It is estimated that 36.5 million adults smoke in the United States of America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). A cigarette contains 7,000 chemicals and 70 of those can cause cancer (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). When someone decides to smoke a cigarette, they are not only choosing to allow those toxins into their body but are imposing all those same toxins on anyone around them. Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers and is considered more dangerous then smoking the cigarette (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). Every year 480,000 people in the United States of America die because of cigarette smoking, which is the leading cause of preventable disease and death. Why has this deadly habit become such a casual part of the American life? This habit is not only harmful to the person smoking, but is hurting everyone around them. It may be their decision to smoke and cause damage to their own bodies but when they decide to smoke in public they are infringing on the rights of everyone around them right to protect their health. Smoking should be made illegal because it is not only harmful to the smokers but also causes harm to fetuses in utero, developing children and any other adults who may breathe that smoke in. Smoking starts causing harm, even to the unborn. A mother is a baby`s only form of life support through the umbilical cord. So,
Hello everyone, I am here to tell you about an article I read not too long ago. The article is about the danger of the use of nicotine to infants’ health from electric cigarettes’ fluid (e-cig fluid) or personal vaporizer. The title of the article is “Nicotine Poisoning in an Infant” and there are three doctors who wrote this article. The doctors who wrote this article are targeting the vapers (e-cig users) including parents as an audiences. People who vapes e-cigs are everywhere even if you go indoor you will see people vaping e-cigs because they don’t smell like smoking regular cigarettes. So vapers the questions are “What is in the electric cigarettes?” and “Do electric cigarettes are safer to use than regular cigarettes?”
In the U.S. almost all of the things harmful to humans are banned except for alcohol and smoking. In Sally Chen’s Smoking Is Bad For Everyone So It Should Be Illegal, Chen makes her case against smoking and other types of tobacco consumption. Chen states that Smoking and tobacco should be banned because “It’s an addictive drug that not only harms the user but everyone else through secondary smoke.”
Along with the benefits listed above, nicotine is a substance that can be harmful when
Smoking is an activity that has been around for many years for people to use and adapt into their lifestyle. It is a tool that many people use to help reduce the stresses of life and put them in a comfortable position that enables them to cope with the hectic lifestyle they are living. However, smoking has been scientifically proven to cause many types of cancer, the most common being lung cancer resulting in numerous deaths across the United States. According to BBC, "Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease" (BBC, 2). Evidently, the benefits and drawbacks of smoking have been debated for many years, and only recently have some countries have placed a ban in public places such as Britain and the United
I highly discourage you to abstain from even trying smokeless tobacco which consists of snuff, chewing tobacco, and dissolvables. They may seem harmless and super easy to get away with using but there is a very real dark side to using them.
Cigarettes are the number one cause of death in the U.S. and yet they are still on the shelves. People know the damage tobacco does to the body, and yet they still continue to smoke, chew, and sniff it. Cigarettes and tobacco products needs to be criminalized. Smoking is the number one cause of cancer in the United States. About 50 million people smoke cigarettes in the United States.
E-cigarettes might be helping our older generations escape the addiction of smoking, but it is also forming one as well. Lately, a trend has been developing of teenagers in High School vaping. The addiction has taken hold in most of America, and one interviewee claims that they will vape on the bus or in the library. The smoke still has addictive nicotine, but they have reduced the amount of risk from disease such as cancer. Even though they are illegal to buy at that age, they can be easily obtained. Smoking these can increase the chance of changing to the original, cancer-causing ones later in life. Around 11% of High School Seniors vaped in 2017, and ¼ of them did it over 20 times EVERY MONTH. E-cigarettes were first sold in 2006, and their effects are still not 100% clear, and won’t be for decades. If they turn out to be dangerous as well, just image what might happen to our generation. The devices are small, and easily hidden. This, mixed with the fact that some come flavored may be the reasons it is so popular. The FDA has delayed an approval process of these items until 2022, which means that this addiction will most likely continue in the years to come.
In the year of 2012, 85 percent of lung cancers were caused by smoking. As a result, smoking is responsible for nearly 135,000 U.S. deaths per year and cigarettes have been around since 1865. How could something so deadly be legal? Even if a smoker is not at risk of dying from lung cancer, they will still develop many health issues and diseases. Although steps and precautions have been taken to inform people about how deadly smoking is towards society, it has not made a difference; therefore, the sales of cigarettes and cigarette smoking should be illegal.
