Smoking is Useless

Smoking is a common thing to see in our environment. Nowadays, we can easily find smokers everywhere, not only in a group of grown up people, but also in a group of underage children. They are actually aware that smoking is dangerous but they do it anyway. Some of them believe that smoking is a way to connect with other people. Some others believe that smoking actually helps them to stay focus, but I think that smoking brings nothing good for us and it is totally useless.

Firstly, there is no beneficial substance in a cigarette. If you expect to get vitamin A, B or C from a cigarette, then you are daydreaming. All substance in a cigarette is dangerous. If we break it down and put it in a list, here are the substance of a cigarette and its effect toward the body: Carcinogens: substance that can cause cancer (Benzene, Formaldehyde, Vinyl chloride), Toxic Metals: metal compound that can harm our health (Arsenic, Cadmium), Radioactive Toxic Metals: extremely harmful for the body (Lead-210, Polonium-210), and various Poisons such as Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide and Nicotine.

Secondly, smoking actually wastes your precious time. Some smokers may claim that they enjoy their cigarette while working, so it is like multitasking for them. But the truth is that they just don’t realize that they actually waste some of their precious time by smoking. Every time a smoker takes a sip of smoke from his or her cigar, it takes at least seven seconds of their time.

Thirdly, smoking means that you burn your money, literally. It sounds classic in our ear, but clearly there are still so many people who don’t get the meaning because the fact says that the number of smokers increase by year. We buy something for a reason. But when you buy a pack of cigarette, what is your reason? It doesn’t contain any vitamin for you to take. It doesn’t even contain a dangerous enough material for you to suicide.
