The longer a person smokes, the worse the damage becomes. Smokers are ten times more likely to die than a person who does not smoke. Smoking also causes lung cancer, emphysema, strokes and heart attack. Cigarettes contain the worst of ingredients that if the smoker knew, they would probably stop smoking for good. There are over 4,000 chemicals in a single cigarette; most of them are highly poisonous.

Smoking becomes an addiction for people; they smoke without concern about the surroundings. Some people think smoking can reduce their tension and relax their mind. Smoking in some countries is allowed at restaurants, hotels and also at the community centres. These places have many people. If there is a smoker at those places, people would be exposed to a number of health problems that the smoke can cause; such as inflaming our lungs and can also reduce the oxygen in our blood. Smoking at these places is dangerous and should be stopped immediately.Overall cigarettes are addicting, kill thousands of people yearly and have over 4,000 chemicals in it making it unhealthy and pointless. It should be stopped as soon as possible. If we don’t smoke and spread the word to stop, others will stop too and the cigarette companies will go out of business! The future can be smoke free and better, but it all up to us as a community!
