Did you know three cigarettes could get one addicted? Every time one takes a puff of a cigarette they’re playing a dangerous game with life. I always wondered, Why are cigarettes so deadly, what is in cigarettes, if people know they’re deadly then why do they still smoke them, and finally why does the government allow people to buy these when they can kill you? Every time one smokes a cigarette it’s like putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger with out knowing if the gun is loaded or not. I’ll do what’s within my ability to answer these questions in this essay. I browsed the internet (isn’t it a wonderful tool?) and used other references and my knowledge to determine why cigarettes are addictive, unhealthy, and unappealing. If we could vote to make cigarettes illegal then I’d vote yes. If your vote is no then after you read this essay I hope you will vote yes and save millions of adult and CHILDREN lives.

Cigarettes are very unappealing. Do you like the smell of an old used ashtray? I don’t and most other people don’t either. Well how would you like for smoking area to smell like that and wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. You know how some smokers’ teeth are yellow. This is one result of the tar staining their teeth. All white items in your smoking area could turn yellow as a result in the tar you exhale along with many other chemicals. Premature wrinkles are another result in smoking.

Cigarettes are very unhealthy. If you knew what is in cigarettes you would think twice about even touching them. The basic substances are nicotine, tobacco, and TAR. Yes TAR that black smelly stuff that you have on your roof, in the streets, and if you smoke in your lungs. These are some other substances used to make cigarettes: Uranium, water, Carbon Dioxide. These chemicals are also used to make nuclear bombs. I guess smokers enjoy smoking nuclear bombs. Some side effects of smoking are many forms of cancer, thickening of the blood, making the arteries thinner and smaller, cancer of the vocal cords You’ll have to talk out of a microphone in you’re neck, and could cause constant Bronchitis.

Addiction is probably the worst part. Before I explain what addiction is like I’m going to tell you
