It has been proven that smoking is bad for your health. In my opinion, there is no point in smoking. All you are doing is wasting your life, and you are wasting your money on something that isn’t worth it. If you smoke, you can mess up your sports career if you do play sports.

Smoking is hazardous to your health. It shortens your life span. Smoking is bad for kids under the age of 18. If you do smoke under the age of 18, your body will not work to its full capacity.

Public smoking is bad because when you smoke anyone around you can get the worst of your smoke. All those chemicals coming out of the cigarettes are worse than what the smokers take in. I got this information from www.tobaccofreemaine.org.

Everyone knows smoking is bad for his or her health, but I don’t understand why people still smoke when they know it’s bad for them. The state of Maine should raise taxes on cigarettes and when people look at prices for cigarettes, they will think twice about smoking.
