Second attempt on question
Did you know that smoking not only harms smokers but also puts innocent lives at risk? Every year, 4 out of 10 smokers die due to smoking related illnesses. Even worse, 3 out of 10 secondary smokers those exposed to second hand smoking also lose their lives because of it.
Smoking causes severe health problems, including lung cancer, heart disease, and breathing disorders. But it doesn’t just affect smokers. Children, family members, and even strangers in public spaces are forced to inhale toxic smoke, which can damage their lungs and impact their mental health. This is known as secondary smoking, and it is just as dangerous.
Some industries and public spaces have already taken steps to limit smoking. However, others profit from this deadly habit, valuing money over human lives. If we know smoking is so harmful, why are we still allowing it in public places?
It’s time to act. Smoking doesn’t just affect you it harms your friends, your family, and even the environment. If you won’t stop for yourself, stop for the people around you.
Help them. Help us. Help the environment. Every small effort counts let’s work together to make public spaces smoke free.
