Smoking is said to be bad for the health. Also, society started to think about non smokers. For example, dividing seats into non smokers and smokers in the restaurant or smoking is banned in all the taxis in Kanagawa prefecture. Therefore, smokers are having a hard time. Today, I would like smokers to stop smoking by explaining how smoking affects you and others, and how you can stop smoking.

  Smokers, I have a bad news to tell you. Non smokers can live 5-8 years longer than you. Simply, you will lose 5 minutes and 30 seconds of your lifetime by smoking 1 cigarette. If you start smoking from an illegal age, you would live shorter. If you start smoking from high school, your life would shortened by 10 years. You would live 15 years shorter if you start smoking from junior high school. Nicotine and carbon monoxide are mainly causing sickness like lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, or asthma. Especially, you are likely to get laryngeal cancer by 32-100 times compared to non smokers.

  Smoking affects others, too. Smokers mainly intake mainstream smoke, while non smokers those who are near to smokers mainly intake secondhand smoke. This is because mainstream smoke comes through inside the tobacco while secondhand smoke isn’t and contains a lot of harmful substances. Passive smoking can cause 5 times likely to get lung cancer or it may cause premature birth or a miscarriage for women and tympanitis for children.

  Fortunately, health insurance will be applied by retreatments. You can choose from nicotine patches, nicotine gums, or tablets without containing nicotine prescribed by doctors. If you stop smoking, there are a lot of benefits like you can breath, smell, or taste better than before. I would like to say one thing that if you start to quit smoking, never ever smoke again. Just one cigarette will rewind you to the beginning.

  By looking at these facts, there is no benefit of smoking. Smokers are stinky and have dirty teeth. Smokers and their surroundings will more likely to go to doctors that they will have to pay money. In my opinion, I don’t want them to use my taxes that I have paid for health insurance. I wish a day comes without caring about smokers.
