Smoking

Smoking causes many problems. One single cigarette will shorten your life by twenty minutes. Here are a few other problems.

Half of smokers will die because of smoking-related diseases. 35 year-olds who stop smoking will live on average 8.5 years longer than smokers who don't stop.

30% of all cancers are smoking-related. Lung cancer kills more Koreans than any other cancer. People who smoke will get cancer more easily. Smokers are 21 times more likely of developping cancer than non-smokers.

Smokers are also likely of developping diseases such as brain thrombosis or arterial thrombosis which are very deadly.

Smokers tend to have bad breath and yellow teeth. They are therefore likely to lose their neighbours.

Second-hand smoke.
Cigarettes have filters that cut down some of the chemicals found in tabacco. Other people directly inhale the cancer-causing smoke. It will therefore be even more harmful to people surrounding the smoker.

Smoking is definately bad for us. These days smokers are becoming younger and younger. Here are some even more serious problems.

Teenagers don't yet have fully grown organs that they are more likely to damage.

The same goes for the brain. It is not fully matured yet. Because tobacco is so addictive, young smokers will not be likely to quit or seek professinal help on how to quit. Students who get caught smoking will lose points at school.

The bottom line is smoking is very unhealthy and it should be banned. Smoking kills.
