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


 * (I believe that) Smoking in public places is the worst thing a smoker can do.**


 * Three Reasons**
 * **It's unhealthy for those around the smoker**
 * Example: It's not only unhealthy for the smoker anyone near him is at risk of getting hurt from second hand smoking.**
 * **It's rude to create that smell.**
 * Example:****If someone goes out and has to have a cigarette in a public place and can't wait 20 minutes until they get back in their car or go home, they need serious help. I don't want my clothes smelling like smoke if I'm going to a party in an hour and ducking into Shoprite to buy some appetizers for it.**
 * **It's unpleasant to look at.**
 * Example:Do you really want to see someone sucking in smoke and exhaling it while your trying to enjoy a nice meal at your favorite restaurant.**

> > **At least New York has some sense, they're one of the few places who banned smoking in public.**
 * Facts/Experts/Opinions**
 * **U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona says “Exposure to secondhand smoke remains an alarming public health hazard. Nonsmokers need protection through the restriction of smoking in public places and workplaces”**
 * **"Even breathing in low doses of cigarette smoke can increase one's risk of heart attack," said David Meyers, M.D., M.P.H., professor of Cardiology and Preventive Medicine, University of Kansas School of Medicine says.**
 * Exaggerated Effects**
 * **Every time I see a smoker, I turn blue trying to hold my breath.**
 * **Based on the strange places I've seen people smoke, I'm starting to believe some people have a cigarette glued to their lips.**
 * **Every time I leave the house, my first thought is: Is it time to bring out the gas mask again, or how many people will I see smoking in public today, will it maybe beat yesterday's record?**

**Choke the Smoke**

 * Are you very sick or dying from some kind of heart disease? Do you ask yourself why this is happening because you've never smoked, and eaten relatively healthy food your whole life? It's not because you stole one cookie from the platter of goodies you made for next week's bake sale.**


 * Now, ask yourself this, does anyone I work with smoke? Do I often pass smokers in the park, or at my favorite shopping center? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then you may be eligible foooorrrrr... death!**


 * When you inhale and someone next to you is smoking, you might as well just pick up a cigarette and join in. Because even though you may not be the one smoking, you're still inhaling the toxic fumes and all of the bad chemicals. Did you know that second hand smoking is almost as bad as real smoking? Don't worry, it's not //your// fault. It's the smoker's. Smoking is like sticking a dagger in your heart, only this death is slower, and much more painful.**


 * Here's my opinion: If you want to kill yourself, fine go ahead and kill yourself. Just try not to kill me along with you.**


 * I get that you get addicted to cigarettes. But really, can it wait ten minutes. If it really can't, please do the world a favor smoker, go to your car and smoke in there.** **"Even breathing in low doses of cigarette smoke can increase one's risk of heart attack," said David Meyers, M.D., M.P.H., professor of Cardiology and Preventive Medicine, University of Kansas School of Medicine.** **I. don't. want. a. heart attack!!! If you do that's fine. I'm sure you're a very nice person but seriously people, keep your toxic chemicals to yourself.**


 * Cigarettes have toilet cleaner in them. Because of second hand smoking, we are inhaling toilet cleaner!**


 * I don't get why we don't give the people who smoke in public guns! Either way, they're still killing us.**

 * Then, there's the smell. Once again, even though the smokers breath will smell bad, if he puffs on you, then you will too.** **If someone goes out and has to have a cigarette in a public place and can't wait twenty minutes until they get back in their car or go home, they need serious help. I don't want my clothes smelling like smoke if I'm going to a party in an hour and ducking into Shoprite to buy some appetizers for it. In Health Class the teacher pounded us with reasons not to smoke, and one of them was that you'll start to smell bad. Now, with so many people smoking in public, ordinary people are starting to reek too!**
 * Look, smokers of the world: smoking is just not attractive. I don't care if you smoke in your house, but exploiting your smoking to the rest of the world? Some of us want to keep our lunch in our stomachs and your yellow teeth and ugly puffs of smoke don't help.** **Do you really want to see someone sucking in smoke and exhaling it while your trying to enjoy a nice meal at your favorite restaurant? Dis. Gust. Ing.** **Based on the strange places I've seen people smoke, I'm starting to believe some people have a cigarette glued to their lips. All I have to say to that is that it's not fashionable.**


 * Whenever I go to the movie's, I can't even watch all of it because the door is always opening. Wanna know why? Smokers are stepping out so that they can smoke there 156th pack of the day and not disrupt the movie. But, by opening the door every twenty seconds, you are disrupting the movie!**


 * It's not only smokers fault. All of America needs a serous reality check. I'm including myself here. From the outside, the U.S. may look like a lovely place. We've got New York City, beautiful beaches in California, not to mention some pretty good theme parks like Disney World in Florida. But once you go deeper, we're actually very ugly people. It's not just smokers here. Though smoking in public does contribute, what about the dirty dying hobos, or the crazed people at the millions of casinos in the U.S.. I'm not saying the U.S. is completely heartless, I'm just trying to show you what rude people we've become. That hobo could have a home if people would just contribute. And for smokers that means skipping a couple packs a day so that that money can go to more important things. Not that your death isn't important.**


 * U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona says, “Exposure to secondhand smoke remains an alarming public health hazard. Nonsmokers need protection through the restriction of smoking in public places and workplaces.” See that came from the experts and people still smoke in public. If this continues am I going to have to leave the house saying: Is it time to bring out the gas mask again, or how many people will I see smoking in public today, will it maybe beat yesterday's record?**


 * At least New York has some sense, since they banned smoking in public. Seriously people, it's not fair that we have to turn blue holding our breath every time we see a smoker. Smoking in public places should be stopped. It's about as annoying as a hyena screaming while your trying to sleep. This is not is not only bad because it's unhealthy but also because it looks bad and smells bad, too.**
