Over the years people had died from smoking cigarettes, more than 480,000 deaths per year was caused by cigarettes for example smoking cigarettes can cause 1,300 every day deaths just imagine what cigarettes can do to you. Most of the people who smokes cigarettes die 10 years before non-smokers. Let's not forget that a lot people also get liver disease and most people can get cancer from smoking.


We should make smoking illegal because it is a nasty killer.  This are the reason why we should make them illegal cigarettes are deadliest object in the history of human civilisation, 6 million people die per year.


Smoking kills because of the nicotine that it  contains in the cigarettes it's very bad for your health that's why many people are addicted to smoking cigarettes. If you end up smoking too much that's when cancer occurs and many other diseases occur. Smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders combined with thousands more dying from a spit tobacco use. For example famous people had died from lung disease “ Peter Jennings guy who worked in ABC news died from a lung disease at the age 67.


The tobacco companies make some much money of people who smokes cigarettes. They make about 35.1 billion equal to the combined profits coca cola, microsoft's and mcdonalds in the same year. I feel like cigarettes companies should not get this amount of money for taking people's lives away.

The reason why I'm against smoking is because many people died from it and it should be banned all over the state.
