deaths from lung cancer
The costs of smoking...
Smoking shortens a persons life span
largest source of indoor air pollution.
Many smoking-related deaths are not 'quick
deaths'.
Physical changes like Premature wrinkles . Your
heart is also affected
cigarettes the costs
Cigarette smoke, even second hand smoke, causes
the lungs to become clogged
Different types of cancers which are all equally
traumatic and deadly
As you all may know... The cost of smoking out
way the benefits (thats because there ARE NO
BENEFITS gained by smoking!!)

PEER PRESSURE
GIRLS VS. BOYS
Many of us tend to follow trends
Teenage girls are now more likely than boys to
drink, smoke, steal and take drugs
PARENTS
Second hand smoking
Bullies
Parents may influence children
HOW ARE WE AFFECTED

ETS from cigarettes and exhaled air is dirtier
than the smoke a smoker inhales
PROBLEMS

of their figure
Others smoke because they want to look attractive

unborn child

Making workplaces smoke free could save lives
45,000 jobs and 346 million could be lost if
restaurants were forced to ban smokers
Smoking is a killer
tourists who are also smokers, will undoubtedly
boycott London
Non-smokers should have the right to breath
clean air
FOR
AGAINST
People have the right to enjoy their life.
SHOULD SMOKING BE
BANNED IN PUBLIC ?
Banning smoking in public will help reduce litter
Children will be more exposed to cigarette smoke
The number of deaths, heart attack and strokes
will fall
Could mean the taxes go up due to
punishments/imprisonment
ITS A STEP CLOSER TO MAKING SMOKING HISTORY.

After researching the effects of smoking and how
it tarnishes our country and people I believe
that smoking should be banned in public.
But it doesnt resolve the problem.... Instead we
should tackle the roots of this problem instead
of the causes and effects of it...
I hope my presentation at least helped a few
people think about the consequences of smoking,
hopefully some of you may somehow persuade some
to quit smoking!

Thank you for being part of my audience
I KNOW we can prove that statistic about girls
being more likely to smoke etc than boys., SO
DONT START SMOKING!!! Words of warning -If you
smoke, stop now. -If you don't smoke, don't
start. -Exercise your right to live and work in a
smoke-free environment. LIFE IS SHORT AS IT IS,
WHY MAKE IT ANY SHORTER...

extra...gt
This slide is just for the things I motioned
during my presentation but arent actually in the
presentation... Its also got some comments from
me and others....
1- just help and guide someone through the lonely
journey of giving up!!! It can really make a
difference 2-by helping someone with quitting we
will be able, as a nation, to tackle bigger
problems 3-dont follow every trend... Be an
individual, stand out from a crowd by doing
something good for yourself (like not smoking) 4-
remember there is help available! Comments on
the actual presentation -Talked a bit to fast
(trust me dont talk to fast if your ever going
to present something... Some people thought I was
the express train. lt-)
