Smoking

The issue that I want to specialized in my teen life project is about smoking.

Smoking is very bad for humans, it causes cancer, emphysema that are problems to breathe, and heart disease. Smoking can short your life by 14 years or more, but people that get this habit becomes a person addict to smoke, this addiction is very difficult to get out. Once you start, it’s had to stop, because a cigarette contains nicotine, whi is highly addictive, Like heroin or others addictive drugs, the body and your mind become used to the nicotine that a person need to have it just to feel normal. Smoker doesn’t begins as an adult, some statistics show that tobacco users start before they’re 18 years old. They are some teenagers that say that they start smoking because they think it helps them look older, others teen smoke because they think it helps them relax, (when you smoke your heart beats more faster). Others start smoking because their friends start smoking.

Some people specially girls start smoking because they think it may help keep their weight down. Smoking illness like Cancer or lung diseases, cause weight loss, but his is not a good way to loss weight. Also other reasons why people smoke is because their family smoke.
There are not reasons to start smoking, because your body doesn’t need tobacco, your body needs food, water, sleep, and exercise. The chemical that the cigarettes have are lot but the most powerful and addictive is the nicotine and the cyanide, these chemicals are poisons that can kill you in a very high dose. When you take the first taste of the cigarette you feel like your throat and lungs are burning, and some people feel sick or throw up the first few times they taste it. Over the long time they are smoking they develop health problems like cancer, emphysema, organ damage and heart disease. Each time a smoker start smoking that cigarette takes about five to twenty minutes off the person’s life.


Smokers develop yellow teeth, and loose bones density and when this happens it creates a illness called osteoporosis that causes that your bones break more easily. Smokers becomes less active than people that doesn’t smoke because smoke affect lungs power. Smoking can also cause fertility problems in men and women and can cause problem in the sexual health in males.
Nicotine and other toxins can cause the following problems:
Bad breath: Cigarettes leave smokers something called halitosis, or bad breath.
it's hard to get the smell of smoke out.
Greater risk of injury and slower healing time: Sports injuries, can cause damage to tendons and ligaments. Smoking Is Expensive
Smoking is expensive. Smoking not only damage health, it cost a lot of money.

I think that smoking is a very important issue that the world have to carry about. I am doing this resaerch about smoking because I thing that smoke stinks I hate the smell of the cigarette and also I don't like it because when you smell it second - hand smoking happen and is the same has if you were smokin, so I think that smoking should be illegal in all the world, because when you are near a cigarette they are invading your privacy of to smell sopmething good like your enviroment. I hope you like my research.

I want to expand my reserch on why does teen start smoking?
