Smoking

So my name is Abhi i am in Mr.Raisdanas class and there are a few main reasons i joined this topic, one being ashthmatic i feel this problem is a big impact on the world. People like me who have asthma not only have a disadvantage from having the problem, but if people are spitting aall this nasty gunk into the air around you and you cant breath, then well i dont know. My message to smokers is "Smoke if you wish but dont exhale if your spitting that smoke out what makes you think other people want it in their air?"

I also think we should cover what brings teens to smoke. Factors such as peer pressure and popularity bear a great impact on our world.

 

Our message about smoking in teeenagers is that you risk your life by smoking and destroy your inside body and life without gaining any benefits. 

 

How we are going to presente our message in our documentary is since smoking is totally bad you will see in the domuntary just bad things therefor you will see there is no benefit.

 

By putting images we will show how smoke damages the human body and what parts does it damage, other pictures or images that we will put are people in the habitat of smoke, also that life is better without smoke, we will show some people smoking becuase of stress, and we will put other pictures that have to be with smoking. In our fisrt part in the documentary we are going to put how does smoke affect teenagers, how those our lungs change from healthy lungs to diseased lungs,our second part will have what are some reasons that people smoke, what causes and effect does smoke do?, and our third part we will have what effect does nicotine havein your body,what are some reasons not to start smoking, and other will be second-hand smoking.

 

In our subtopic we will show how does smoke affect earth, you also will see some cool facts about smoking, and other thing is that we will show you a special thing that helps you stop consuming smoke called NICOUT.

 

 

 

I got some information from a web called Teens Health. You don’t have physical reasons to smoke. Your body doesn’t need tobacco like it will need water, food, exercise and sleep. The body's smart and it goes on the defense when it's being poisoned. For these reason people need to try smoking many times to get started smoking. First smokers feel like a pain or a burn in there throat. Others feel sick and wanting to throw up.

 

The consequences of these poisoning happens gradually. Over the long period of smoking this leads people to have serious health problems like cancer , emphysema, and lung disease and organ damage. These diseases limit a people to be normal active. Each you smoke a cigarette or a tobacco you will get 5 to 12 minutes of your life.

 

Here we have an example of a healthy lung tissue and a diseased lung tissue.

Smoker not only put there teeth yellow, they also decrease bones weight and increase running the risk of having osteoporosis. is a condition that causes older people bones to break apart easily. Smokers are also less active than non-smoker because smoking affects lungs power. Also smoking can cause fertility problems between man and women.

The consequences of smoking for the teenagers may seem very far from them. These are some problems smoking can cause:

Bad skin: because smoking restricts blood vessels it can prevent oxygen and nutrients to get to your body. So that will cause to your skin to see pale and unhealthy.

Bad breath: those cigarettes leave smokers with a persistent bad breath.

Bad smelling clothe and hair: the smoke smelling tends to linger on your body. That doesn’t lives only on your clothe. Also on your hair, car and furniture and the smell of smoke is really hard to get off.

Reduced athletic performance: people who smoke usually can’t compete with people who don’t smoke because physical effects of smoking.

Increased risk of illness: studies say that people who smoke get more bronchis, fever, colds and disease. People with certain health conditions like asthma get sicker if they smoke. Teens who smoke get their body lack of nutrients they need in order to grow, develop, and fight of illness properly.

 

I think that if you know that smoking affects your health why consuming it. If you get to smoke a lot you will get serious health problems like emphysema and cancer. Also those serious health problems would not only affect you, it will also affect your family because you run a huge risk of dying. So you need to think in your family too. If you smoke also you are not going to be as active as a normal person. Do you want to have your lungs like the one shown?

 

Also I don’t think someone will like you if they see you with a cigarette in there hand. Besides that your teeth will be yellow. Also your hair will smell horrible and you will have bad breath. And when someone enters your car it will smell cigarette. I really don’t recommend you to smoke, you will not have benefits, and you will have bad things.

 

I will want to know about in how many time you will get lung disease. How those it affects to your lungs. And smelling the smoke of others affects you.

 

As you all know we all have friends, friends for moments and friends that are for our whole life, and these are the true friends, but the thing is that you really don’t know what kinds of friends you have until a certain moment; the moment in which they force you to do something that you really don’t want to do, for example to smoke. Most teenagers like begging from the age of 12 all the way through an adult age if you stop smoking, but if you don’t it will be for all life because while you are consuming it, you will get addicted to it and more if you are surrounded by people that are consuming it because you will start to accustom to the habitat and then you will get their same habits and you will end as a smoke addicted. People normally smoke in situations of stress and others do this for pleasure. For example in Spain is a place in which we see that suffer most of cancer in people’s lungs, and there child starting from 11 years start smoking because they think that for them is normal because in their homes all the times they see their parents, aunts, grandparents and their whole family smoking, so for them is really normal.

