The Smoking Curse by Yoav

1/4/2012

10 Comments

 
Picture
Have you ever thought to yourself "Should I be smoking cigarettes?" The answer is NO ... it's bad for you health, it causes pollution for our planet, and it's bad for people in your surroundings.


Smoking cigarettes is definitely terrible for your health. If you smoke, you WILL get cancer, and you don't want that to happen. Smoking will also make you less smart and can hurt your ability to do your job successfully if your lungs are damaged. Furthermore, smoking can damage your memory, and you will not be able to have a conversation with anybody. All in all, smoking will destroy your body.

Smoking also causes pollution, and pollution is very bad. If you smoke, you will speed up the progress of air pollution. Air pollution will eventually cause you, your family and your friends to die. Do you want that? When you smoke, the chemicals in cigarettes go up into the gases in the atmosphere. This weakens the atmosphere so more heat comes in. If people keep smoking, people will die.

Lastly, smoking is terrible for the people surrounding the smoker. Once when I was five, I was walking on the street and someone was smoking. When I walked by him, his cigarette gave me a burn! The worst thing is that cigarette smoke can kill newborns! Secondhand smoke is unfair to all the people who chose not to smoke.

In conclusion, smoking is bad for your health, it causes pollution to the environment, and it is terrible for the surrounding people. It really should be illegal.

While I believe that smoking increases the risks of many of the calamities you identify, and while I think it's a smelly and disgusting habit, I was just wondering where you did your research because I did not know that all the terrible things you mention are guaranteed to happen as a result of smoking. Afterall, smoking was a far prevalent habit in the US many years ago and yet the population of people who smoked during that time is living longer and getting older all the time. I have personal friends in their 60s, 70s and indeed 80s who smoked all their lives and have not experienced the things you mention. Just a thought and thank you for this thought-provoking essay.

Dear Yoav,

While your point that smoking is bad for your health is well taken, I have to disagree about making it illegal.

Let me justify my position: smoking is indeed a risk factor for many illnesses including cancer (e.g. lung, pancreatic...), respiratory diseases such as asthma and heart disease (the number one cause of mortality in developed countries). However, I believe in freedom of choice. As long as your behavior does not impact others, you are (as an adult) responsible for your poor lifestyle choices and their consequences.

I will caveat this with two comments:
1) second hand smoke has also been associated with an increased risk of certain diseases such that your smoking habit might impact those around you. Laws should then be in place to protect citizens against second-hand smoke. In fact, most restaurants and planes which are enclosed spaces have a non-smoking policy.
2) in a socialized medicine country (where the state takes care of part or all of its citizens healthcare bills, which I think is a wonderful concept), treating people with lung cancer due to smoking does impact others financially. So this is a tough one.

So help me understand something, why do you think so many people smoke if it's bad for them?

lovingly,
mom

I agree. Did you know that cigars are made of a plant that causes addiction?

Dear Yoav,

I totally agree: smoking is bad for people and it will cause major sicknesses.You made a good point when you said people are actually smoking when they choose not to though second hand smoking. I think that that is very unfair. Awesome blog post!

Yoav, i agree with you, when I was reading a Ramona Quimby book, " Ramona and Her Father" Ramona's father smocks, Ramona and Beezus did not like it, so Ramona and Beezus made a bunch of posters telling their father to stop smocking, but Mr. Quimby got super annoyed, and Beezus got super angry, and she told her father about how she is trying to stop other people from smocking, and that it makes your lungs turn black, and you cough a lot, and Ramona belived Beezus, and you should to.P.S. My dad smocks , and I do not like it.
