Tobacco dates back to the old days when people would
chew/smoke tobacco not knowing the harm they cause, but even now with the
technology we have people still smoke. They know the risks and yet they
still use tobacco. Tobacco is an addiction that most people have problems
quitting and it kills a lot of people…and the funny thing is the people who
make tobacco don’t even care about your life or any other person’s life;
they only care about the money. But then you have to think about the people
who smoke. Do they care that they are giving tons of people second hand
smoke which also kills tons of lives? And some children even get killed
because of smoking, especially when they’re smoking too, with the new
flavored tobacco products that are meant to hook children up when they’re
young and get them to be a main customer: For Money. The Tobacco Company
pays tons of money for advertisements that lie to you, saying if you smoke
you’re cool, for guys they tell them they can get any chick they want, but
when in fact it kills you. Smoking is a health hazard for everyone on earth
and it adds to all the pollution here, and yet people still smoke. The other
day at school we had a lady come in and talk to us about tobacco prevention,
and she said smoking is like a slow form of suicide because you know the
risks and you still smoke. But sometimes certain people need to be pushed to
the edge of their comfort zone to realize what they have and decide to live
or be under the influence of smoking, so really people make up excuses as to
why they do it: because they are depressed, their parents do it, friends do
it, they’re pressured to do it, and they have no choice in the matter of
smoking or not. In the end it’s really their decision of saying no or saying
yes, they have the choice to be above the influence unless someone shoves a
tobacco product down their throat. They really can’t blame their friends or
whoever forced them to smoke. Many people never really realize what they got
until it’s gone but are you willing to risk your life because of what people
say or do? Smoking in my opinion is the easy way out of life and real life
is not a videogame where you can die and you have like 3 lives left so you
don’t make the wrong choice again…but that’s not how it works. People need
to realize they only have one life and one shot to make a difference and
leave an impression on earth, people won’t think about how cool you were for
smoking when you’re dead. In conclusion it all comes down to you: Will you
still smoke knowing the risks for the sake of what others say?
