Smoking should be banned in Australia. Smoking is a disgusting habit that many Australians use every single day. The impact of banning smoking altogether in Australia would be a massive favour for everyone. Australian adults who smoke everyday and Australian Secondary Students from the age 12 to 17 smoke over 22 billion cigarettes per year and effecting other people to start smoking because they think it’s a cool way to get attention. But I think that banning it in almost all public places is a great idea but I raise this question to you, “Why not just Ban Smoking?” This question was raised in a ‘The Age’ article in 2013. The main point of the article is, smoking is banned in pretty much all public places and there are often neighbours writing to the council complaining about a smoking neighbour, so why not just ban it altogether?

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

As generations of diseases and cures continue to be created, the increase of cancer multiply each day. Although there are many recurring cancers through genes and natural behavior, lung cancer is one of the recurrent cancers that continue to grow; either it has to do with natural behavior or genetics. Lung cancer begins to occur when cells in your lungs begin to grow uncontrollably. This disease is infectious and severe because not only will the cancer affect your lungs which affects your breathing, but also spread throughout your body and affect other organs as well

There are more than 480,000 Americans killed each year as a result of cigarette smoking, it is the largest preventable cause of disease and death. The cost of smoke related illness in the United States is more than $300 billion annually, which includes $170 billion in cost for medical care and $156 billion lost in productivity (CDC, 2016). The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests smoking causes demise in half of its users and estimates that 600,000 people are killed each year as a result of second-hand smoke (WHO, 2016).

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death not only in the United States of America but globally.1 According to the World Health Organization 8.2 million deaths in 2012 were cancer related and of those deaths, 1.59 million were due specifically to lung cancer.2 In 2014, there was a staggering 224,210 new reported cases of lung cancer in the United States alone. The 5-year relative survival has a 49% to 2% variability depending on the type of lung cancer, stage, and location. The two major types of lung cancer are Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCL), which consists of 85% lung cancers, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which makes up the other 15% of lung cancers. NSCL is an epithelial lung cancer that is histologically comprised of adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.1 Both NSCL and SCLC are insidious in nature and the presentation will usually be vague or nonspecific and include the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss, recurrent infections, coughing up blood, hoarseness, and wheezing.

Smoking is a leading cause of cancer throughout the body including: the lungs, esophagus, larynx, mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, liver, pancreas, stomach, cervix, colon, and rectum, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. Smoking causes a number of diseases within your body including heart disease, stroke, aortic aneurysm, COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and also worsens asthma symptoms in adults. Smoking not only

No matter what the cause, lung cancer is a very serious thing. Research shows that it takes several mutations for a lung cancer cell to form. However when the lung cancer cell does form, it begins dividing out of control, causing the divisions to have the same error in DNA. As the mutations continue, the lung tissue starts to no longer be able to carry out its function properly. In some cases, the cancer cells will then spread to other parts of the body, therefore spreading the cancer.

I don’t show the smoke for market doors because however you enter site you will not be seen by doors (Unless you enter from van area, which the smoke could allow you to pick them off) You can push multiple angles watching doors not directly allowing you to catch anyone pushing out. I would suggest throwing a Molotov down there though anyway.

There are two types of Primary lung cancer called small cell and non-small cell. Small cell cancer looks a lot like oats, which is why it used to be called oat cell cancer. Small cell lung cancer is most common among smokers. It is a very quick spreading cancer and it is responsible for 25% of all lung cancers. The other 75% of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer, which is the most common form. However, non-small cell lung cancer is far less fast spreading than the small cell cancer.

Lung Cancer happens when your cells mutate and form abnormal cells, which cause the lung tissue to form tumors and at rapid pace. This happens usually in the cells that are in the air passage ways of the lung. The tumors begin to grow faster and faster which causes the lung to decrease the amount of oxygen to be entered in the bloodstream. Tumors that don’t spread are called “benign tumors”. Besides benign tumors there are other names of tumors that may or can process once it begins to form.
