Smoking+in+Public+Places2

__By: Kevin__ Smoking is legal in some states in the USA. But I believe that smoking should be illegal in Pennsylvania. By lighting just one single cigarette is putting your life at risk. Many diseases are affecting people by smoking. I am in favor that smoking should be illegal. Some people might preach that smoking is cool. That is because a bunch of people smoke and they feel they need to fit in with the crowd. People smoke because they believe it makes them look all tough and cool or something. Well, they’re not! On the other hand, you shouldn’t smoke because it is extremely unhealthy. People’s arteries have gotten so clogged up because of smoking. Because of that, you could have a heart attack! You probably already knew this, but smoking can cause cancer, which can kill you. Smoking can result in lung cancer too. So, since smoking is so horrible for you, why shouldn’t it be illegal? Furthermore, smoking can ruin your social life. When you’re speaking to someone, you don’t want to smell their smoky breath! Adding on to that, when you breathe after you smoke, smoke blows all around you and that means your whole body will smell like smoke. Have you ever seen someone’s fingers all dirty and stained? That is because the nicotine from the cigarette drips down onto your fingers and stains them. Yeah, gross. Smoking rots your teeth and turns them almost yellow. Wouldn’t it be just so fun to have a conversation with a person with yellow teeth, nicotine stains, and a smoky smelling body? In addition, smoking messes up restaurants big time. If there is not a separate room for smoking, smokes fills up the whole restaurant, and then you can barely eat! It’s tough to breath when a thick layer of smoke surrounds you because the air gets all heavy. So people will be coughing a great deal. Once this guy was complaining because someone breathed smoke onto his food. Do you ever want that to happen to you? Probably not. That is why smoking should be illegal, especially in restaurants. One of the most important reasons smoking is bad in restaurants is that, if your cigarette falls off the table, it could start a huge fire. Then, your business would be done. Now do you see why smoking should be illegal? It is so nasty. It is horrible for your health, ruins your appearance, and it ruins restaurants. Instead of worrying about all that, just make smoking illegal!
