The dangers of smoking are well known, yet many people continue with this habit. They will have to spend more money than others. Do you agree or disagree to what extent

 days, the number of
smokers
 is steadily increasing even if many people already know about the negative
effects
 of smoking. I completely disagree with
this
 opinion and I will discuss the reason why we should not smoke. There are some compelling and plausible reasons that they have to quit their smoking habit.
Firstly
, there are no benefits to smoking. Some people say the reason why they smoke is for resolving their stress, but smoking has not any beneficial
effects
 on stress.
Smokers
 have to try to find their own hobbies or enjoyable things to resolve their stress
such
 as dance or drawing for examples.
Secondly
, there are some people who think smoking looks cool and nice but it is a ridiculous thought. Many movies and dramas make smoking look cool but we have to differentiate the borderline between media and real
life
. There is no benefit to smoking.
Moreover
, I will argue some convincing reasons why smoking is harmful to our lives. Most of the public already knows about the harmful
effects
 of smoking
such
 as lung diseases. But the number of
smokers
 is getting increase because of the atmosphere of society that smoking is fine.
However
, smoking is one of the critical causes of plenty of diseases and the body that was ruined by smoking is hard to recover. It will require a great deal of effort.
Furthermore
, the costs of cigarettes have been rose
due to
 the government’s anti-smoking campaign, and it affected the finance of
smokers
. They might have to spend a lot of money to smoke. If they do something other with the costs rather than buy cigarettes, they could do more advantageous things and their
life
 quality will be better. In conclusion, there are only harmful
effects
 of smoking. We have to try to quit smoking and live a more improved
life
. Anti-smoking will convey us a better
life
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
