Why Smoking is Good for You
Smoking is good for in many ways including making you live longer.
Although most text books and “experts” say that smoking is bad for
you, there are also many other people who disagree and say it has many
curing properties. For example, a person with bronchitis from
childhood accompanied by marked wheezing wads told by doctors not to
smoke. He was then told by an old country doctor that he used to be
like him until he took up the pipe. Then he tried smoking and it
reduced his bronchitis by far and reduced his cough. He claims that he
is sure he would be dead long ago if he hadn’t of taken up smoking. In
the old days smoking was prescribed to patients who had asthma but now
it has gone out of fashion. More allergies are developed in
non-smokers or people who give up smoking than smokers. Many severe
bronchitis patients find that their first cigarette of the day clears
their lungs and get rid of all their sputum for the next few hours.
The nicotine relaxes the muscles in the bronchial walls keeping them
at the right tension. It also reduces muscle tension in other parts of
the body, reducing tension on the arteries, therefore reducing high
blood pressure and heart disease. It also reduces the appetite, there
for reducing obesity. Nicotine improves concentration in periods of
long-lasting stress and satisfies people in bad temperaments.
Why Smoking is Bad for You
Many experts claim and have proof that smoking is very bad for you.
Smoking involves the burning of tobacco in a pipe, cigar, or
cigarette. The reason smokers feel relaxed smoking is because the
nicotine in tobacco is a very addictive alkaloid. In the U.S.A alone
tobacco use kills 420,000 smokers each year. Nicotine has been proven
to affect the chemistry of the brain. Information is transmitted in
the brain between nerve cells by the chemical acetylcholine. Nicotine
which resembles the same shape as acetylcholine and interferes with
the nerve system therefore stimulating the nervous system giving the

He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, but some thought he might actually be suffering from drug-induced toxic psychosis. He visited the emergency room for testimonials that bones were coming out the back of his head, someone stole his pulmonary arteries, his stomach was backwards, and his heart stopped beating sometimes. He was also diagnosed with hypochondria, where he believed his heart was in danger of shrinking until disappearance. He then came to the solution that drinking blood of animals or humans would stop the shrinking. He was also interviewed and said that he killed to stay alive. He was admitted to a mental institution and was prescribed antidepressants. He was allowed to leave anytime he wanted. He was left unsupervised and his mother told him that he did not need the

My PICOT question was developed after reading the case study about a patient named Vincent Brody who had for the last 50 years of his life consumed 40 cigarettes a day and despite his diagnosis of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a recent episode of exacerbation of his condition that required him to be admitted to hospital he was continuing to smoke.

Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in our society. During 1995, approximately 2.1 million people in developed countries died as a result of smoking. One tobacco use is responsible for nearly one in five deaths in the United States. Lung Cancer mortality are about 23 times higher for current male smokers and 13 times higher for current female smokers compared to a lifelong never-smoker.
If a loved one died around you due to a smoking addiction, how would you feel knowing that E-cigarettes could have helped him quit? Smoking is a huge problem that some people have to deal with everyday. It’s an addiction that isn’t easily broken by most people. Not only is it a problem among adults, but some teenagers become trapped at a young age and make it harder for them to quit as well. E-cigarettes were introduced to help people quit smoking in a safe and effective way. E-cigarettes should be regulated to help any smokers, young or old, to quit smoking, safely and effectively. The health benefits and potential to quit smoking is something that shouldn’t be ignored or overlooked. Regulating the E-cigarettes at a younger age can help teens change and help them quit smoking before it really affects them as they grow up.
Smoking tobacco in the cigarette form was extremely popular in the early part of the 20th century. Many people joined in the popular habit, got addicted, and had no fear of the future consequences or health concerns. Many people were under the impression that smoking was good for their bodies, and were unaware of the unhealthy side affects that cigarette smoking caused. Some famous people like Walt Disney, Ty Cobb, and Babe Ruth all were killed from their love of tobacco. Soon enough more and more cases of lung, throat, and mouth cancers began popping up all over the place, but people were reluctant to blame their beloved tobacco. It wasn’t until 1964 when Surgeon General Luther Terry stated that smoking causes lung cancer in people who smoke and inhale the fumes, that perceptions on smoking began to change. Since the findings of the Surgeon General, there has been an on going battle between pro-smoking, and anti-smoking groups over the rights of smokers. As the non smoking movement is growing at a rapid pace, and smoking bans have been ruled to not violate the 1st Amendment. In the last decade we have banned smoking in almost all public areas from bars and restaurants, offices, malls, and living quarters. The smoking bans are one effective way to abolish smoking, but it fails to address the major component in smoking; addiction to nicotine, and the psychological effect it has on users. Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way to end smoking. This is because treatment plans have such a small level of success. Medical treatment such as prescription medication often have more side effects than positive effects for the user. But one product has been making huge gains in the fight to quit tobacco, and that is the electronic cigarette...
Goal: I want to persuade my audience that smoking is a health risk to all of society and that smokers should be encouraged to quit.

Smoking is not only bad for health it is also as bad for the people
Did you know that smoking increases the risk of death and illness from a wide variety of diseases? In the U.S. there are around 350,000 deaths due to smoking. There are many risks that are increased because of smoking. There is lung cancer, which is increased by 50 to 100 % for each smoke you have a day. There is also heart disease. Heart disease increases roughly by 100 % for each pack you smoke a day. Did you know that smokers spend 27 % more time in the hospital, and more than twice as much time in an intensive care unit as a nonsmoker?
Scientists and health officials have been arguing the detrimental effects smoking has on our health for many years. Smoking can lead to serious complications including asthma, pancreas, lung and stomach cancer due to the large number of carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals) and other various substances added to it. It is a health hazard for both smokers and non-smokers and it is especially harmful to unborn babies. Although smokers claim that it helps them to relax and release stress, the negative aspects of the habit take over the positive. As it has been stressed by the scientists and experts, there are some very severe reasons of smoking but its crucial consequences should also be taken into consideration.
