 * Thesis** (What You're Trying to Prove)


 * I believe that people who smoke are annoying because they are smelly and dangerous.**


 * Three Reasons**
 * 1) **It smells terrible. Example: I hold my breath until the smoker is out of sight and my lungs hurt**
 * 2) **It is dangerous. Example: If you don't smoke but take in the fumes from people who do, you inhale second hand smoke, which can cause lung cancer**
 * 3) **People who smoke always smell like tobacco even when they are not smoking. Example: My friends cousin, Bob, is a heavy smoker and his clothes always smell like smoke and so does his breath.**

> ~Kurt Vonnegut Empty Wallets.
 * Facts/Experts/Opinions**
 * KidsHealth.org says " Smoking is one of the worst things kids or adults can do to their bodies."
 * Cancer Research UK Says Children are particularly at risk because they breathe faster than adults and have underdeveloped immune systems.
 * The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide.
 * Exaggerated Effects**
 * People smoke so much outside that the plants will have to start wearing gas masks if they don't want to get second hand smoke
 * So many people smoke that there will be over one hundred workers outside a factory having a cigarette break, and only one employee will be inside working. (Talk about how they are creating more pollution outside than the factories smoke stacks)

// Put the Butts Down! // media type="custom" key="22014784" Do you ever have to hold your breath until your lungs ache to get away from a smoker? Do you ever wish you had a gas mask to get through a huge crowd of cigarette addicts? Even though it's annoying to have to jump into bushes and hide behind trees to avoid smokers, that's probably better than sucking in their grotesque fumes.

Over two billion people in the world smoke, so it's likely that you will come across a crowd of losers taking drags on their cancer sticks. Even though you might not be the one smoking, breathing in the fumes that they exhale is almost just as bad as the real thing.

When you inhale someone's cigarette smoke, you're still getting all of the abominable chemicals into your body. Second hand smoking is almost just as bad as the real things. KidsHealth.org says " Smoking is one of the worst things kids or adults can do to their bodies." And they're right! Like Kurt Vonnegut once said, "The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide." If you haven't caught on yet, smoking will kill you!

You can jog 'till you drop on the treadmill, do push- ups until your arms break, or cart wheel to Alaska and back every morning trying to get healthier, but none of it matters if you smoke. Face it, tobacco brains, you're ruining your life one way or another. You have already increased your chances of Heart and Blood Vessel Disease, Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema, and pretty much every lung related disease out there! Oh, and have I mentioned CANCER!

Do you want to hear the worst disease caused by smoking? Empty wallets! If you smoke a packet of cigarettes a day for an entire year, you've just stuck over two thousand dollars in an ash tray, along with your cigarettes!

Besides the gut-wrenching coughs, yellow stained teeth, grey complexion, lack of energy, and dizziness, the worst thing about a smoker is their horrific smell. Even if a smoker washes their clothes, hair, car, house, and anything else they touch, it will always stink of smoke.

Okay cigarette suckers, just stop and think for a second. Do you really need to smoke? Do you think bad breath and stained teeth make you look cool or something? Have you already booked your room in the hospital? Smoking just makes you a smelly and dangerous hazard to be around.

Stop killing yourselves and others and put the butts down.

For good.
