Persuasive Essay On Smoking

Is smoking a cigarette like aiming a smoking gun to your head? Absolutely, yes! The photo above, has a very powerful message to be shared with people all over the world. The creator of the picture above is, The American Cancer Society. This is an organization that is trying to heighten awareness of the dangers of smoking, the most threatening danger being, cancer. They also promote relays which help raise money for ads and research. The money raised helps to inform people of the dangers smoking and what the negative outcomes of such a habit. This society also helps with finding treatment options. They are helping people cope with the side effects of various cancers or to advise on health insurance. A certain population of people, particularly young people, see smoking as a cool or hip idea to fit in. The goal of this visual argument is to inform people who smoke cigarettes that they should just hold a gun to their heads. The American people should be against nonsmoking because of the feelings you get when smoking, the chemicals that are involved, and how the cigarette will kill like a loaded gun.

Smoking tobacco is probably one of the worst habits humankind has developed. Originating as a tradition of the Native Americans, practiced mostly on special occasions, smoking has gradually become a kind of mass addiction. Due to the efforts of tobacco companies seeking to increase their sales, people started smoking more and more often; the evolution of a more traditional pipe to a cigarette took some time, but eventually tobacco became more affordable and easier to use (you now simply need to light it up, instead of having to always carry a tobacco pouch, stuff a pipe, puff it, and so on). As a result, deaths and health issues connected to tobacco consumption became a worldwide

People shouldn’t smoke because of your health, nature, and pets and animals around the world.

You've all probably seen a cigarette before. You've probably even smelled cigarette smoke before. But do you know all the dangers that come with it? Some of you may know a few of the dangers, such as smoking being able to cause lung cancer, but is that all you know? About 400,000 people die every year because of the tobacco in a cigarette. Even though cigarettes are small and have a small amount of tobacco, it is still very deadly. About 65,000 of those 400,000 people die from obstructive lung cancer. About 45 people die every hour! Imagine how many people die every day. And if you do decide to smoke, just know that you typically lose 7 years of your life. You could live 7 years longer if you don't smoke. I know 7 years doesn't seem like a lot, but right now, 7 years is about half of mine and many other children's lives. So tell me, do you think smoking is a good idea?

Drifting tobacco smoke can trigger asthma attacks, bronchial infections, and other serious health problems in nonsmokers. For the 100 million Americans who have asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic sinusitis, emphysema, or other breathing related conditions, it makes them especially susceptible to secondhand tobacco smoke.

In many cases, there are smokers who decide to stop smoking and change their lives for the better. An example is David Sturges, who is an attorney and lung cancer survivor. In 2002 David had been diagnosed with a small, malignant tumor in the lower lobe of his right lung-lung cancer. David was fortunate enough to undergo surgery and through his hard journey of recovery survived. Throughout his journey, David recognized that lung cancer is a branch of cancer research and is now traveling the world informing schools, organizations about the suffering f of lung cancer. He travels to schools, conferences, and workshops talking about how smoking challenged his life and raises funds for development in lung cancer research. This is just how one life changing surgery can help one man influence many. (Lung Cancer Foundation of America, 2016)

Cigarettes have been around since the late 1800’s. Over that time, they have been perceived as this trend setting drug that will make you super cool. Their advertisements convince the buyers that they would make you more appealing to the other sex, more interesting, and a better person if you would start smoking, and that for the most part has kept up to this day. However, thankfully to awareness advertisements we have become more informed on how dangerous cigarettes really are.

Smoking has a large impact amongst citizens in the United States, with a little less than 20% of the population smoking. Smoking, in the United States, is the number one cause of easily preventable deaths. Seeing these alarming deaths people decided they would make scary and startling advertisements to get the point across. These ads were taking people's breath away, they were seeing the effects of smoking in a light they hadn’t previously thought about. The ad I chose to analyse has a man holding a cigarette between his middle and index finger while an above light source illuminates the shape of a gun behind the cigarette, and if you look close you can see that the man's index finger is holding the trigger of said gun to further the statement being made. This image uses the three modes of persuasion to caution viewers to not begin or continue smoking.

Most people in society today know about tobacco and its negative effects on the human body, yet tobacco is still used and accepted in pop culture. Big name tobacco companies are causing health problems for smokers and even non-smokers. Those same companies are also targeting the youth to get them hooked on the drug nicotine found in tobacco. I believe that tobacco has very little to benefit from and should be outlawed in the United States due to health issues it brings, addictiveness, and the targeting of youth who is not able to purchase tobacco legally.

During one’s lifetime they will make over a thousand mistakes that they will regret. One of those thousand mistakes they will regret will be smoking tobacco and tobacco products.

While baby boomers and a few generations before are hooked on cigarettes millennials and generation Z have a whole new addiction. While tobacco cigarettes used to be something that was ‘cool’ to do, the new age version of this is vaping. Over time our technology has increased and scientists came up with an alternate solution to cigarette smokers addictions. Scientists have found a way to infuse nicotine into flavored oil (AKA e-juice) and use an atomizer to heat that to its boiling point which creates a flavored vapor with nicotine in it. Although this is a much healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes, there are definitelty some health risks that this new product presents.Scientists created an alternative, and with a lack of research or attention to research in media, many teens have turned to vaping. Vaping and using e-cigarettes is harmful to your body in many ways. Vaping includes risk of other lung issues, exploding atomizers can risk lives, and faulty vapes are extremely dangerous. THey also include risks of addiction to nicotine, and extremely harmful chemicals you are taking into your body.

The sound of a cough rings throughout the park. The foul stench of thousands of chemicals wafts through the air. Peering around, the culprit is spotted; a man smoking on a nearby bench. Smoking has long since been regarded as one of the number one avoidable causes of death (Pietrangelo & Cherney, 2017). Tobacco is one of the most widely-used recreational drugs in the world and although most countries put age restrictions on its use, over a billion adults smoke tobacco legally every day. As well as having serious health consequences for smokers themselves, the pollution of other people's atmospheres with cigarette smoke causes the issue of secondhand smoke.

In the United States, 480,000 people die each year from the most preventable cause of death in the nation; cigarette use (CDC par. 1). Most people who read this piece of information ask themselves the same question. Why are people still smoking today knowing that it could ultimately lead to death? Smoking is a habit that develops are easily as any other habit, but many factors make it one of the most difficult habits or addictions to break. People smoke because they become biologically addicted to it, they are peer pressured into doing so, and/or it helps them cope emotionally.

Cigarette smoking is one of the biggest habits in the world at present. More than 16 million people already have at least one disease from smoking. (CDC,2015) Cigarette smoking is estimated to lead to 4.9 premature deaths per year, with this number predicted to rise to a shocking 10 million by 2020. (Novartis Foundation,2009) Cigarette smoking is a detrimental habit which leads to Cancer, heart disease and COPD. (Novartis Foundation,2009) I believe in order to improve the health of citizens and increase the population, cigarette smoking should be banned.

Smoking. Smoking has been a major thing that has been going on for years. Smoking was a huge icon in the past, it showed wealth and glamour. However, even though it was super popular back in the day, in the 20th century, it has died down a little because people now know the causes and harm of smoking. Smoking advertisements have had to step up their game to keep their companies in business. Like any other ad, the author has to use many different strategies to persuade their audience into buying their product. Blu E-Cigarettes use rhetorical situation/aim, Aristotle three categories of persuading-character, logic, and emotion, and lastly, fallacies to persuade smokers into using their product.
