Blog #52: Mid-Term Assignment

1.It's amazing what people do these days and not even notice their little conscience man poking at their brain. It's a fact, smoking will harm or even kill you, get over it. It's time for us to grow up and accept the facts. A little cigarette is fine, right? Just to calm the nerves. It won't hurt me at all. Wrong. One cigarette instantly increases your risk of cancer and death. This is not okay and unacceptable.

                       What I find worse than people smoking, is when the smokers light up near other people. We do not need your stench, your habits, your choices, or your cigarette around us. Secondhand smoke is scientifically proven to be more harmful than first hand. I cannot even begin to elaborate the people who put not only themselves, but children, elderly, and everyone in danger. The General warns them that there is an extreme possibility that they will die, yet not even take a second glance at it.

Scientific studies have shown that 99% of children that live in an apartment have more tobacco chemicals in their blood than those who live in houses. The children who were tested didn't even live in an establishment with smokers. The amount of people who smoke in apartments have increased these children's risk of cancer and dying. As if first and secondhand smoking was bad, there is now thirdhand smoking. This is when residue of tobacco on clothes, hair, or skin gets transfered to another person, it's nearly the same as first and second hand smoke. There aren't any words to describe how clueless people are.
