If you have smoked for years and have said, “Hey it never killed me!” then it will have taken your life expectancy down by about 5 years. Some side-effects of smoking are lung cancer, heart attack, stroke, and even a dead baby. If a pregnant woman were to smoke her baby would most likely die. In fact, over 94,000 infants have died from the mother smoking during pregnancy.
Another reason not to smoke would be, it costs five dollars a pack! Think about it, five dollars a pack, you smoke a pack a day for a week, every week. That is about 1,825 dollars wasted; on something that can easily kill people. So they are actually paying for their own demise.
Also, if you smoke around other people you're killing your friends and family little by little. Smoking around children can give them severe asthma, ear problems, respiratory infections, and sudden infant death syndrome. And if you smoke next to a non smoker, it makes them smell bad and they probably don't like smoke in their throat. So please, save yours and other people's lives by not smoking.
