Smoking Cigarettes

I think people shouldn't smoke. The reason is, is because it makes your lungs black, your teeth turn yellow, fingers where you hold them get yellow, it also can give cancer, you die sooner, and it makes you very unpleasant to be around. I think people who start smoking are nuts. They should worry about how it will affect them and other people. How it will affect other people is by when they breathe in air they will start breathing smoke air witch is called second-hand smoke, and it also can cause cancer too. I feel sorry for the kids that are young and are smoking. They should know that hundreds of people are dying everyday because they had smoked before. I think that people who don't smoke are protecting their life and the people who do smoke are not protecting andt aking care of their life. That is why I think kids and adults should not even start thinking about smoking but what they should start thinking about is on how they help people who are smoking stop. Even if you just take a little puff, you still can get very ill. That is why you should never start to smoke because once you start you won't be able to stop. That is why you should never smoke. Remember always say No to smoking!!! Smoking, There's No Way Out
