There is no doubt that
tobacco
is an addictive substance whose harmful for our
health
.
In addition
, these days lots of people are smoking cigarettes and they don't think about all the issues that can cause all the substance in a cigarette. In
this
essay I'm going to talk about my disagreement about
this
statement that
this
should be illegal as well than drugs.
Firstly
, it's true that the percentage of people who
smoke
cigarettes is rising over the
last
century.
This
is an issue not only because those that consume
tobacco
can have a
health
problems
also
those who are close to them. An example of
this
could be the people who suffer
cardiorespiratory
issues. While there are those who
smoke
every day.
However
, are other that promise never
smoke
, but they're close to someone who does.
Furthermore
, cigarettes sometimes can be compared with drugs. Despite
this
,
tobacco
is legal and drugs are illegal.
Moreover
, there are those who wants that
tobacco
become illegal. But there is already a lot of advertising who tells how bad is to
smoke
the nicotine and all the issues that can induce their consume. To illustrate
this
point, when someone buys a package we can see publicity about the bad effects of
smoke
.
Also
in the street or metro there is a lot of advertising, who advise us that
smoke
can induce death or is not good for our
health
. To sum up,
smoke
cigarettes is not good for our
health
, but people who
smoke
are already concerned about the problem with that. Personally, their consume should not be illegal because each person who
smoke
knows all the bad effects associated with
this
.
On the other hand
, drugs have more controversial effects and they suppose a biggest problem in our society.
