SMOKE IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH

A lot of people especially  teenagers, who do not smoke, always want to try smoking. They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to try. I  am  sure  that  you  know  that  smoking  harms  your  body. There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t smoke. Some of them are that smoking affects your health, that you spend a lot of money on cigarettes, and that when you smoke you are not respecting people around you.

The first reason why you shouldn’t smoke is that smoking affects your health. If you  smoke,  your  physical  condition  will  be  negatively  affected, smoking produces lethal diseases like cancer and reduces the length and quality of your life. Maybe you don’t notice all the physical effects of smoking immediately, but you surely will be sorry one day.

The second  reason why  you shouldn’t smoke is  because of all the money  that you spend on it. Maybe you start smoking only when someone offers you a cigarette, but there will be a day when you will feel the need of a cigarette. By this time, you will pay whatever to smoke, so you will spend more money.  All  the  money  you  would  spend  on  cigars  could  have  be  spent  in  something better, don’t you think?

The last reason why you shouldn’t smoke is out of respect for the people around you. When  you smoke, you not only harm  yourself, but  you also harm all the people around  you. So  you mustn’t be selfish.  You should at least avoid smoking in front of people  who  don’t  smoke.

I have said just some reasons of why you shouldn’t smoke, so I hope that now those of you who smoke are able to think a little and try to make a smart decision. Many people  want to quit smoking. Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult.  I would like you to think about how much you love yourself and then whether you want to continue harming yourself. Well, still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker, you should never and never try to smoke.
