Smoking in public

The middle aged lady in this photograph is reading her news paper. Although this picture look like nothings wrong but there is. The innocent lady is catching second-hand smoke from the gentleman next to her. Everyday innocent people such as this lady catch second-hand smoke by breathing in those horrible chemicals. The lady is not hurting anyone, she just want to enjoy her news paper.



This picture is implying that people who don't think its dangerous smoking in public places. People in society are punishing innocent people by smoking in public. Non-smokers doesn't ask to breathe in those harmful chemicals. Innocent people catch second-hand smoke just by standing or walking next to someone. It have been calculated that people will spend half there pay checks by supporting there harmful habit.



This photograph represent my argument that smoking should be banned in public places. People who smoke in public places are dangerous to the community. If smoking in public was banned,there would be a decrease in cancer patients, and people would have clean air to breathe.

Smoking

My picture shows an image that is all too familiar in the public eye of today’s society, the image of smoking and how it affects people. In this picture one can see how smoking can really affect one’s life and how the addiction can be suffocating to not only one’s outside appearance, but of one’s health. In this particular photo, shows a controversial side of the appeal that people become addicted to cigarettes and that even after having “reality” strike by having to get a tracheotomy, some people still cannot get over the addiction. Even though I am not a smoker myself, I have had firsthand accounts of how the nicotine can cause a lapse of pain, money, and self motivation. My grandfather was very addicted to smoking, back then my parents would call him a “chain smoker”, referring that he could on certain days smoke a whole carton of cigarettes in one setting. Back then I was young and naïve, but after my grandfather passed away last August, I really knew that the world had lost a great man due to cigarettes. He had become addicted as a young boy, and had not stopped smoking until I was around the age of eight or nine; he became better but in his later years his health declined and his lack of oxygen took over. Cigarettes can cause many people pain, not just the smoker. In conclusion, I would like the people reading this blog to really focus on how even though most people now in reality that cigarettes are very harmful to their health, the actual reality is that they are addicted to that cigarette and that until they are ready and willing to stop they will not be able to overcome the addiction. By looking at my picture the photographer, whoever he or she may be, took this picture to show how unhealthy lifestyles may be lived out by actually capable well behaved people. Those people are addicted to things that they know are not healthy, but the addiction is what really kills them. This picture is great for my argumentative essay for the class as well, showing the side effects as well as a firsthand account of how smoking can trigger an addiction that to some may be incurable until it is too late.
