Smoking is Completely Useless 

Smoking is a common thing to see in our environment. Nowadays, we can easily find smokers everywhere, not only in a group of grown up people, but also in a group of underage children. They are actually aware that smoking is dangerous but they do it anyway. Some of them believe that smoking is a way to connect with other people. Some others believe that smoking actually helps them to stay focus, but I think that smoking brings nothing good for us and it is totally useless.

Firstly, there is no beneficial substance in a cigarette. If you expect to get vitamin A, B or C from a cigarette, then you are daydreaming. All substance in a cigarette is dangerous. If we break it down and put it in a list, here are the substance of a cigarette and its effect toward the body: Carcinogens: substance that can cause cancer (Benzene, Formaldehyde, Vinyl chloride), Toxic Metals: metal compound that can harm our health (Arsenic, Cadmium), Radioactive Toxic Metals: extremely harmful for the body (Lead-210, Polonium-210), and various Poisons such as Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide and Nicotine. It is clear now that there is no useful material that we can take from a cigarette.

Secondly, smoking actually wastes your precious time. Some smokers may claim that they enjoy their cigarette while working, so it is like multitasking for them. But the truth is that they just don’t realize that they actually waste some of their precious time by smoking. Every time a smoker takes a sip of smoke from his or her cigar, it takes at least seven seconds of their time. Let’s do the math and find out how many seconds that they throw away if it takes at least seven sips to finish a cigarette. They would have thrown away forty nine seconds of their time to finish a cigarette and nine minutes and forty eight seconds to finish a pack of cigarette. That sounds so useless to me because after spending that nine precious minutes you completely gain nothing but damage to your body internally.

Thirdly, smoking means that you burn your money, literally. It sounds classic in our ear, but clearly there are still so many people who don’t get the meaning because the fact says that the number of smokers increase by year. We buy something for a reason. But when you buy a pack of cigarette, what is your reason? It doesn’t contain any vitamin for you to take. It doesn’t even contain a dangerous enough material for you to suicide. Buying certain poison that can kill you instantly seems to have a clearer objective for me than buying a pack of cigarette. When someone bought a bottle of deadly poison, it is clear to us that he or she wants to end his or her life. Smokers, on the other hand, do not expect to die for their action. I assure you that no smokers take a sip of a cigarette with suicidal intention in their mind, because they realize that smoking won’t kill them now, it will kill them later. Doing something without a clear objective sounds pretty bizarre for me. Smokers have their own reasons to keep doing their habit. It is completely their right to decide to stop smoking or not, but for me smoking is useless.
