Smoking

People smoke for the fun of it without thinking the damage they are going to cause to themselves. Smoking is a deadly substance when abused too much. It is the same as alcohol, and also can be accessed by teens easily as well. Teenagers and sometimes even younger children have access to cigarettes. They cross these harmful things because they get influence by others and want to look cool in front of their friends. This is very bad because cigarettes have many harmful chemicals. These chemicals can cause very serious illnesses such as cancer, which in some cases it results in death. Unfortunately teenagers are victims of this also that affects their life greatly in the long run. When someone smokes too much, it starts to affect their body, especially their lungs. Our lungs take in everything we breathe, when you smoke, all your taking into your body, is harmful smoke. After some time of smoking your lungs start to look black and not normal. This affects your breathing, when you can’t breathe right; you get tired fast and start coughing. Now normally this starts happening to older people, but this also happens to young teenagers, which are still young and healthy. Once their lungs get infected, their healthy body is gone. They no longer can run and play sports that they loved. Cigarettes are one of those products that are still legal even though, they are the cause for thousands of deaths every year. They should be made illegal, to stop this madness, and save millions of people’s lives now and in the future, including teenagers.
