This is the students POST!

Hello classmates and Professor, I hope that everyone is having a great week so far. For this week’s discussion, I choose cigarettes. Cigarettes are very bad for us and our environment yet most of us still use them. I do not use cigarettes, but I have used it before. I think the government should ban cigarettes because it is very dangerous and addictive. Tobacco is not good for the body nor is it good for the environment we live in. Each year a large number of people all over the world either found out that they have cancer or pass away due to the use of cigarettes. However, there are other people, adults, and kids who are suffering from cancer or have suffered from cancer due to secondhand smoking which is much more dangerous than if they were the ones smoking the cigarettes. The toxins from cigarettes also harm our ecosystem as well as wildlife. The government banning cigarettes would have a very good impact on the world.
