Recently, we had a discussion about whether adolescents should smoke cigarettes.
On one hand, about 20% of the students agree that adolescents smoke cigarettes. In their opinion, smoking can help them ease their pressure when they are under heavy stress. Besides, smoking is fashionable and it feels cool to smoke in front of other peers. However, on the other hand , about 80% object to it. They think smoking does great damage to their body; Once they are addicted to it, it ‘ll be rough to quit it. What’s more, smoking also has a harmful effect on others, non-smokers in particular. More importantly, if you are a heavy smoker, you’ll smell terrible. That’s why sometimes you find it difficult to communicate with others.
As far as I’m concerned, adolescents should not get into the bad habit of smoking. That’s because it does no good to our physical and mental health in the long term.
