Smoking is a pass time that is
encouraged and accepted by many as a relaxing
and cool thing to do. Although many
people do it and try to ignore the bad effects of smoking, nobody
can escape these bad effects. Smoking
poses three main hazards: Health hazards, Endangering others,
and Spiritual hazards.
The first of the three hazards of
smoking are the health hazards it presents. The
firs reason and the most dreadful
reason is the big possibility of getting lung cancer. The soot from
the
smoke in cigarettes can permanently
blacken your teeth, and can also cause gingivitis. Also, smoking
can cause various skin diseased such
as melanoma, which make your skin look rally bad. Given there
reasons given, the habit of smoking
and the acceptance of it is most unreasonable.
The second hazard smoking presents
is the fact that you are endangering others
while smoking around them. The first
way to do this is by secondhand smoke. Second hand smoke is
the smoke you breathe out of your
lungs; it can be inhaled by non smokers and cause them to have
health problems. The second way that
smoking endangers others is by bad example, seeing you
smoke. Lastly, as if someone would
have the nerve to do this, smoking presents the urging of the
smoker t the nonsmoker to take up the
habit.
Perhaps the most important reason to
reconsider smoking as a pastime is the
spiritual hazards it presents. The
body is the temple of the holy spirit. Smoking makes the body dirty,
and thus makes the temple of the Holy
Spirit unfit. Also, the fact that you could get cancer leads to the
unmistakeable fact that you are slowly
committing suicide. A reason that is most disgusting is that
some people step out of church for a
smoke break! Smoking not only harms your body, but also your
soul.
