The effect? Impotence.” Now days teens start smoking because, they think it’s cool to look like an adult, or they get peer pressured. I agree that smoking does kind of look cool, but what’s hiding behind that smoke can kill you, and everyone else around you. “There is strong medical evidence that smoking tobacco is related to more than two dozen diseases and conditions” (“Smoking and Your body”).Smokingaffects every part of your body even to your toes! The effect of smoking is terrible for your health; it is proven countless times by medical professionals and scientists. Smoking affects your lungs, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system the most (“Smoking and Your Body”). When you smoke a cigarette you are inhaling toxic chemicals and the most addictive drug. Nicotine. “Nicotine is the drug responsible for making cigarettes so addictive. It makes your body crave more cigarettes and that means inhaling all those gross chemicals” (“Nicotine”). I know a person who had a throat cancer. He had to get a surgery to get his voice box removed to stop the spreading of cancer disease.Now, he can’t talk. He needs this little device on his throat to help him talk, which I have sympathy towards
