Smoking can make your breath stink no matter how many times you brush your teeth. Also even after the cigarette is put out you can still smell the smoke from it.
Cigarette smoking has caused lung cancer to many smokers and even non-smokers. Cigarette tobacco smoke is released from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke exhaled by the smoker. Tobacco smoke pollution causes or exacerbates a wide range of adverse health effects, including cancer, respiratory infections, and asthma. Secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals. Two hundred of the chemicals are poisons and at least 69 cause cancer and other diseases (Tobacco Smoke Pollution).
Due to this problem, people resort to throwing their used napkins, cans, and wrappers on the floor. The subway platforms are home to sticky surfaces where your feet get caught and odor saturated areas. There’s always soda or coffee spills that you have to constantly keep looking at you feet to make sure that you don’t step in anything. Not only are the platforms dirty, but the subway cars are extremely filthy. The amount of gum that is stuck on the seats, handrails, and windows is getting out of hand.
It causes cancers of the lung, esophagus, larynx, mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, cervix, and myeloid leukemia. Smoking also causes heart disease, stroke, aortic aneurysm, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, hip fractures, and cataracts. Smokers are also at a high risk of developing pneumonia and other airway infections. Secondhand smoke is the smoke given off by a burning tobacco product, and the smoke exhaled by a smoker. Inhaling secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in nonsmoking adults.
If I can stop smoking, that means everybody can, too. Smoking kills people. Remember that, people. Do not give into peer pressure for smoking because it isn’t worth it, and it’s hard as hell to quit smoking. Smoking doesn’t make you cool or feel cool.
Smoking increases the risk of lung disease, for instance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is a collective term for a group of diseases such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis. In fact, the rate of decline in lung function can be three times the usual rate in smokers. As lung function declines, breathlessness begins. Another common problem that smoking causes is that it raises blood pressure, which can cause hypertension, and this is a risk factor for heart attacks and stroke. A research of “American Lung Association and American Heart Association” reviewed by “Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC” on May 08, 2012. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure says that about 30% of all deaths from heart disease in the U.S. are directly related to cigarette smoking.
Smoking harms nearly organ of the body. Smoking affects everything from the functioning of organs to the efficiency of the body's immune system. The effects of cigarette smoking are destructive and widespread. Smoking causes many diseases and reduces the health of smokers in general. In the United States, “smoking accounts for an estimated 90% of all lung cancer deaths in men and 80% of all lung cancer deaths in women and an estimated 90% of all deaths from chronic obstructive lung disease are caused by smoking”.
Especially if you’re a parent and have children of any age, they’ll breathe in all the smoke that you have just exhaled. I know it’s free but, I still don’t want it! In conclusion I think that smoking is just the most revolting habit because it’s smelly, makes your teeth go yellow, gives you cancer and is ridiculously expensive. All smoking does is drive yourself to a slow death and are too ignorant to think about others around you. I can only hope and pray that people who smoke realise their mistakes and understand it’s not only themselves and their family that is affects but the whole of the country.
I often think how can they buy these packets when the pictures on them are awful. I would hate it every time I went for a cigarette being religiously confronted with these images. Even using these confronting images on the packets themselves is not solving the problem. I think quit now is a great campaign in its support for people quitting or attempting to. It has great programs in place for people to keep up their efforts.
Also, secondhand smoke could be a problem too. A couple solutions to this problem are to stop the media promoting smoking and to educate teens about smoking and how it's bad for you. Cigarette smoking is the greatest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. Secondhand smoke causes numerous lung cancer deaths annually. Measures have been taken in both workplaces and public places to limit exposure to secondhand smoke.
