A lot of people in the World thinks its cool to smoke. But they should think again. Smoking kills a lot of people in the World everyday.
The disgusting smell of smoke can make you and your kids sick. Sometimes this second hand smoke can kill them too. I reckon that Shops should stop selling cigarettes then so people can stop dying because of smoking.
Did you know that half of the population of the world smokes? That is really bad. I think that we should stop smoking and live a better life. Stopping smoking would stop less people from dying faster than they need to.
Did you know that some people smoke one pack a day but it is depending what kind of person you are. That is a lot of money wasted on something that could kill you. The average price of a packet of cigarettes is $14.50. That means if you smoke a pack a day you will spend more than $5000 a year on cigarettes.
Did you know that around 5,000 New Zealanders die each year from smoking. That is really bad. Did you also know that over 440,000 people in the U.S.A and over 100,000 people in the U.K die each year because of smoking. If you plan to stop smoking it is never ever too late to.
I hope you agree that all New Zealanders should be encouraged to stop smoking. So if you think it is cool to smoke you think about some of my points and that might make you think again. By Zion
