Smoking is a dangerous habit that people should quit or not begin. Smoking is also a form of Tobacco. Back in the older days, cigarettes were able to be bought anywhere possible. Advertisements were everywhere. People were even able to buy cigarettes in the hospitals. Advertisements in the 1940s have even showed doctors recommending smoking as a way to relax! Now smoking is practically banned from most of the places that we go today. Especially public places like parks. Not even most restaurants or bars allow smoking anymore. This is because the message of “smoking is bad” is being sent out to everyone in many cities from bulletin boards to Television to Magazines. Now smoking is certainly more under control that usual. But still it doesn’t mean that people should start smoking from a really young age.
As most people know, smoking is dangerous and really hard to quit. People can addict to the chemicals inside one cigarette once they give one puff. It is possible to quit but really hard. There is a chemical inside a cigarette called Nicotine. This substance is a stimulant. Nicotine temporarily makes the user feel good or energized. Nicotine releases a chemical from our brain called beta-endorphin which makes people feel alert and calmer. Although people will feel calm and alert, this effect will wear off in a matter of minutes. Now the user will be back to normal, but won’t be as calm and alert. So in order to feel that way or “normal”, the user will start smoking and will have a terrible time quitting.
Not a lot of people that start smoking started as an adult. 4,400 teens in between the ages of 12-17 start smoking everyday because of curiosity. Most teen smokers say that smoking makes them look older and more mature. Others say that smoking makes them relaxed and feel more rebellious. Some say that they smoke because of peer pressure. Most smokers that start early are young women. They say that it makes they seem less heavy. Most smokers also start because people in their family smoke.
The body does not need tobacco as much as it needs food and water. Smoking can be a huge error in life. Smoking damages your insides and can kill you. It is terrible for your health. It can cause lung disease and cancer. Smoking is not that good for the clothing either. The cloth will absorb the fumes of cigarette and will become stinky. Having problems breathing would be one of the signs that smoking is killing you. The fumes from smoking would travel down the lungs and stay there making it hard to breathe and later will make the lungs a dark unhealthy color.
This concludes that smoking is a very bad habit that should not be promoted. Smoking will just kill and depopulate the world by doing so. And smoking will never solve personal problems. It’ll just make them worse by making the insides of the body unhealthy.
