Argument essay about smoking

Smoking is a widespread phenomenon that can cause many serious diseases. I see many people smoking. Many of them are people who I know. Although it is harmful in some ways, it can help some people to relax. First, let me start with the positive points.
First of all, smoking can help smokers to relax from the stressful daily routine. Some people think it makes them feel good when they are nervous. What’s more, people have the right to smoke as long as they smoke away from people and public places. Next, many families in poor countries depend mainly on tobacco. As it is their main job to grow and to cut tobacco leaves.
Now, let’s talk about the negative things. First but not least, smoking is a major cause of lung cancer and heart disease as well as many other chronic diseases. Next, smoking near people in public places like shopping malls, coffee shops and at the office is not only harming you, it’s also harming other people around you. By saying other people this can be people who you love and you care for. Another point is that when you light up a cigarette you are burning your money as well. It’s a waste of money.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that I can respect the freedom of smokers, but I believe they should think about it twice as it is harmful for them and for others.
