When you get in your car to go to work or the grocery store, do you ever stop and think “That might be the last time I see my family.”? Have you ever checked the batteries for the smoke detectors in your house just in case there was ever a fire? Isn’t it a responsibility for parents to warn their pre-teens about the dangers of drugs and safe sex? Maybe America should add something new to the list; tobacco. Every year tobacco kills more people than homicide, suicide, AIDS, car accidents, drugs, and alcohol combined. Smoking kills 440,000 Americans every year and is the single most preventable cause of early death. Tobacco abuse is one of the biggest problems facing Americans today.
The root of this ongoing problem lies within our own adolescence. Most adult smokers became addicted to tobacco before the age of 21.

If anyone is around second hand smoke for a prolonged period of time (years), then they are at high-risk of developing a smoking related disease or complication later in life. This is the reason why many non-smokers feel threatened, and in selected states (i.e. California) there has been a change in laws to deny smoking in public places. In these few states, there is to be no smoking in public restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. This change shows that people are starting to become more aware about this growing nasty habit and are doing everything they can to stop it from spreading.
If this doesn’t make anyone want to quit smoking, I don’t know what will. Tobacco is a major problem in our country today, an
