Think Before You Smoke!

A lot of people
die each year
from smoking
but the thing is
why is it so
important to
smoke each
year.
Smoking is really bad but companies like these keep making
cigars.
Imagine this
THINK: Why get
hooked on smoking if
it is bad for you.
Imagine your 24 years old and your out with your
friends and one of them offers you a cigar. You say no then
he calls you a chicken then you finally agree. Two days later
you meet up with your friends again and beg them for
another cigar and they say no. You go two the drug store
and get 2 packs of cigars. Your friends stop hanging out with
you and you get hooked on smoking. You ignore the
advertisements to stop smoking.
This is a
map of
the local
cigar
shops
near CT.
What is so bad?
Smoking truly is bad for you because if you
smoke, tar will be in your lungs. Tar is a cancer causing
chemical. So the longer you smoke the closer you are to
having cancer. When you exhale smoke it unleashes carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas with no smell
or taste.
Over the years people have started to
smoke more and not care about the risks.
Tar: A cancer causing
chemical.
Bad effects.
Another effect of smoking is cancer.
There are a lot of types of cancer that can be caused
bye smoking. These are some of the types of cancer:
Bladder cancer, Kidney cancer, Larynx cancer,
Mouth cancer, Stomach cancer, Nose cancer, and
Bowel cancer. Smoking can also cause different
types of leukemia.
Smoking is addicting to people and
they will not want to stop. They will always find
away to get more cigars. If you try to stop smoking
it will be hard because you are addicted.
Again look at all the
companies making cigars.
More bad effects...
Another reason smoking is bad is second hand
smoke. When you smoke you breathe out smoke and other
people breathe it in. Just because you smoke does not mean
other people want to smoke or breath in your fumes. Even a
child that is 2 years old does not want to breathe in the smoke
or fumes.
My last reason is people should stop smoking
because many people die each year from smoking. For example
famous reggae singer Bob Marley died from getting cancer in is
toe from smoking. Over 440,000 deaths are caused by
smoking. Do you want to be added to the number? Save your
life stop smoking!
This is why I think you should stop smoking
today. You could be added to the
number of people that have died or have
had cancer. You could even stop other
people from smoking by not influencing
them. So lease stop smoking today!
