Smoking
Most people know the smell and/or feeling of when they get home and have the fumes of a cigarette bombard you. That is how people all around the world feel with parents or family members that smoke constantly, they suck in that air every day. They get to walk in their home and cough and cough and cough because of the smoke that consumes the place they eat, sleep, and play in. We have to go through the struggle of second-hand smoke, environmental pollution, and cancer. Smoking should be banned all around the world.
First, second-hand smoke is a dangerous effect of smoking. Smoking is the reason why 41,000 people die from second-hand smoke a year. Every day kids, teens, and adults sit by those who smoke and every time they breathe in, they take in the smoke. People do not just get cancers from smoking, second-hand smokers do too. To conclude, If we banned smoking people would not die from second-hand smoke.
Next, smoking causes environmental pollution. It releases toxic air pollutants into the atmosphere. One tree is killed for someone to have 15 packs of cigarettes. By banning smoking, environmental pollution would decrease. We would not have to worry about our trees dying and the air not being safe.
Lastly, it is often argued that smoking protects you from Parkinson's Disease and pre-eclampsia. On the other hand, it causes lung, esophagus, mouth, throat, kidney cancer, and many more. 160,000 people die a year from one of those many cancers. One cannot deny that there can be good things to smoking, but in the end, it is always going to be bad. As a result, people should take into consideration the fact that smoking is bad, and they should stop.
In conclusion, all around the world smoking should be banned. Second-hand smoke is dangerous, smoking causes environmental pollution, and it gives people cancer. All in all, people should stop smoking. Smoking causes danger to the world we live in if people took the dangers into consideration our planet and friends would not be dying. Stop smoking, save your world.
