Speech on Smoking

Smoking has a massive effect on health, smoking causes 5000 deaths in New Zealand each year. 1.3 billion people smoke in the world.

Smoking causes 1 in 4 cancer deaths in New Zealand including cancers in the lung, mouth and throat which is where the smokes goes.

When you breath smoke, the smoke goes into your lungs and stars putting black tar into your lungs. This means it is harder to breath and your heart has to pump harder to et the oxygen around your body. That is bad for your heart.

Smoking is so dangerous why don't people stop?

Stopping is more difficult than starting. Nicotine is addictive this means that the nicotine in the cigarettes makes you want more and more and you can't stop you keep wanting cigarettes. So you keep on buying more smokes and waste a lot of money

Suppose everyday you smoke one packet of cigarettes which cost about $14 then you will be wasting $98 per week and it will add up to $5096 per year.

Even people who don't smoke may be killed by other people's smoking. Around 350 New Zealanders are killed by other people tobacco smoke each year so it isn't a good idea to hang out with smokers. If you smoke cigarettes you will smell of tobacco smoke and your friends won't want to hang out with you because of the smell. As well as the smell

So I have talked about the effects on smoking and the waste of money it is and why people won't want to hang out with you because you smoke

So why would you start to smoke.
