Over $330 million is spent in cigarettes. With that money you could have gotten yourself a shiney new car.
Half of smokers die of smoking related diseases each year. Diseases like cancer, heart disease and many more.
Many people smoke. They are everywhere! Those smokers don't smoke because it is cool but it's addictive. A single Cigarette is made from leaves from various plants then with nicotine to make it addictive. Its true that smoking can make you feel good for the tim being but if you intend to smoke you have to think about the future also. You''ll get addicted and it'll be really hard to quit. Young people may smoke because they see their parents or a celebrity smoking so they too smoke. We are made to be unique, special and have a mind of out own But why not be ourselves? Why follow other's wrong doings?
Why Do People Smoke? Peer pressure - Sometimes students want to ''go with the crowd and be cool. * Curiosity or Experimentation - Teens can be courious and want to try everyhting out, so they try smoking. Before long they get addicted to Nicotine. * Self-esteem - People don't feel confident about them selves. They think that Smoking makes them feel Important. * Coping with stress - Some people use drugs to help cope with problems at school, in the family, and with social relationships. * Rebellion - Most adults do not approve of children smoking so in some cases young people may use drugs to rebel against parents or teachers.
