When we talk about tobacco and its effect on society, we always tend to look at the negative things which it brings with it. However, we often miss out on the obviously positive things which can be brought upon us and society when we choose NOT to smoke. As the movie Monsters' University illustrates, smoking does not have to be involved to have fun, or most importantly, be used to overcome your difficulty or pain in life.
If we look at the character Mike Wazowski from the movie, we can say how life can be hard but yet, there are ways to overcome your problems, without smoking. Mike had a bad start to his university career as seen, and faced several obstacles including friends and expulsion from his special program. He was, first of all, expelled from being in the scare program due to a mistake. Ever since, we saw Mike to be very depressed and annoyed with life. Although, he was not seen smoking to throw his struggles away. He was determined in being successful and did so without any sort of substance abuse or tobacco. Therefore, there are ways out from bad situations, except having to smoke or do drugs to try and forget about it.
This movie clearly demonstrates this by using Mike as an example, as a character who had to struggle a lot to be successful and had a lot pf problems, but did addiction to smoking or drugs was not one of his problems. Furthermore, there are so many other ways to have fun and enjoy your life instead of smoking. Mike and his buddies were seen to have a blast doing all sorts of activities, competitions, games, etc., all of which were done without having to smoke, or have any tobacco involved. This movie demonstrates how you can have fun and enjoy your time, wherever you are, whatever you do, without needing to have the urge to smoke or do drugs.
