How bad smoking is…By: Dakota Bridges
Smoking is really bad for you and you know it. When you smoke it kills you earlier in your life. It gives you cancer. It has tar in it and nicotine in the cigarettes. Take time off your life and your loved ones. Why shouldn’t you smoke? There’s so many reasons let take a look.
The first fact we are going to look at is the one that it takes years off your life. More than 400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year are from smoking-related sickness. Here is just a few of them Allergies, Lung Cancer, Cataracts, Heart Disease, Infertility, Strokes, Bladder cancer, Gum disease, Kidney cancer, Gangrene, many upper respiratory disease and ulcers and many more. So think about that. Do you want any of these? I bet not. How would you feel if you died on one of you family members leaving them with no money, no job, and no one to help take care of your children? The life expectancy of a smoker is 8.3 years less when compared to non-smokers. That is broken down to 12-14 minutes per cigarette.
Now we are going to talk about what the certain cancers do to you. The first one is mouth cancer it makes it so you need to get part of you cheek removed and part of your butt in place of that. How does that sound. The next one is throat cancer that can make it so you have to have you voice box removed and so you have to use a vibrate thing to talk the rest of your. Next is lung cancer. Lung cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in the United States. Around 38,500 people are diagnosed in the US each year. Think about that you could be one of the 38,500 people in the US who get it. That is sad isn’t it? The last one I am going to talk about is Kidney cancer in adults; the most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma, which begins in the cells that line the small tubes within your kidneys. Children are more likely to develop a kind of kidney cancer called Wilma' tumor. The American Cancer Society estimates that almost 51,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with kidney cancer each year. That is some sad thing to die from. Well you can prevent that if you stop smoking and don’t start.
The biggest thing is 2nd hand smoke. It kills you slow and kills the people around you even faster. The ratio is for every three you smoke it is like one for the person around you so if you smoke 27 a day then they have smoked 9 in that day. Each smoke you have is taking off 12-14 min and multiply that by the 27 you smoke and the nice that you gave to your spouse or child. The death rate each year of 2nd had smoked is 53,000. That is a lot. What about the chemicals. At least 50 of the 4000 chemicals found in second-hand smoke are known to cause cancer, including hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and formaldehyde and sulpher dioxide. Think about that when you smoke.
I got all of this info off the internet. There were at least 75, 00 sites for each one. I personally have had no one die from smoking but I have friend who have. It was their mom, or their dad or even there grandparent. I hope you learned something from this paper. I hope you stop smoking. Thank you for listing and reading this.
