There are not many things that I loathe besides one thing in particular, and that is cigarettes! I hate the smell and what it does to peoples lungs.This disgusting long white thin cancer stick causes so many health problems for people all over the world. From the site "Cigarette butt Litter," describes a cigarette as being about 85 mm to 100 mm long and its width around 8mm. There are tightly fitted fibers made of cellulose to lets air enter the smoke mix. In addition, the cancer stick is wrapped in usually a white sticky paper to lock in the fibers. Cigarettes are highly addictive and are incredibly toxic. The toxine is called, nicotine , which comes from one of the most deadlist plants when in its natural form. Further, there is a substance called, tar found in cigarettes and when inhaled to the lungs causes a nasty sticky yellow-brown liquid. Did you know that there are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes such as, carbon monoxide, nicotine,ammonia and etc? It just bathels me how much people do not realize the damage that they are doing to their bodies. The cigarettes manufactures need to be sued because they know that they are slowly killing off the people in the world. How can they be so selfish just to make a buck!
Cigarettes cause health probelms to smokers and almost always has them end up in the doctors office or hospital. The site http://www.lungusa.org/ claims that over 8.5 million perople have at least one serious sickness caused by smoking. Smoking causes Chronic lung disease, Coroanry heart disease, Stroke, Heart attack, throat cancer and just plain death! Because smoking is so addictive people that want to quit suffer severly. The reason is because there are withdrawal symptoms like irritablitity, crankiness, anxiety, head aches, nausia and other symptoms. Cigarettes are one of the leading causes of death in our world. Futhermore, the withdrawal process isn't usually that long.
In addition, if you are a non smoker and live with someone who smokes you are suffering from second-hand smoke. Second hand smoke in some cases can be just as bad because the non smoker is constantly breathing in the smoke. The same site lungusa .org says that children can develop asthma in the long run. Morever, babies sometimes experience sudden infant death syndrome because of second hand smoke. Some smokers do not realize the cost that you are dealing with when it comes to their children. Where even sometimes others do and smoke when they are pregnant. I can not stand that! How can people be so ignorant and want to distroy their baby's life.
I have never been a fan of cigarettes and Iam happy that in most places in Maryland, they are not allowing people to smoke in restaurants. Thank you Jesus! I feel like it is about time. Why do other people have to suffer when they do not need to. I am not saying that smokers are bad; Iam just saying that they need to really understand the consequences of smoking and how it effects others. It is good that there are products like nicorite gum and the patch to help smokers quit.I hope that one day there will be a cure for being addicted without the painful withdrawl.So when I think of cigarettes, I think black lungs and might as well stick my head into a fire pit and breathe into the smoke! Yuck, who wants that!

Cigarettes really are a stinky, bad habit. I'm really happy about the bans that they have on cigarettes. It's surprising how smoking cigarettes was once glamorized and now is a big public taboo.
I agree with you so much. I hate cigarettes! You touched really well on how unhealthy they are for you, and gave a great visual image about the nasty carbon black lung, yuck! My boyfriend just recently quick smoking and I couldn't be happier. I hate the smell on his clothes and hair and now its gone! YAY!
I think by far this is the absolute worst thing in the world. I was going to write about how much I scorn cigarettes but you beat me to it. You did do a very nice job. I think that it is especially discussing when you see someone that you find attractive and then you see them twenty minutes later and they have a cigarette in their mouth. It’s a complete turn off. I am also ecstatic that cigarettes are eradicated from restaurants and bars in all of Maryland. I used to hate coming home wreaking of smoke especially if I was wearing a jacket that I wear often cause I would then be forced to wash it before wearing it again. And even if I did wash it my skin would smell like smoke until I showered at least twice.
