Why do people smoke?
It seems to be the remedy for stress and
can somehow make problems disappear. Even though smoking can do all these
things, it is still a wrong thing to do because it can lead to a person’s
death, poses a threat to others and can harm nature.
Smoking is a wrong doing. A stick of
cigarette has enough toxins leading to lung failure and eventually, death. It
contains ammonia which is used in toilet cleaners, acetone which is a nail
polish remover, and nicotine which causes the addiction. Smoking does not only
affect the smoker’s health but the people around them too. Every time a smoker
puffs, the person nearby draws in the same number of chemicals, but this time,
doubled. When those chemicals get inside the body of a non-smoker, it would trigger
asthma attacks, ear infections, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and breast
cancer for women. The same goes for the environment. The chemicals contribute
to air pollution. In time, when the number of smokers would increase, the air
we breathe may not be safe as what we think it is.
Smokers would think that they are in the
“zone” in this generation because they smoke. It has, however, negative
effects. The bitterest sorrow a man can know is to much and to do it, and then
to discover it was not the worth the doing. Life is full of problems and we
must remember that stress will always be there. Smoking is definitely not the
answer.
