Is Smoking Good for Us?

About 50 thousand people die every year in Britain as direct result of

smoking. This is seven times as many as died in road accidents. Nearly a
quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking. Ninety
percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five
cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a
nonsmoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day the risk is nineteen
greater.
Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are those who are
smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart
disease than nonsmokers.

Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and

pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, nonsmoker breathes as much as
substance causing cancer as if he has smoked fifteen cigarettes. Smoking
is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money
from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for everybody else.

Using of cellphones in School
Have you ever left one of your books at home when you needed it in the class? You might answer
‘yes’ to the question, but this problem won’t be a big deal if you can just call your family home, right?
However, there are some schools that do not allow you to bring your cellphone to school. This situation
has created the question of whether students should be allowed to have cell phones in school or not. While
some argue that cell phones are disruptive and can hinder learning, I believe that there are strong reasons
to support their use in educational settings.

One of the primary reasons students should be allowed to have cell phones in school is for communication
purposes. In emergency situations, having a cell phone can be a lifesaver. Parents can reach their children
in case of unforeseen circumstances, ensuring their safety. Moreover, students can communicate with
their peers and teachers, fostering a collaborative and communicative learning environment.

Cell phones offer access to a vast array of educational resources. With the internet at their fingertips,
students can easily look up information, conduct research, and access educational apps. This access can
significantly enhance their learning experience, allowing them to delve deeper into subjects and explore a
wealth of knowledge beyond traditional classroom materials.

It’s true that cell phones can be a source of distraction. Critics argue that students may use them to text,
play games, or engage in social media during class, diverting their attention from the lesson. However,
this challenge can be effectively addressed through policies and guidelines that restrict cell phone use
during the class.

In conclusion, allowing students to have cell phones in school can be a wise decision if managed
effectively. These devices can enhance communication, provide access to educational resources, and
teach responsibility. While concerns about distractions are valid, they can be reduced with well-defined
guidelines and supervision. Ultimately, embracing technology in the classroom can help students prepare
for the digital world they will encounter in the future.
