Cigarette smoking should be banned

Hi everyone
This is my speech on why I believe cigarette smoking should be banned . My whole class did speeches last week. We were learning how to write an argument speech which was based on our opinions.

Cigarette Smoking should be banned.
Have you ever smoked a cigarette? What is a cigarette? A cigarette is a thin cylinder of finely cut tobacco rolled in paper for smoking. People suck  the smoke into their lungs because it makes them feel good. I believe that cigarette smoking should be banned and here are my reasons.


     ðŸ˜Ž2
Firstly, when you breathe in the smoke it makes you feel good because tobacco contains lots of chemicals that go straight to your brain. Cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. But these chemicals get into your lungs as well. So smoking cigarettes is the number-one way to get  lung cancer..If you choose to light another cigarette, you are damaging the rest of your body. Studies have also shown that smoking causes heart disease and stroke.


     ðŸ˜Ž3
Secondly, when you smoke you get bad breath, wrinkles and brown teeth and fingers.
The wrinkles are caused by lack of your oxygen to your skin in your skin. The average smoker smokes 5.5 cigarettes per day.That smoking can cause cancer only if one smokes at least 19.4 cigarettes per day.




     ðŸ˜Ž4
Thirdly, with your lungs slowly rotting, the costs to see the doctor will rise and you won’t be able to afford it because you will have no money. Cigarettes are really expensive. For instance, if you smoke a pack of 20 cigarettes for an average of $22 a day, you're spending around $8000 a year.
Once you think about all the things you can do with the money you'll save when you don't smoke you will certainly want to stop!   



   ðŸ˜Ž5
So, I’m absolutely sure you will agree that the government should ban cigarettes.
Without cigarettes our world will be full of healthy, beautiful people who all have plenty of money.Start today. Throw those cigarettes away. Stop smoking, like food, health care ,rent and much much more.
