Blog 2 Smoking. Health hazard or leisure and freedom















CHILDREN SMOKING IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!
Why shouldn't people enjoy a pleasure as simple and sexy as smoking, it is a free country after all. Who cares if other people don't like it, some people think its cool others think it is sexy.


Smoking and Lung cancer some of the facts from research:


According to research Lung cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in the UK. Each year more than 38,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK. This is a real cause for concern. After prostate cancer, lung cancer is the second most common form of cancer in males. In Females it is the third most common cancer after breast and bowel cancer. More than 8 in 10 lung cancer cases occur in people aged 60 and over. According to the World Health Organization, smoking kills more people than any disease in the world. I think that those people whom smoke more than twenty cigarettes may be at risk. However I have been a smoker for over six years now. I must admit I only smoke ten a week. I can also go months without any cigarettes. I do agree that passive smoking is unfair and especially around children. I also believe that parents who smoke infront of their children can set a bad example. However some children dislike their parents smoking and after seeing them smoke they oppose it.
