WHY SMOKING IS HAZORDOUS

In this report I will tell you the dangers of smoking. Smoking is one of the most
preventable causes of death in our society. About one in five deaths in the US are
results from using tobacco. More then half of all tobacco uses die much earlier then
their normal life expectancy. Smokers could be losing an average of 20 to 25 years of
their life. Smoking has numerous other effects as well. It leaves you reeking of smoke,
yellows your teeth and hands, can give u respiratory and cardiovascular problems, and
cause you to leave on the street due to the fact that your broke.
Smoking is an expensive habit. The average cost of a pack is $3.00 and the average smoker
smokes a pack a day. In one year that's wasting about $1095 or more a year! That's a lot
of money. The Tobacco industry makes billions of dollars each year off addicted smokers.
The company adds nicotine, which is addictive to their cigarettes to try and prevent you
from not buying their products. The nicotine can raise your blood pressure, heart rate,
and the oxygen demand for muscles, mainly in the heart. This causes you to need deeper
breaths after running or physical exercise and lessens your ability to perform well
during sport activities. Second-hand smoke also affects others as well as you. 
Secondhand smoke comes from two places; smoke breathed out by the person who smokes, and
smoke from the end of a burning cigarette. Secondhand smoke causes health effects,
including cancer, breathing problems, and asthma. Secondhand smoke contains thousands of
chemicals and majority of them are posions. Secondhand smoke is responsible for between
150,000 and 300,000 respiratory infections in infants and children under 18 months.
Around the same number of adults occur similar problems each year. About 37,000
non-smokers die each year because of it. A person who doesn't smoke married to a smoker
has a 30% greater chance of getting lung cancer than the wife/husband of a nonsmoker.

you'll digest your food more ordinarily, feel more alive, it'll be easier to climb
stairs, no yellow teeth from the build up of tar, no bad breath and no odor, and the most
important thing is that you'll live longer. Now there are programs in your local areas to
help you stop smoking. You can purchases over the counter smoking gum. It is never too
late to quit so it is easier to quit now than later. 
I would not want this happening to me so that's why I'm against smoking. I told you that
it could give you negative personal effects, expensive to continue and can change you
life. People might thinks it "cool" to smoke but it's really not. I hope this was a very
persuasive speech and had you convinced.
