Not only do people die from smoking cigarettes, but more than 41,000 people die each year from the exposure to secondhand smoke (Burden of Tobacco Use in the U.S). 9 out of 10 smokers start before the age of 18, which needs to be put to a stop.

Way back in the 50’s, smoking a cigarette was seen as one of the best things you could do. Nowadays, it’s seen as one of the worst. It’s been proven time and time again that cigarettes are unhealthy, and they should be banned. Though some still think smoking is acceptable, it’s very harmful to your well-being. Cigarettes should be banned because of the multitude of health problems they cause, including lung cancer, and because they can be extremely addictive.

When somebody smokes cigarettes they increase their risk for lung cancer dramatically, they are “15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke” according to the CDC. When somebody inhales cigarette smoke they are inhaling over 7,000 toxic chemicals into their body. One of the main things these chemicals do is build up tar in your lungs. This tar stops your lungs from being able to clean themselves out of any germs that get in them. This leads to mucus building up in your lungs and airways making it much harder to breath and causing inflammation. Also the chemicals inside a cigarette can cause regular cells to turn into cancer cells. This doesn't just happen in your lungs, cigarettes can cause cancer throughout your entire body. Such as mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, voicebox (larynx), trachea, bronchus, kidney and renal pelvis, urinary bladder, and cervix, and causes acute myeloid leukemia. But that fact is you don't even need to smoke cigarettes for these health problems to arise. “Second hand smoke in responsible for 41,000 of the 480,000 deaths in the U.S”. (CDC). This means people who might not want anything to do with cigarettes are dying because of someone else's habit. That is a horrible thing and the government should step in so more people do

This is just one of the many reasons why I believe that cigarette smoking should be banned in public areas. I will argue this point in three ways.

Next, I will argue that the negative effects go beyond just health, but to the money of people affected by

The United States Surgeon General’s report stated that cigarette smoking is the major single cause of cancer death in the United States. This statement is so true today. Smoking a cigarette is an acquired behavior and that makes it the most preventable cause of death in our society. Cigarettes contain nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. The main ingredient in cigarettes is tobacco. The nicotine in cigarettes is very addictive and when smoke containing nicotine is inhaled into the lungs, the nicotine reaches your brain in less than six seconds. Addiction to nicotine also poses very serious health risks. With all the toxic ingredients contained in cigarettes cigarette smoking is not only harmful to smokers but to nonsmokers. When you are smoking a cigarette you are not the only one being harmed so cigarette smoking should be banned because it is harmful to those smoking and those who chose not to.
