Cigarettes, Smokers, and Smoking

Smoking is a bad habit that is very hard to break. Smokers are everywhere. Many people smoke
just to socialize, but many others are too addicted to quit.
A cigarette is like a toxin hypermarket. You can find many kinds of toxin in it ; acetone, carbon
monoxide, tar, arsenic, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and toluene. The tar itself contains more than 43
substances that can cause cancer. Scientists say that when we are smoking, we put more than 4,000 kinds
of toxic materials into our body.
However, many smokers believe that a cigarette with low tar is less dangerous. And so is a filtered
cigarette. But the problem is one cigarette is never enough for addicted smokers.
Another myth about smoking is that it cannot only make them awake but also raise their
inspiration. This is contrary to the findings of a research in California which show that smoker’s ability to
think is lower than that of non-smokers.
Smoking is indeed a serious social problem in our country. The government keeps reminding that
smoking is dangerous, not only for smokers themselves, but also for other people in the surroundings
( passive smokers). But the warnings do not seem to get any responses.
