Imagine a world that is smoke free. Everyday people are dying or being hospitalized for years of smoking. No one is taking this situation seriously. Company owners think if they just make a few places smoke free it is going to fix everything, but it will not. Smoking cigarettes is extremely dangerous. Smoking Cigarettes should be made illegal. They are harmful to the human body and will destroy in a slow process. There is the idea that teens think they look a certain way, also how doctors are realizing how hazardous smoking really is the human body and last but not least the advertising.
People smoke cigarettes because of popularity. According to Susan Dominus who wrote “Teen Smoking: An Overview” teens think smoking looks sexy or cool or hope they will help them lose weight or make them feel less dependent on their parents. This is true, there are many teens out there that think if they have a cigarette in their hand it will get their crush to like them or maybe they will fit in. At that moment it may seem okay, but no one actually thinks of the consequences later on. Most heavy smokers that are around today started when they were teens because of those reasons.
Smoking cigarettes is a huge health hazard. According to the article “Smoking is harmful to Human Health”, there are about 1.2 billion smokers in the world; half of them will die younger than average from cancer, heart disease, emphysema or other types of smoking diseases. People that smoke are going to get some kind of illness as they grow old. Even younger kids that smoke they start to show little side effects like coughing. Miscarriages are more likely to happen to smokers along with not being able to see as well or losing it all together. If cigarette smoking was illegal all of these health concerns and deaths would decrease. (Brodish, Paul) There is no way that smoking can help anyone throughout life.
