Smoking Can be Harmful in Different Ways

It affects the environment, health, and finance.

Smoking can affects everything in many ways. It can cause health problems because of the many different chemicals in it. For example, tar causes a waste in your lung so you can not store as much air as you were suppose to. The smoke also burns your lung so it can not function properly. It is also has a high risk of causing heart stroke which can be life threatening. That is how smoking affects your health.

Smoking can also affect the environment. For example, when used cigarette are on the ground, it could get into our water system in due time. For example, when it rains, the chemicals in a cigarette can leak and go into the drain system. Soon, the drain water would end up in lakes and rivers. This could cause a lot of harm to aquatic life. That is how smoking can affect our environment.

Smoking also affects the smoker financially. For example, if they usually smoke 20 cigarettes per day they could lose a couple thousand dollars per year. So stop smoking could give them immediate benefits. If they want to spend the money where they saved from smoking, then they could buy other things they want.

    Stupidity has never failed to amaze me. I guess that’ll never change.

    “…tar causes a waste in your lungs…” What the hell is a waste in your lungs? It’d be more accurate to say it accumulates in your lungs. “It also has a high risk for heart stroke.” So many things wrong with this sentence. First off, what has a high risk? The smoke? That was the subject noun you used. But it could also be the tar. Maybe even your lungs?

    Secondly, there is no such thing as a heart stroke, and even if there were, smoking has no effect on it. Smoking risks include both STROKES and HEART ATTACKS, but you can’t put them together. Strokes are usually caused by a clot in the brain. Heart attacks usually aren’t. And the reason smoking puts you at risk for these things is because the chemicals cause your heart to pump harder (since nicotine is an upper), which causes strain on your blood vessels. This eventually weakens them over time, and the strain on your heart causes it to get weaker and therefore more susceptible to problems.

    Get your facts straight. Learn English. Learn proper English. I’m looking forward to someday actually clicking on your articles and not wishing I hadn’t. Until then, see ya.

    P.S. I’m fairly certain this comment contains more info than your entire article. Me: 3, You: 0 if I’m scoring correctly at the moment.
