A 60-year-old Michael Dunn ruined his life thanks to smoking. However, he did not smoke. He was affected by secondhand smoking. He developed an asthma working in a casino as a gaming inspector. He used to run marathons and actively participate in activities. Now he cannot manage walking his dog without an inhaler thanks to a mistake he did not commit. Smoking's highly negative consequences are not worth taking a risk and production of smoke- related products and tobacco should be banned in the U.S. because of its addictiveness and its physical and emotional effects.

Primarily, smoking's first bad effect is its addictiveness. Teenagers like that high feeling. It makes them think that they are pumped up to do an exerting task. During the first few tries, this might be true. But after the pastime becomes an addiction, people smoke to return to the state they were before they started smoking. Soon, their efficiency in the body lowers down significantly to a point where people need smoking to live. If the addictiveness of smoking makes you crave it to live, and if smoking deteriorates body health and just about anything else around, why do people smoke in the first place? Some people are so addicted that they literally need it to live. In this case, banning it would result in the death of many. But, quitting smoking is a reality and there are many drugs to help them quit. A few deaths of people who harm society by smoking have to be accepted in order to protect others and the rest of humanity from smoking. 26% of all people in Britain smoke. 26% of them are 16-19 years old. It is better for them to never start than start early and quitting with health disorders. For people like Michael Dunn and many others, it is not fair to die an unhappy life thanks to somebody whom he hates his habit of smoking.

Secondly, the effects of smoking include numerous physical and life-threatening effects. In Michael Dunn's case, he was affected by smoking even though he didn't smoke. All he did was take a few breaths of smoke that harmed him exponentially in the long run. If you smoke, you have a 16 times the risk of developing blindness than when you are a non-smoker. 160,000 people in the U.K are killed every year because of smoking; 1/5th of the total deaths. That is just the United Kingdom only one of the many densely populated countries. Population control has already been accomplished by war and birth control. We do not need tobacco as another factor.
