Is it okay to smoke?
There has been debate about if smoking is okay. I believe that smoking is bad for your health and that something should be done to help people stop. The problem with shutting down the tobacco industry is that many jobs would be cut and that would be bad for many people. It may be hard to just quit smoking but you can achieve anything you put you mind to. You hold the cigarette in you hand and choose to light it: with lighting it you have a higher risk of... cancer(lung,mouth,kidney,pancreas,bladder,throat,esophagus),cataracts & loss of eyesight,periodontal disease (Gums,breath,teeth),Atherosclerosis(Coronary Artery Disease),rheumatoid arthritis,reduced fertility(impotence erectile dysfunction),ulcers,asthma,ageing & facial wrinkles, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(emphysema,bronchitis),cardiovascular disease (coronary thrombosis,heart attack,cerebral thrombosis,stroke,high blood pressure), reduced life expectancy, and many more.I think that is enough to not make you not want to smoke but sadly people still smoke as they think it will add to their image. You can find many bad things about tobacco but it doesn't seem to stop people from smoking. Know the message is becoming clear... don't smoke! Many people are stooping and if you or a loved one smokes you should stop too. The company Truth has released videos and is still pushing people to stop smoking. It includes emotional appeal as well as a direct message you may have seen it on T.V. but many people have made covers so everyone can see the video. Although many commercials show graphic images of what people look like on the inside and outside, this video has caught the eyes of many people to realize smoking is bad for you. So overall I would say smoking is bad for you and that people shouldn't smoke. But, people do and it is a choice they make. It is in the constitution that you have the rights to do so as you please but i hope if someone asks you for a smoke you say no.
