“Smoke is a habit that drains your money and kills you slowly, one puff after another. QUIT SMOKING . . . START LIVING!”. Most people who smoke tobacco start during their teenage years or as a young adult. There are many reasons why a person starts to smoke. For some teens, it is a way to rebel against their parents. Other teens may feel pressure from their friends (peer pressure) and begin smoking as a way to appear “cool” . Smoking can affect every part of the body from your skin to your brain. Outside the lungs smoking causes heart attacks, strokes and cancer. On average, smokers live 10 years less than non-smokers.. The disadvantages of smoking is that it causes lung cancer which is very bad for your health. Also can damage your heart so if you don't get cancer you will die instead.

Argument

Smoking causes death, strokes, and also heart attacks. These are very bad things that can happen to you. People who want to smoke just want to act cool.Teenagers do this for attention. But why can’t they do this by doing something healthy? Does it have to be something that causes all of these?

If you have asthma, tobacco smoke can trigger an attack or make an attack worse. Smokers are 12 to 13 times more likely to die from COPD than nonsmokers. Think about what you are eating and inhaling. You will always find something that contains something bad!
