Maybe it's because we live in such a worldly-desire-filled society, but many teenagers find smoking attractive. I find it revolting, yet I do know some smokers. A cigarette is tempting on the outside, but inside, it's full of toxins that can kill your body. Government requires packaging to display pictures of the long-term effect of smoking in hopes of reducing the population from smoking. But as we can see, many people still indulge in this activity.
"For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those who walk is blameless." [Proverbs 2:6-7]
What about our actions? A lot of them have long-term effects as well. The book of Proverbs continually remind us by repeating "in the end" in a lot of the verses. In the end, will the effect be toxic or detox? Will it fill you up with sin or wash away temptation? God gives us wisdom to see the foolishness in our choices and hope that we will choose the right path. Down the road, in the end, will it be joy or death that awaits you?

Wisdom is understanding what's really important.
