STOP SMOKING! IT CAN KILL YOU!!

Do you smoke? Well if you do, read this.

Smoking is dangerous. Over 443,000 people die from smoking worldwide every year! I think people should stop smoking because its really bad for your health & also can cause cancer. “Where do cigarettes go?” Well, they just go to landfill just like other rubbish. They break down after a while.

A further reason is if you walk past someone who is smoking it can get into your lungs and its just as bad as actually smoking. Another reason why you should stop is that it affects people around you.

Here are a few facts about smoking.

* Every cigarette you smoke reduces your expected lifespan by 11 minutes.

* A single cigarette contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of them are known to cause Cancer. Some of the chemicals are Nicotine, Tobacco etc.

* 15 billion cigarettes are smoked worldwide. These are the top 5 countries that smoke the most: Serbia , Bulgaria , Greece, Russia, and Moldova

*8.6 million people live with a serious illness caused by Cancer. You can also get Lung cancer, Bronchitis and other illnesses caused by smoking.

Therefore, although some people might argue that Smoking isn't against the law but i think it should be.

I think i have shown that smoking causes you to have a bad health and can kill you at an early age.
