, I've got several stuffs on the list, and number one is that I'll never smoke, I grew up among smokers because aside the fact that our house during childhood was beside a bar, most of my peer groups then engage in it, but I decided within me that I'll never smoke.
Down the years, I've seen people dive into smoking because they're depress or going through one challenges or another, but aside the fact that I made that decision within me, I also know I can't be forced into it by peer pressure, trend or challenges, there was a point in my life when things weren't Rossy, but I didn't because of that misbehave or jump into what I stand against.
Aside that, I made a decision within me that I'll never drink anything alcoholic, so with that in mind, I've never tasted a drop of beer and alcoholic drinks in my life, I attend parties organized by my friends where beer 🍻 flows like water, but they all know my personality, so it's either you get me a soda, fruit juice and nothing at all.
Aside the fact all these damage the internal organs, I love to maintain my sanity, and won't because of feeling among jump into what will make me lose my sanity or reason ability for some time all in the name of pleasure.
My leagues of friends, though nor smoke among them, but most of them drink beer, and since they know my stands about it, we've got pass the point convincing each other, instead we respect everyone's opinion and treat them as they are without being downplayed or less valued.

You are right that today's young generation is drinking wine like water. In their eyes it is a fashion but actually it is to lead them astray.
I can definitely say that you have control over your self to stay away from these toxic things.
And I also don't like the smell of cigarettes. It gives me a headache. And I'm glad to hear that you don't smoke it.
Bravo 💕
Yes, being different Is not a crime at, just that with you it's a no go area, and standing by your decision needs to be done with a strong mind else you will be swept off.
You wrote well friend
I really liked your post and I recognize myself in it because when I was younger I started to smoke, much due to the influence of a group of friends where I was inserted but when I grew up I went on my way and tobacco was left behind at this moment it is something of the past.
Regarding drinking, I make this reference in my post, I drink at a birthday party, at a wedding, but I never let it get to the point where it harms me and others.
Moderation is essential in everything in life.
Hmmmmm you have indeed made a tangible point here, smoking and drinking is a cancel out plan for me, I grew up in such environment too but with determination and good ethics I have turned out well... thanks for sharing my friend
Smoking is the least of the things in my list to try. Why would I smoke when I know it's consequences to the body? It takes a disciplined person to stick to such personality of not drinking alcohol or smoking. We should never because we want to feel among, do something that will endanger us later.
We've lost many friends because of our different nature and it's totally fine. Being different is fun actually when people call us rebel but only we know that we just respect our values (;
it also makes one loose respect, and you will not be value in a family or society what a great point, thanks for sharing.
Being different is not a bad thing at all fore I see it as what made you special. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I used to smoke but give it up. I started smoking because of a fad - smoking looks cool or make you look like a badass or it make you stand out. LOL.
Later, I realized that it is not and it is bad specially that I go to the gym and I rely on my cardio.
For alcoholic beverages, I do drink sometimes. I can list the reasons why I do drink but I know I will not be able to convince you so I would rather not. 😊
Finally, good that you decided not to smoke and drink alcoholic beverages.

It's good to stand out. I was really touched by your life experiences such that you couldn't compromise despite the league of friends you had.
More grace sir
I love the fact you didn't smoke, despite the fact you have people close to you doing that. That's nice friend.
Hehe... there are people who can easily handle having alcohol in their system and there are those that it's just not for. I guess it's just not for you.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I love the fact that you choose to be different irrespective of peer pressure, my pastor will always say that you are among corrupted people doesn't mean you should be corrupt too. I wish our young generation will go through this article and learn better, thank you for sharing this awesome experience... is a hope for the future 👍🤝
