10- Stop Smoking!

"Do you smoke?". That was a question asked by my doctor when she was doing my check up. That question made me think of my lung health. Cigarette smoking is one of the major cause of preventable diseases and death all over the world. Most smokers commonly die due to a lung malfunction. It made me worried about my schoolmates that I always see smoking outside the school everyday.

I was really relieved when Asia Pacific College started a campaign that is against smoking. It gave me hope that sooner or later, I won't  see anymore students that smoke cigarette outside the school. Students must be prohibited to smoke near the school or better, students must STOP smoking since smoking is really bad for the health.

I went to google and search for some effects of smoking in our bodies to warn my fellow students about it. And I found out that even the non-smokers can be affected by smoking. Actually, the effect on the non-smokers are worse than the effects on the smokers. Just like Jam Sebastian, a youtuber, suffered from lung cancer and died. He was a non-smoker but still, he was affected by cigarette smoking. It really causes innocents to suffer.

Smoking not only causes health issues but also pollutes and degrades our beloved environment. It is really sad because even though smoking has a lot of harmful effects, many people still do it. Their reasons? To relax and to calm their nerves! What kind of reasons are that, really? There are still many ways to relax and to calm your nerves without smoking! PEOPLE OF EARTH, PLEASE HAVE YOUR SENSES!

Do you know that one of every five deaths in the Philippines are caused by smoking? GOSH PEOPLE, WAKE UP! STOP SMOKING! Seriously, when are you smokers going to stop? When you are already suffering from a lung malfunction? This is the reason why I am so ecstatic when APC made that anti-smoking campaign. I really hope that the campaign will really help lessen the smokers not only in the school but also everywhere.
