The danger in using/ smoking tobacco starts at a young age until the adult age. Smoking can cause bad illness while also harming the person body and body organs. Smoking not only affects the person that uses, it also affects the people around you daily. Using tobacco can cause premature death too both the smoker and the nonsmoker, it called (second hand smoke). Tobacco smoking has been known to cause over 400,000 deaths every single year in the U.S (Wiley, 2011). People use tobacco smoking for many of reasons, some just for being cool, or trying to just fit in, and also watching family member smoke. Even though people know the bad and unhealthy

Quit smoking without using patches or nicotine gum? Once the impossible dream, today's quitters are using a high-tech replacement for the tobacco-stuffed paper tubes now banned in work places and shared spaces. Nicotine bearing gums and patches help many end a dangerous and increasingly expensive habit. Many quitters find success using traditional smoking cessation products, but those products only replace nicotine. Unfortunately, they completely fail to replace an important element of the smoking experience; they do not feel the same. Quitting smokers miss that sensation of smoke hitting the back of the throat. They miss the deep inhale; they miss blowing smoke through pursed lips. Enter the electronic cigarette, a nearly complete substitute for the smokers' ritual.

“How bad is vaping compared to smoking? Should it be banned entirely? Is it more dangerous, is it better?” Are a few major questions one thinks about vaping. The mentality of nicotine addiction and toxic chemicals that lead to cancer are what concerns the public. With vaping on the high rise of popularity, the vaping industry is collectively growing bigger with more than 3500’s shops in counting and worth billions. Vaping history goes far back but just because it has a history doesn’t make it all good. Vaping dates back to the 5th century B.C. of Egypt, where they heated up herbs on hot stones to vape on. Shisha’s or heard by the name of Hookahs came 1500 years ago in India and have spread in popularity everywhere and many places in the United States just like the e-cigarette. The idea of the e-cigarettes was made 2000’s but was not heard of until the Chinese company Hon Lik introduced them in the 2000’s, becoming a big hit in the US in 2007. Even though the creator from Hon Lik Co. had good intentions for the making of e-cigarette due to his father dying of lung cancer from smoking, vaping is still a possible force of destruction. “Despite making great strides to reduce smoking, tobacco is still our biggest killer. Our region has always kept an open mind towards using electronic cigarettes as we can see the massive potential health benefits from switching” states Lisa Surtees, acting director at Fresh Smoke Free North East. If at all compared to smoking, vaping is the safer

The most obvious problem of underage smoking is definitely that it can affect the health of smokers and other people around them. According to the American Lung Association, “smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.” (Health Effect, 2015). It causes over 438,000 deaths per year. Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard for people of all ages, causing almost one tenth of the smoking death each year (Leatherdale et al, 2011). Although underage smoking might not cause an immediate and obvious health problem, in the future, it will hurt the smokers as well as the people around them (Qi, 2015).

To begin let’s talk about the many, many health risks that are caused from smoking. I’ll start off with the biggest consequence smoking causes. Cancer. According to the CDC.gov website, nine out of ten lung cancers are caused from smoking cigarettes. And although lung cancer is the most common cancer associated with smoking, it is definitely not the only one. Smoking can cause cancer anywhere in the body. From the mouth to the colon, nothing is safe from cancer when you smoke. According to betobaccofree.gov, the chemicals in cigarettes harm your blood cells and damage your heart, increasing your likelihood of developing aneurysms, cardiovascular disease, Coronary heart disease, and strokes. Smokers also develop mouth sores and ulcers and as stated on deltadentalins.com, smokers are about 4 times more likely than non-smokers to develop gum disease. Smokers experience muscle deterioration because blood and oxygen are restricted and can’t reach the muscles.

The effects of cigarette smoking can be horrifying. Smoking is dangerous not only to those who smoke, but to non-smokers and unborn children as well. Cigarette smoking is also physically and socially harming.

Tobacco; one of the most profitable products in history, an addictive substance, and a deadly killer. Smoking tobacco used to be a thing that was endorsed in American society. Now, with the new medical advances and knowledge, society has seen the side effects of smoking and how fatal it actually is. Teenagers have been one of the largest age groups that have been affected by smoking. After analyzing all possible reasons as to why teenagers would smoke while knowing it can affect their health, three possible reasons stuck out the most. Teenagers smoke despite knowing the health problems that originate from smoking because of peer pressure, an “invincibility” mentality, and seeing a role model or family member smoke.

You may wonder what our future generation may look like because of the effects of smoking.

Hi I’m Brody Wilcox and I’m here to tell you why you shouldn’t smoke anymore but, if you continue to do it there’s no saving you.

It is estimated that 36.5 million adults smoke in the United States of America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). A cigarette contains 7,000 chemicals and 70 of those can cause cancer (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). When someone decides to smoke a cigarette, they are not only choosing to allow those toxins into their body but are imposing all those same toxins on anyone around them. Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers and is considered more dangerous then smoking the cigarette (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). Every year 480,000 people in the United States of America die because of cigarette smoking, which is the leading cause of preventable disease and death. Why has this deadly habit become such a casual part of the American life? This habit is not only harmful to the person smoking, but is hurting everyone around them. It may be their decision to smoke and cause damage to their own bodies but when they decide to smoke in public they are infringing on the rights of everyone around them right to protect their health. Smoking should be made illegal because it is not only harmful to the smokers but also causes harm to fetuses in utero, developing children and any other adults who may breathe that smoke in.

A. Have you ever gotten in trouble for doing something that you had no part in? Did you feel irritated when you had to suffer through the consequences? If so, then you are feeling the mutual hatred just like non smokers. Individuals who do not smoke are suffering from the actions of the people around them.
