Smoking and all by Chrisidore Q. Estepa

They say that one cigarette stick could take 11 minutes of your life. Is it true? Yes. Smoking is harmful to the body. Even though people smoke for fun, it raises blood pressure, decrease oxygen intake, and can cause different kinds of cancer. 

Smoking is raises blood pressure, because it is a vasoconstrictor, it causes a narrowing of an opening of a blood vessel caused by the nicotine. It also decreases oxygen intake, because of the of the tar, resulting to decreased lung capacity of oxygen. Lastly, it causes different kinds of cancer, because of the harmful chemicals in it. There are over 4000 chemicals in one stick.

These three points should be imprinted in each and every mind of the people. These three points are true. So even though people smoke for fun, we should tell them how harmful it is. To us students, we should be aware of the effects of smoking. We should not start smoking.
