Do you smoke? Do you enjoy cigarette smoke?

I’m sure that you do not, but many


other people do and not all of them are aware of the harm caused by cigarette smoke.
Preparing a convincing speech about the dangers of smoking and how to quit the
habit is something that literally saves lives.

The best way to show that smoking hurts people and the society is to divide all the
negative influences into several categories.

Health risks: lung cancer, larynx cancer, asthma, heart attack, esophagus,
cardiovascular and bladder diseases, emphysema, stroke, second-hand smoke risk, etc.

Appearance: bad breath, yellow teeth and finger tips, disgusting smell of hair,
fingers, clothes, wrinkling skin, etc.

Inconvenience: smokers often have to interrupt the more interesting activities for a
smoke; as many places don’t allow smoking, you have to go outside into the cold (if
it’s winter); many people don’t like to be near smokers, and you may even lose a
friend because of your tobacco smoking, etc.

Giving up smoking is surely more difficult than simple talking about the dangers of
smoking. Despite the fact that they realize the harm, many people simply cannot get
rid of the habit. You have all the chances in the world though to convince smokers
that life is beautiful in itself. There is no need for smoking cigarettes. A myth that
smoking can solve the problems of daily living should be dispelled. It should also be
known that a smoker’s health risks are high and that smoking is a problem that can
only be solved if they never again take a cigarette in their hands.

In order to show that smoking is not natural
