Did you know smoking could kill you? Smoking is bad and should stop because “… every single day nearly 4,400 kids between the ages 12 and 17 start smoking.” (http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/drug_alcohol/tobacco/smoking.html Each year people get sick from smoking related diseases, and it’s all because of a little pack of cigarettes. Even second hand smoking can get you dizzy because of all the smoke around the air, and once you breath it in the smoke goes to your lungs.
I think that smoking shouldn’t be allowed in the USA because “Statistics show that about nine out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old.” (http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/drug_alcohol/tobacco/smoking.html). Second hand smoke is also bad because smoke pollutes the air and when the person inhales that polluted air its like the person is smoking too. Smoking also causes wrinkles and yellow teeth!
Smokers can get more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia than nonsmokers. Nonsmokers are going to be healthy but the smokers will have problems, when a person smokes their hearts pump really fast while they smoke.
I think that smoking is dangerous for the people and it might kill them. Some people disagree with me because they think that smoking is good because it helps them relax. I disagree with the other side because smoking can kill them by affecting their health and damaging their lungs. “Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease, and that it can shorten your life by 14 years or more.” (http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/drug_alcohol/tobacco/smoking.html)
We need to tell people to stop smoking or else they’ll die. We can start programs and tell them how they can stop smoking in different ways. Also smoking might stop if we open smoking programs at some schools. If a student has a relative that smokes, inform them that they can die in many ways. The smoking program can probably help the people stop smoking. Wouldn’t you want a non-smoking world?
