    SAMPLE ANSWER:

    Negative Effects on Smoking


    Written by Natasha Moore

    “Smoking is bad for health”. It is a very familiar slogan that you can easily see in all
    pack of cigarettes and in public places. However, despite thousands warnings of the ill-
    effects of smoking, the amount of smokers is increasing especially among students.
    Smoking can be very dangerous for our health. It can affect you negatively, both quickly and
    slowly. Here are the negative effects of smoking and way to overcome the addiction.

    To start with, smoking causes bad odour. This is because the smoke can stick to
    your clothes and hair making you smelly. People around you will be uncomfortable to speak
    and being close with you. Smoking also can cause future vision problem. The hazardous
    contains in the cigarettes will increase the risk of eye problems such as cataracts and
    glaucoma.
    Next, yellowish stains on the teeth will be the tell-tale sign of your long term smoking.
    The tar and other chemicals carried in the smoke will seep into the pores in your teeth
    enamels, staining their natural colour. Besides, smoking causes lung cancer. The
    carcinogenic substances such as arsenic and ammonia, damage the lung tissues. Over the
    time, the damage causes cells to act abnormally and eventually cancer may develop.
    Apart from that, in the medical world and beyond, it is universally agreed upon
    that smoking reduces life span. The mortality rate among smokers is three times that of
    non-smokers. Every cigarette you puff, contain more than 4,000 hazardous chemicals which
    will badly damage every single part of your body. You are beckoning many chronic diseases
    to come into your body with smoking.
    You are not only hurting yourself by smoking, but also the people nearby as the
    “passive smoker”. Passive smoking can increase a non-smoker's risk of getting lung cancer
    by a quarter, and may also increase the risk of cancers of the larynx (voice box) and pharynx
    (upper throat). Every year, second-hand smoke kills millions of people in the world from lung
    cancer, heart disease, stroke and the lung disease.
    One way to overcome addiction of smoking is cultivating your inner feeling to fight the
    addiction and quit smoking. Rise up your inner motivation by highlighting the reasons that
    shore up your determination of quitting smoking. Have strong belief in yourself that you have
    to stop smoking for your own great future and for the sake of the people around you who will
    also get the effects of your habit. If you are determined to give up smoking, but do not know
    where to begin, create a structured plan with the support of others or medication therapy.
    Quitting smoking is difficult, but not impossible.
    As the conclusion, we all realise that there is no benefit to gain with smoking but
    harmful effects on health and society. For the non-smoker yet, say no to start or even try to
    smoke cigarettes and for those who have start it, there are rewards to quit smoking. It is
    hard, but it worth it in the end. Make the wise decision in your life, do not sacrifice your future
    for the sake of having fun today. Let us battle this issue facing the entire nation, let us “Say
    No to Smoking!”
