The Harm Of Smoking - Speech or Presentation Example

I will not scare you out of your wits about the gory diseases caused by smoking. There is already a lot of literature about that and I am sure you have already read those. Just call this the cost-benefit analysis of smoking with a solution and reward should you quit.If this piece has made you reconsider the habit of smoking and decide to quit, it is not really as hard as you would like to believe it is. There are many ways to kick the habit out but you have to decide first that you do not want the habit anymore.

Let me begin getting your attention smokers by telling you that you stink. I do not mean figuratively but literally. The smell of cigar sticks and it stinks. Of course, you cannot smell that yourself but for people around you, the nicotine’s smell annoyingly stinks. People may not tell you in consideration to you but you can be an inconvenience to people around you. So if you are dating someone and the other person does not even want to get close to you, I think you already know the reason why.

It is hard to believe? Let’s do the math. A pack of cigarette costs an average of $5 a pack. Smokers normally consume a pack a day. Multiply that by 365 days and that will give you $1,825.
