UPFRONT: Smoking? RESPONSE

UPFRONT MAGEZINE: SMOKING!

Millions of people smoke tabbaco. In fact, this year there have already 480,000 deaths, just the U.S.A, but despite these deaths percentages have gone down. In the late 1990s people smoke the most, but since then percentages have gone down.

        Data has shown that since the 1990s tobacco use has de-creased. Also in the 2000s about 23% of teens smoked, now only 9%. There have been tons of commercials to get the word out to stop smoking. A lot of people also stopped smoking because lung cancer is a common disease caused by smoking.

        Also there has been evidence shown that the US government makes a huge amount of money off the tobacco industry. Upfront says that, that’s most likely why they haven’t made it illegal.

        On the other hand, smoking has been thought of as “cool”. For example on social media, Teenagers seemed to get more like if there was a pic of them smoking. But as (stated before) many commercials has gone out trying to spread to word to stop smoking.

So overall, there are still may deaths, but it we keep moving at a rate like this maybe we can finish smoking  by the end of a few years, and save the life of those who are addicted.
