Smoking cigarettes is very bad for one’s health. Yet people all over the world do it every day. No matter how many warnings that the Surgeon General puts on cigarette packs people still smoke. . I feel that as years go by people are understanding the risks that go along with smoking cigarettes more and more. Hopefully in the future everyone will understand the risks and cigarettes will be banned. Smoking cigarettes can cause many different types of diseases and illnesses, such as cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and coronary artery disease, throughout the human body.
First of all, cigarette smoking can cause a person to have cancer. It doesn’t have a specific place in the body that it picks to place the cancer. Cancer can be in the mouth, the throat, the lungs, and many other places throughout the body. Lung cancer can be fatal. The more a person sucks in the smoke the more the cancer spreads. It also depends on the individual’s length of smoking habit. A treatment for cancer can be radiation treatments. A person can die if cancer is not treated. Cancer is only one type of disease that cigarette smoking can cause.
