I am against cigarette smoking because they are cancer sticks. They mess up your lungs, teeth, gums, liver, voice, and heart etc. So why do something that can do so much damage to your body? And can  will kill you. Cigarettes are trash, the company itself says they are bad for you. Today in society smoking cigarettes is looked down on because everybody knows they are bad for the body, so there is no excuses for smoking cigarettes. They are made with the worst chemicals and even the things we see in our lives. For example; toilet cleaner, the sole of our show, methane, cat pee, bleach, rocket fuel, and many other things that are not supposed to be entering the human body. The killer though is nicotine. Nicotine is the chemical that gets you addicted to those suckers. Its the chemical that makes you want to smoke another cigarette and keep smoking them. The urge can be so unbareable that people go crazy! In some cases people lose limbs, which is pretty gnarly. So be smart, and dont smoke cigarettes unless you wanna end up like this person.
