Smoking is not Good for Health

Smoking is a common thing to see in our environment. Nowadays, we can easily find
smokers everywhere. They are actually aware that smoking is dangerous but they do it
anyway. Some of them believe that smoking is a way to connect with other people. Some
others believe that smoking actually helps them to stay focus, but In my opinion smoking
brings nothing good for us and it is totally useless.
Firstly, there is no beneficial substance in a cigarette. All substance in a cigarette is
dangerous. If we break it down and put it in a list, here are the substance of a cigarette and its
effect toward the body: Carcinogens: substance that can cause cancer, Toxic Metals: metal
compound that can harm our health, Radioactive Toxic Metals, and various Poisons such as
Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide and Nicotine. It is clear now that there is
no useful material that we can take from a cigarette.
Secondly, smoking actually wastes your precious time. Some smokers may claim that
they enjoy their cigarette while working, so it is like multitasking for them. But the truth is
that they just don’t realize that they actually waste some of their precious time by smoking.
Every time a smoker takes a sip of smoke from his or her cigar, it takes at least seven seconds
of their time. Let’s do the math and find out how many seconds that they throw away if it
takes at least seven sips to finish a cigarette. They would have thrown away forty nine
seconds of their time to finish a cigarette and nine minutes and forty eight seconds to finish a
pack of cigarette. That sounds so useless to me because after spending that nine precious
minutes you completely gain nothing but damage to your body internally.
Lastly, smoking means that you burn your money, literally. It sounds classic in our
ear, but clearly there are still so many people who don’t get the meaning because the fact says
that the number of smokers increase by year. We buy something for a reason. But when you
buy a pack of cigarette, what is your reason? It doesn’t contain any vitamin for you to take. It
doesn’t even contain a dangerous enough material for you to suicide.
In conclusion, the effects of smoking are very harmful not only to the smokers
themselves, but also to all people around them. It can cause several health problems such as
cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease. Furthermore, smoking will also affect
the health of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers as well as their baby. Smoking is really
good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit.
Smoking however is not good for everybody else.
