TABAQUISM
Presently, one of three smokers dies because of this addiction. It is a huge cause of deaths all around the world and people now consume it at a younger age than the usual. The age people start smoking has changed through the years and this can be very harmful to our society and our future generations. If tobacco is a drug that is actually killing and harming many people, why is it still legal? It is necessary to realize the damage this drug is making to our community and how it can really affect us at long terms.
A big cause of death is tabaquism, and people who smoke do know this but they still keep smoking, but why? Every cigarette box has pictures and announcements of the harm tobacco do to our body but they still don’ t care and keep doing so. Smoking tobacco is cause of lung cancer, which is a horrible disease and very difficult to treat with it. There are many other bad consequences for smoking such as bad breath and yellow teeth, which are more than the good things a smoker could name about it. So if there are so many bad things about it and less good ones, why do people keep on consuming it instead of leaving this drug?
Nowadays the average age that people start smoking is around 12 and 13 years old. The starting age to star smoking has changed and this can tell us that the people have changed. A main reason for people to start doing this as such a young age is because of the things kids see their parents doing. Many parents smoke in front of their children and they will then think of it as something normal and may start doing it too. Another reason is because of their friends, who invite other kids to try new things and some of them may be not good things, like smoking in some cases. Doing this at a young age may affect the children badly and if it becomes an addiction it may become a problem in their adult life too.
