Did you know  smoking causes 1,300 deaths in a day? that’s 9,100 people dieing in a week. Hi I’m Sam and today I will be talking about  why smoking should be banned. What’s the point of smoking? Yes, I know that it becomes a habit,but it wouldn’t have happened if you wouldn’t have started smoking in the first place! It always keeps me thinking why does smoking even exist because Weverything that is man made has a purpose so what is the purpose of smoking?

Cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing compounds and 400 other toxins. Why do teenagers and adults start smoking? well,the most common explanation is that when kids and teenagers see adults smoking especially their family members they grow the habit and start smoking themselves.

People start smoking when they are in their teens and are addicted by the time they reach adulthood. Some have tried to quit but have returned to cigarettes because smoking is such a strong addiction. It is a habit that is very difficult to break.

There are many different reasons why smoking is bad! For example, The tar sticks to clothing, skin, and the insides of our lungs! With the nicotine and tar working together, there are a lot of bad diseases linked to smoking cigarettes. Diseases like throat cancer and heart disease are all caused by smoking.

Nicotine is highly addictive. Smokers find it very hard to quit because they are hooked on the nicotine. ... If cigarettes and other tobacco products had no nicotine, the number of people who smoke every day would drop drastically.

I think I have proven to you why smoking should be banned! Thank you for listening to my speech, I hope I have made a positive impact on the choices you might make later on in life. Thank you for listening.
