Why You Shouldn’t Smoke

Smoking is bad for you! Smoking  causes 1,300 deaths a day and has other bad effects. Let’s get started!

It’s bad for your health. It causes cancer and stroke. Every cigarette you smoke shortens your life expectancy by 11 minutes. That might  not be long but if you smoke 1 a day, for a year, then your life will be shortened by 4,015 minutes!  The average smoker lives around 14 years shorter or so. About 4,000 kids between 12-17 start their first day of smoking but 1,000 of them keep on doing it. About ½ of people who smoke actually die from smoke related diseases. “Smoking can also contribute to heart and blood vessel problems, including heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.” By MediResource Clinical Team. Also even if you secretly smoke and you have children, they will be affected by the smoke.



It costs a lot of money. Every cigarette packet costs 6 dollars on average or more.That might not be a lot but cigarettes are highly addictive. So if you buy a packet a day,  for a year, that’ll be 2,190$ in a year, maybe you could donate that! So 2,190x 70 is 153, 300$. People are super crazy if they smoke and probably are going to die very SOON, yes with all capitals but  why do they start smoking? Maybe because they A. Think they are cool (which they aren’t of course) or B. Peer pressure.
