Introduction
Attention Material: I am from a family where both of my parents dont smoke. There is although a person of my circle who smokes a lot everyday and that is my unlce. All my life I can remember him smoking and trying to quit but never being able to. The only moment in his life when it seemed completely necessary and possible for him to quit was the day he found out he had cancer, but even by then time was running out. He died in March of 2003; At some point in your

A future depends on those that are coming behind us, but with harmful substances already making their way into the lives of youth, a future could be pretty bleak.
Transition: Involvement of education and influence are only a step in any direction, the risks involved can be pretty extreme and life altering.
II. Not only does smoking affect the smoker, but those whom they share their space with. A. Second hand smoke causes just as many of the same health issues to those around a smoker and as could be produced in the smoker. As reported by the Center for Disease Control, illness from smoking ranges from lung cancer, ischemic heart disease, and chronic airway obstruction as well as shortening a person's lifespan averaging 13.2 years for me and 14.5 years for women (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion). These are risks that many smokers know may just be regurgitated facts, but is not hearing them once more another chance to decide that health is better than a cigarette? Much of the health issues that society deals with today would be greatly decreased if more and more people began to quit smoking.
Transition: Prevention can be found
Many smokers, like Sload, take their first puffs in college. Other students experiment with cigarettes in high school but start smoking heavily in college. Everyone I surveyed and interviewed is aware that smoking was responsible for the deaths of many people every year. They know it increased the risk of heart attack and stroke and adversely affects breathing and the lungs. And like smokers of any age, many college students are actively trying to quit. Mandie Sload knows that for or five cigarettes a day were four or five too many. She plans to quit someday. She understands that if she quits her breath will smell better;
Discussing how it would affect your mind and physical health. Knowing there are many influence factors that has a big role in many people starting to smoke. The first would be family history/background. This is most common factor because most people start when they was a child/ teenager. This would be coming from homes where family members smoke around the children’s, and the children tend to follow the parents. Children sometimes love to imitate their parents and any older sibling they think is acceptable to do (Wiley, 2011). Another great factor would be peer pressure; it is so similar to family history as well. Young teen’s younger children see their friend doing it and they get so much help and encouragement to try and do it. Some feel as though they may lose their friendship or “cool points” with their friends, which is so much more important to them. Not knowing the more you hang with the friends that smoke, the more you’re going to smoke until your now become addicted on your own. Now you can no longer quit, it becomes hard and uncontrollably hard to quit. Once again smoking doesn’t just affect the smoker it also affect the co-workers at the workplace, but for the smoker you would start needing unscheduled smoke breaks. Why? Because
in order to sustain a healthier life style. This essay seeks to illustrate the impact of smoking on a
Smoking is an addiction that can risk one’s health, which in turn can lead to death. As time advances, both smokers and non-smokers are beginning to understand the harm in this deadly habit because not only does it harm smokers, it can impact anyone who encounters the smoke second-hand. Since the public has become aware of the health risks induced by smoking, cessation tools such as nicotine replacement therapy are being invented to help terminate the desire to smoke. As technology improves, smoking devices like the electronic cigarette are invented and can be considered an effective cessation tool. Electronic cigarettes can deliver low doses of nicotine to ease withdrawal symptoms. Furthermore, as electronic cigarettes increase in
I was a smoker for 13 years. I the first cigarette at the age of 17, during a stressful summer night, stopping at a corner shop, after getting off the difficult high school/technical school I attended, and graduated from (It was an institution of morning and evening attendance in order to obtain highschool diploma with a technical career). My first cigarette was not to my liking, as this caused a very uncomfortable burning sensation in the throat, nose and mouth. I remember my inner voice saying "smoking is not for me." Days passed, and final exams were approaching. Everything became more difficult. I remember most of my friends smoked to reduce school stress, or to have more fun going out to party. My family always gave me good advice on avoiding addictions, and bad habits; but when I saw all my friends smoking, I felt like a stranger within their circle. I don 't remember exactly when or how, but I disobeyed my inner voice and ended up like my friends. Suddenly I was Smoking "just to reduce stress" and to look “cool” in social events.
Thesis Statement: Even though some people think smoking is in style, people should stop smoking because smoking affect a smoker, but not only that it affect the non-smoker as well.
B. With intense and thorough research, I have seen that smoking in public does not only affect the person, but also has an impact on the surrounding people and environment.
The only way to avoid the risks of smoke is to avoid places where smoking occurs. That can be done by making sure family, friends, and visitors never smoke inside your house or vehicle, thus helping to keep the house smoke-free by. Choose to eat in restaurants that are smoke-free as non-smoking sections do not provide protection from secondhand
Smoking is a one of the major cause of increased mortality. More than 80% of smokers develop Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), making it one of the leading causes of death in the world (p.786). Smoking Cessation or quitting smoking is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce the risk of COPD. The article “Evaluating the effectiveness of smoking cessation in the management of COPD” shows the various ways to control the disease by discontinuing the nicotine intake from smoking. The author explains that pharmacotherapy (nicotine replacement therapy) and nurses counselling conjointly can play an important role in the management of COPD.

When you are a smoker you are making the decision to damage your own body, but little do you know you are also damaging everyone else's body that you are in the room with. John

Smoking is an expensive habit. People who smoke cigarettes can spend as much as $2,500 a year on them. Smokers’ claim that it helps relax them and it releases stress but the negative aspects of smoking outweigh the positive. Smoking is a health hazard for smokers and non-smokers. Smokers should have the right to choose what to do with their own health but they should respect non-smokers. Many people believe that there are good and bad outcomes from smoking. I believe that smoking is bad and that it should be banned.
Cigarette smoking is something people all over the world have been doing for about 2000 years. Back in 2003, the first electronic cigarette was successfully created by a gentleman named Hon Lik. Lik was a 52 year old pharmacist at the time, whom of which was also a smoker. The inspiration behind making the electronic cigarette came after Lik’s father passed away from lung cancer due to him also being a heavy smoker. “A Historical Timeline of Electronic Cigarettes.” cassia.org. Consumer Advocates for Smoke Free Alternatives Association, 15 June 2017. The idea behind creating this device was to give smokers a way to still ingest nicotine, the most addictive chemical in tobacco cigarettes, without the countless negative health effects that
