-A Current Event Written By Me In 2017
Around 1,000,000 people so far this year lost their lives from excessive smoking. That number is rising by 1 person in the world every ten seconds. Smoking is a big problem in the world as you can see in these numbers. We’ll have to make these numbers smaller by telling people not to start smoking in the first place. It’ll take some time but soon, people will stop smoking! (not everyone)
Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical that can be found in cigarettes, cigars and other objects. When someone smokes a cigarette, the nicotine goes into that person’s lungs then, it gets absorbed into the bloodstream. After consuming nicotine many times, the person gets addicted to smoking and it’ll definitely be hard for him to stop. He also will become psychologically and physically addicted. That means it will be hard for him to stop from his mind and his actions. There are way more facts about smoking that I won’t be able to tell but, my topic will still be about smoking addictions.
E-cigarettes stand for electric cigarettes. E- cigarettes often use a heating substance that people inhale called vape. Nicotine may be helpful for adults who are addicted to cigarettes. But that can be very harmful to kids and teenagers. That’s why many teens think that vaping is putting less harm into your body because it is a nicotine free product. Vaping also can come in different flavors which makes it more attractive. But new studies show that vaping can be also harmful to kids even if it’s nicotine free.
They show that vaping can actually kill brain cells. Some of them are actually toxic. Irfan Rahman from the University of Rochester took a test to see which certain flavors of vaping liquids are the most poisonous. He says these candy and fruity flavors makes teens want to have it. Instead of the human exposing the chemical, he tested it out on a dish. They later found out that some of those vaping liquids were slightly toxic. They included cinnamon and cotton candy.
I don’t think it is necessary to smoke because it can be harmful to your lungs. There are many people out there who die from excessive smoking. Smoking can actually lead to lung cancer which is the number 1 cause of death in smoking. However, I think people shouldn’t even try to start smoking. It can lead to addictions which will be hard to stop and then you’ll have to deal with you potentualy dying.
