40,000 million people die every year from smoking! One reason why smoking and drugs are considered dangerous is the fact that smokers develop life threatening illnesses, like lung cancer. There are many consequences when you do drugs. For example, there was a boy named Tony who was addicted to drugs, and didn’t understand the consequences of his actions and died of lung cancer due to drugs and smoking. Forty-five percent of teenagers get addicted to smoking and die from lung cancer. Another reason why you shouldn’t do drugs is because most people end up getting addicted. When you get addicted to drugs the only way to solve your addiction problem is to go to rehab. Eighty percent of people who smoke can not control their addiction to drugs. First of all, doing drugs shortens your life span. My aunt died from smoking and drinking at age 50. The doctor said she would have lived another 21 years if she didn’t drink or do any drugs. Now you know why smoking and doing drugs is not the way to go. Because you won’t live as long as you’d like. You can get a serious illness, and get highly addicted. If you understand the threatening illnesses, then why do drugs? Live your life healthy. Remember no drugs no regrets!
