The Production and sale of cigarettes should be made illegal

A cigarette is not a strange thing to us. Smoking has been a common habit of many people for long time ago. They smoke to remove their stressful situation and resentment. However, most smokers are not aware of the danger of their bad habit.

Smoking may result in dangerous effects to the smokers’ health as can be seen on the cigar packs. However, there are still many people who smoke actively. They don’t care about the adverse effects and dangers of smoking that can lead the risk of many serious health issues. For example, lung cancer and others cancers, diabetes, heart attack, high blood pressure, pregnancy and fetal disorder, respiratory disorders, impotence and other medical diseases. To decrease the rate of dangerous disease because of cigarettes, the production and sales of cigarettes should be made illegal.  

Another adverse effect of smoking is not only dangerous to the active smokers (people smoke directly) but also passive smokers (people smoke indirectly, but inhale cigarettes smoke that issued from the mouths of people who were smoking) as well. Moreover, this effect can be worse for the passive smokers than active smokers. The fact has proved that in the years 2004 – 2005, 113 adults and 28 babies died from the disease caused by passive smoke at home.

Besides the physical health risks from smoking, many financial/economic and environment risks occur along with smoking.

-    Economic side    : People who smoke regularly spend a majority of their money on buying the cigarettes and paying the medical expenses when he/she is hospitalized due to the cigarettes use.

-    Environment side : The cigarette smoke can cause air pollution that is not clean and fresh. Besides, the cigarette butts which are discarded by smokers carelessly can cause some damage to the environment.

The cigarettes contain many dangerous and poisonous substances　such as, Nicotine (a poison which measures directly to the brain, it can damage brain and body. The smokers will depend on nicotine. They will experience uncomfortable symptoms without smoking such as, feeling irritable, anxious, stress at work, etc), Tar (this substance can cause and develop cancers if the numbers are many), and Carbon Monoxide (carbon monoxide in the cigarettes is estimated to increase the risk of heart disease).

In conclusion that cigarette has many negative impacts on people. It is better that the production and sales of smoking should be made illegal. Thus, the rates of smokers will go down; people can live healthy; the environment will be good and the air become fresh and clean. People should be more responsible for their health and the health of their loved ones before it is too late.
