Not only is smoking costly to your health but it is also costly to your bank account. A single pack of cigarettes cost around 5 to 6 dollars! Now imagine spending 6 dollars a day on a pack of cigarettes 365 days. You could be spending that money on so many other things. Such as a nice date with your girlfriend/boyfriend or perhaps on concert tickets for a night out with friends.
Is the hole money leave in your pocket worth it to you?

I personally do not understand smoking. Like pointed out above it is bad for one in multiple ways. It wastes money and it can cause one to have very serious health problems.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to see how you present the Opposing Viewpoints for this topic.
ReplyDeleteSmoking is such a bad habit to get into! It causes so many unnecessary problems and will end up killing you. Smoking controls your life and it is not only bad for yourself but the people around you. I cannot stand it when I see mothers and fathers with their strollers outside smoking with their babies! I want to say something but it is not my place.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i agree. I hate smoking. For one, it eventually kills you and it's a huge waste of money. I personally think the US should make tobacco illegal, like pot and cocaine. ^^
ReplyDeleteWell i don't like smoking or even the smell so im against it but my dad is a tobacco distributer and thats his job to support our family so i don't care about smoking as long as he has a job!!
ReplyDeleteI think that smoking is a bad habit. I agree. Also, it hurts your health. In a way I think it should be ilegal but at the same time i don't. The reason why it should be illegal is because it makes me sick to think people make money off hurting others. At the same time, it will be like prohibition of alcohol. It won't do anything to stop anything.
ReplyDeleteI agree, smoking is very bad for your health. And can get very expensive. There really is no point to even doing it. I think the tobacco industry just needs to stop selling cigarettes all together, to help save our world. The smoke is polluting our planet, and its harming every one around us.
ReplyDeleteIm not against smokeing but i do agree that tobacco industrys should limmit the ammount of chemicals that they put inside them. This would help cut back on health risks and enviormental pollution.