In today’s modern world, cigarettes have become something of a phenomenon. They plague the earth’s environment, they cause a steady incline in the healthcare spending of countries ever year, and they bring death and harm to those that use them. Yet, cigarettes remain a big part of both American society and the world at large. Why? Well, it has everything to do with the big name tobacco companies that loom over every country’s economy and the little effort put into counteracting their efforts to destroy young, malleable minds. Cigarettes should be banned legally, because cigarette companies get too much economic and legal power from their products, the costs of cigarettes far outweigh the benefits, and spending on prevention programs does not
There are many controversial topics on the minds of Americans today such as abortion, the use of handguns, and one of the most controversial topics, which is smoking in public places. The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. According to the History Channel, “When Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492, he observed Native Americans smoking tobacco. They actually used it to insert their cigars into their nostrils to smoke. Columbus took tobacco back to Europe because of its addictive nature; it soon became very valuable. Once tobacco was introduced into Europe, tobacco started to grow in many parts of the world. For instance, tobacco was introduced into France, Portugal, Spain, and England.” At one time, tobacco leaves were actually used as currency; therefore, tobacco companies turned smoking into a multi-billion-dollar death machine, yet some people refers tobacco as an American plant. “It is estimated that there are more than 43 million adults who currently smoke in the United States, 15% of the 43 million people that smoke in the United State started smoking as a teenager,” says the American Cancer Society. Smoking should be banned from public place because of secondhand smoking, littering problems, and lasting odors.

Hi everyone. According to therealcost.com, smoking kills more than 480,000 people a year. That is equivalent to the population of New Orleans. That also means that smoking causes one in five deaths. In my 18 years, I have known a few life-long smokers so I have seen the negative effects first hand. Today I will be discussing why you should stop smoking cigarettes. First, I will explain the many health risks, then I will talk about how it alters your appearance, and finally I will explain how it affects those around you.
Millions of people die each year because of secondhand smoke and smoking. There is nothing good to say about cigarettes and drugs. It has become a really big problem and it needs to stop it. But here’s the question can we stop it? Cigarettes are just plain out horrible, they contain nicotine which is a very addictive stimulant that makes you want to keep smoking. Smoking can also lead to lung cancer and many more consequences, there is more than 650,000 people who die each year because of the consequences of smoking. Therefore smoking is bad for your health and should be banned.
It’s not surprising that in this world you see at least one person a day smoking. I mean who doesn’t love watching people rush to get lung cancer? Seeing one person just taking their life away with something so stoppable, is so adorable, I mean what other qualities would you look for in a man? I like mine fully addicted and ready to waste their life away. It's the best religion that I must say so myself. In fact, I like that people rely on something like religion to lead them to the way they want to live their life. I personally believe in the smokies. The smokinese are a group of people that worship nicotine. Id honestly love to be apart of that. I mean I love the smell of it in the air, the feeling of polluted air. Nothing gets better than that. In reality smoking is the only relief to take away pain these days. I mean what other reason would people put something so horrible into their body if it didn't relieve any type of stress or good feeling. I live for the day to see everyone to have lung cancer and killing themselves for just being vulnerable about stress relief. I mean people preach smoking nowadays. People wanna go back to the way of smoking in a restaurant and people recommend it, it's a religion that's being created without anyone understanding.
The statistics that represent the number of people who have died from smoking in the U.S are astonishing. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 70.3 million American as young as 12 years old or older reported current use of tobacco. The fact that children as young as 12 are getting access to tobacco in the United States can evidently show us how dangerous it is becoming for the country, if young children are beginning to get access to these dangerous substances that could harm their lives. “Exposure to secondhand smoke is thought to cause about 46,000 deaths from heart disease each year” (American Lung Association), showing us how dangerous smoking can be to civilians. A recent article presented in National Cancer Institute presented a research that one in every five people dies from smoking. Although this point is extremely brief, it demonstrates how one in every five people dying is an extremely terrible cause that results from smoking. It is estimated that 400,000 people die from their own cigarette, whereas non-smokers who die from exposure to smoking is 50,000 (Teen Health). In terms of population size, the figure 400,000 is larger than some countries around the world such as Iceland, Barbados and Greenland, showing how devastating the figure is. It is also believed that the number of people who currently suffer
