speech for 2017

Hi my name is chloe king, today             I’m going to talk to you about why smoking should be banned

So what i'm going to be talking about today is some facts about smoking so let's get into the facts...

Fact 1: did you know that Smoking causes 1 in every 5 deaths in the U.S. every year.

Fact 2: A single cigarette contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to kill.

Fact 3: Every day, nearly 4000 teens in the u.s. smoke their first cigarette while 1,000 start smoking on a daily basis.

Fact 4: and did you know that Smoking costs the U.S. $333 billion per year in health-care expenses and lost productivity to boot.

Fact 5: Exposure to Secondhand smoke causes nearly 50,000 deaths each year in the U.S. alone.   

Fact 6: 15   billion cigarettes

are smoked

worldwide

every day and about 69% of smokers want to quit completely but just they can’t.

Fact 7: The first European who learned to smoke from the natives was arrested back home because people thought he was possessed by the devil.

Fact 8: The study of more than 200,000 people, published this week in BMC medicine, found about 67 percent of smokers perished from smoking-related illness. That rate is higher than doctors previously estimated.

So that is why i think smoking should be banned and kids tell your parents and your grandparents and all so don’t smoke cigarettes kids it is bad.