 

Second-hand smoke is bad because of their toxic chemicals and gases that you are consuming while you are smoking it, the only thing is that does not have or obtain nicotine, but however it is toxic. The chemicals and gases that second-hand smoke haves could damage you airways, also it would be harder for your breathing. Then you will end with asthma, pneumonia, and ear and sinus infections, also you can not make sports any more if you were doing it before, and the most danger thing that will cause you is CANCER in your heart and probably die. If you do not want to be like these o practically you do not want to ruin your life, please don’t do these, and if you already did it, I tell you that it will be better that you go to a psychology and take classes, so you would get out of smoking. So by being with friends that smoke do not will help you that much, so choose better your friends if you do not want to get into smoke or if you want to be with them be with them but when they start to smoke go away to any other part because it would be very bad for you. Also if in your family your parents are smoking or any member of your family are doing these please tell them that it is very danger for them and tell them what could happen if they continue doing it.

Questions or comments

 

 

 

Is this only going to be about teens who smoke or is it also secondhand smoke and effect of friends or parents smoking? Abhi (mr.raisdanas)

 

Wow Abhi... You are doing a great job. Hi, My name is Miki from Mr. R's class, and I wrote a poem about teenager's smoking. Well, I am not so poetic, but I think I tried my best... Well, please also visit my blog!!!

 

 

Teenager’s smoking

Feeling dizzy?

Can you imagine how sad your parents will feel when they find out?

Can you imagine the loss of your friends?

Can you imagine how your lungs are invaded?

 

It affects people around you

Even people who do not smoke

Even people who you love

Even you, yourself

 

There are no-benefits

Nothing is cool about smoking

People may laugh at what I am saying now

But many people die because of it

 

The friendships should not include illegal things

Smoking is not one of the ways of making good friends

People could smoke when they got old enough to take responsibilities

But I am sure that they will feel regret

 

It is like a drug

People choose to die like a dog because of smoking

It is not a smart way of having a nice future

And, we, teenagers have to start stopping it.

 

Hi! This is Miki. I wrote another poem about teen-smoking, so yeah...(I hope it got better)

 

 

Teenager's smoking

 

 

 

I know life is tough

Never get an A+

Never become popular

Can never be hot

 

Your Parents get mad like crazy

They never treat you like an adult

They even tell you to sleep at 10

They are getting annoying

 

Your friends ditch you so easily

Standing alone

Have no-one to talk with

Looking so stupid

 

But, hey

Your life still goes on

You do not hate yourself that much right?

Teenagers are all like you

 

So, you do not smoke like your dad.

He can not stop smoking

Although his doctor told him to stop

Although he started to smell badly

 

Real friends do not care about how cool you are

Real friends help you improve a lot as a person

Real friends entertain you

Real friends never recommend you to do unhealthy things

 

Imagine how your parents would react

Imagine how you would lose your friends, even the good ones

Imagine how your lungs get black

Imagine how you would smell in the future

Imagine how you make other people unhealthy

Imagine…

 

I think this poem is really powerful. If people would just imagine what would happen to them before they started smoking, maybe they'd think twice before starting. You chose really powerful words in this poem and it really sounds like once you started writing your mind just flowed. I don't have any suggestions for you on this poem because it is soooo good!!!!

-Anna =)

 

 

Hey ABhi here i also did a poem

 

 

 

Breathing out your waste

Into someone else’s face

You don’t bloody care

You can smoke but please don’t share

 

Your there just sitting

Someone else is dying

Respect that someone else

Keep your smoke inside yourself

 

Now they’re almost dead

The smokes gone to they’re head

They’re lungs begin to fail

Smoke if you wish, but don’t exhale

 

Now they’ve died

Their bodies fried,

They couldn’t hold on, as their breathing heaved

You’re a murderer, all because you breathed

 

I think this poem is really powerful. When you think about it, people you smoke around other people really are murderers. The other person could've never smoked a day in their live and they died all due to the person smoking. I love this poem, it's really meaningful. I think it would put a lot of guilt on people that smoke as well. Awesome job!

Hi, my name is Michelle Hiett, I choose this group because both my granparents were smokers. My grandma was the quantest little women you would have ever met, she knew every song ever writen. When she was in her70's she got lung cancer, I was only 7 and she and my grandpa were my only ones who acted like grandparents. My mom's parents , just for example, made my mom pay them to baby sit  my brother, sister, and me, or take me to a soccer game. So I was very close to my dad's parents who lived in Mertile Beach. When my grandma go lung cancer it seemed like the world had falled out of the solar system, and yet my grandma allways was happy. I'd see her singing her favorite song "Shine Little Glow Worm" and when she was on chemo she joked about buying a clown wig because she was looseing her hair. My grandpa had 3 heart attacks, the 1st left him i a weel chair, the second left him parilized on one side and the other led him to his grave. My familly always spent the summer down at Mertile Beach with them till they died when i was seven. They died seven weeks apart, grandma from lungcancer, grandpa from a heart attack my grandma for lung cancer.
