Did you know 3,000 children each day smoke their first cigarette?

Smoking can cause heart disease, lung cancer and so much more.

My personal opinion about smoking and the long term effects that it can cause to your health is that its an unnecessary habit. Smoking cigarettes whether it be socially or regularly is a very bad habit to fall into, even though those who smoke now have heard all the warning signs and ads on the television showing them what could potentially happen to them if they start or continue smoking. They tend to ignore the facts because they are addicted and an addiction without the proper help and support is very hard to beat. I don’t understand how people who smoke can hear or read the words “causes cancer and can kill” and still continue to do something that eventually will lead to death. Our generation now as children should be educated early in life about the consequences of smoking so we can learn to kick the habit and not let it take part in our future.

We should ban smoking because all it does is put our lives at risk for us human beings. I have tried to persuade you by helping me stop smoking for all people, and if you agree lets make a change and put a stop to this!
