I know, I know, everyone is told not to smoke because it is bad for you, but what does it actually do to you? Why shouldn’t you do it? At first, you feel pain and burning in the throat and lungs; your body’s way of telling you to be smoke-free. Your body knows when something poisonous is in you, and it is warning you not to do it, yet so many people do. Smoking can cause cancer and heart disease; in fact, 1300 people die each day from smoking alone! The Medical News Today article “Why Is Smoking Bad For You?” states, “Smoking shortens the life of a male by about twelve years and the life of a female by about eleven years.” Just by making one bad decision can cause you at least ten fewer years of living. It is more dangerous for females to reproduce when they smoke. They can have a premature birth, miscarriage, low birth weight, and much more. Just thinking about it can make your heart sink, especially when a new human is involved. Smoking hurts your lungs and heart, plus makes it difficult for blood to move around in your body.
Not only the inside of your body is being affected, but also what you are on the outside. This can include bad breath, yellow teeth, smelly clothes, colds, coughs, and difficulty with sports. The smell of smoking is one of the hardest odors to get rid of. So when you see friends and family, they may smell your breath, car, house, clothes, and that is something you don’t want to be known for. Not only is your health at risk, so is your wallet. A pack of cigarettes is about six dollars, so if you bought a pack each week, that would cost $312 a year! If you buy a pack each day (yes, people smoke a whole pack in just one day!), that would be $2,190!! Think about how much you could buy with that, but instead you buy cigarettes. And, if you start smoking early, you are going to spend thousands of dollars on poisonous things. After reading this, is it really worth smoking?
