Why we should ban cigarettes speech.

Why we should ban cigarettes.

I have always thought that we should ban cigarettes, it could cause so much damage to your health and body. In cigarettes there are different kinds of chemicals such as benzene, arsenic and formaldehyde. When we smoke these chemicals from cigarettes it can lead to heart disease, a stroke and lung diseases. Hi my name is Perseus, and today i’ll talk about why we should ban cigarettes.

Reason number one

What can cigarettes do to you? So much. It can hurt your mental health and your body. It can cause cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease and so much more. Smoking could also increase risk for certain eye diseases and many more. It can also affect your mental health. Most smokers say they want to stop, but some continue because it seems to relieve stress and anxiety. It is a really common belief that when smoking cigarettes it can help you relax. But smoking can actually increase anxiety and tension. So smoking could cause so much damage to your body and mental health.

Reason number two

What is inside cigarettes? We think that we know what is in our cigarettes that we smoke. Nicotine, phenol and naphthol. Those are the things that we know are in cigarettes. But you know the chemicals. At the start of my speech I mentioned three chemicals called formaldehyde, benzene and arsenic. These are just the main chemicals that I found. So what are these chemicals? What do they do? Well formaldehyde is an embalming fluid. It can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. Benzene is a chemical that is a colourless or light yellow liquid. Benzene works by causing cells not to work correctly. Arsenic is a chemical element. Arsenic can cause long-term exposure. 

Even just these three chemicals alone can destroy your body. Even though we think there are only little things in our cigarettes there are actually more than we think.  ———————————————————————————–

Reason number three

If you are a smoker. Cigarettes can get expensive! Imagine how  much money you can save if you stop. Someone who is buying a pack a day spends about $266 a week on just cigarettes! Which is over $13800 each year! Now that a lot. Smoking can not only hurt you but it can also hurt the environment. Cigarette waste can pollute beaches , soil and waterways. Studies have also shown that cigarettes are also harmful to wildlife.
