Have you ever been negatively influenced; By whom, how did they do so, what happened in the scenario, when did you realise it was negative and not a good thing for you and how did you make the changes required to turn it around.

No man is an island we relate with one another for a better achievement and to get what we needed on daily basis.

Speaking of Negative influence that i come across in my life, is that of Samuel, in 2015 Samuel told me about smoking Cigarettes, he usually said it with whenever we are in a gathering that, I am not a man enough, while other's do smoke I will be doing mummy's boy, he said I should wake up and feel among.

Due to the fact that, he usually relay this to me, it was time I decided to have a taste, and right from that moment I had a taste of it, I was unable to stop smoking all the times, it became an habit to me, because what Samuel Didn't told me was to be smoking reasonably "only when it is applicable".

Since he was my mentor in the acts and he didn't explain it to me carefully, whenever I smoke I will do it without measure and rules, and I even used to smoke in front of my elders.

But as times goes on I became to realize that, smoking isn't all that bad but it is bad when you do not know how to go about it, when you can not see the right time to smoke, the right venue to start smoking and before you smoke was what I didn't know.

When I knew that it was bad smoking everywhere and Everytime, I became to adjust my measures and my smoking time and place, now the most and favourable place I smoke is clubs and drinking bars that allows smoking and also my room, and in my room, I only smoke when I am alone or when I and with someone who acknowledge smoking, I do not uses it to put pressure on others or make them feels bad at any kind.
