smoking





Smoking is a far greater cause of death than any single disease. Smoking tobacco causes the arteries to thicken which then slowly become blocked up and begin to starve the heart of oxygen resulting in a heart attack.

We all know the effects of smoking from lung cancer to emphysema. I’m glad that there is a smoking ban in place because i personally hate the smell of cigarettes and I know that im not the only one who feels like this.

People know the effects of smoking so what I don’t understand is why they go ahead and smoke any way. I think that the television scene, films, music video's etc are to blame for this. In a film the man is seen as sexy because he is smoking and a lady becomes more attractive because she is smoking too. Children see this and want to be like their actors or like their favourite music star.
I found this site interesting because it offers free advice for people who are trying to stop smoking or who are thinking about it. http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/26740537/

I think that smoking should be banned everywhere because I think that it is disgusting and should not be allowed. And there are nicotine patches and stuff like that, that help you to stop smoking.
