15 - Anti-Smoking Campaign

 

Why are cigarettes legal? That is the question that ran in my head so many times, to be honest. I'm curious as to why they are legal and marijuana is not.  I'm just really curious because think about it: Marijuana doesn't really kill people, but cigarettes do. Marijuana is addictive, but so are cigarettes. Marijuana can cure sickness, but cigarettes don't. I'm not trying to say that marijuana is good and that it should be legal, no. My point is, shouldn't it also be illegal? I think it threatens people's health more than marijuana. Cigarettes are deadly. I think cigarettes should be illegal because not only it affects the smoker, but also other people who likes to keep themselves healthy, like me. I'm not smoking for a reason and that is to keep myself healthy, but how could I if people around me are smoking?  Second-hand smoking is even more dangerous than first-hand. Smokers exhale it, then other people would inhale it. I hate to be blunt, but it's disgusting. It affects other people's health, too. And of course, it's also bad for the Earth because it heightens the global warming. It adds up to global warming and pollution. Come on, people. We've got to help ourselves and our environment. No offense to smokers, but I'm just stating my opinion. Well, you could smoke, but you should probably lessen it. Maybe, a cigarette or two per day, not 1 ream a day. (I'm not encouraging you to smoke.) Though I still think that it should be banned because it's all for our own good. It'll keep us and the environment healthy and make our lives last longer.

 

 See the difference between a smoker's lungs and a non-smoker's lungs? Don't you want to keep your lungs healthy? Aren't you scared that your lungs will look like that? So if I were you, I'd think twice before smoking.
