Smoking, as one knows it, has become a stress-reliever worldwide. One will find a smoker pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up around every corner. Smoking has especially become a growing problem in college campuses. When a college student enters the college campus, they do not only enter a new campus, a new life is also entered. In this new experience, one will find themselves exploring new things. The power of the eye is remarkable in today’s society.

Many people believe that there are good and bad outcomes from smoking. I believe that smoking should be banned because of its effect on one’s health, the effect of secondhand smoke, and the hypocrisy of smoking parents encouraging their children to not smoke in their lifetime.
