Writing Chain : Smoking Must be Stopped - by class 26

[Introduction]
   Hi, my name is Eleanor and my Korean name is Soha Jung. I am in class 26 at the 15th GLPS. We, class 26 did an exercise which is called 'Writing Chain' and it goes like this. First, I start to write a paragraph for 5 to 10 minutes. However, we don't just start writing on an empty paper. Some words are written in the paper and we should start writing using the words. In my case, 'must be stopped' was written on the paper. After about 5 to 10 minutes, we pass the paper to the other person and they start to write the paragraphs again and it keeps going for about an hour. Now I am going to write the paper that I started,




[Smoking must be stopped]
   Smoking must be stopped. Nowadays, people are smoking more than the days before. Also, the worse problem is that teenagers too, are smoking and it is becoming more serious. Therefore, I strongly agree that smoking must be banned.

   First of all, I think that smoking must be stopped because it's bad for health. It is proven scientifically that smoking cigaretts give a terrible effect to the smoker's lungs. It is also well-known that the smokers have more probabilities to have lung cancer. And now we all know that smoking can lead us to cancer so we should stop doing things that makes our health worse.

   Next, smoking is not only bad for your health, but it gives harm to other people. Second-hand smoking is also bad, just like the first-hand smoking. When you smoke, the harmful elements in the cigarettes and the smoke of it is very harmful for other people who are around you. Therefore, we should not only ban the smoking in public places, but ban it completely.

   Also, smoking gives negative effects to pregnant women and to their babies. This could lead to a serious global tragedy. If women smoke boith on first-hand and second-hand, they'll possibly give birth to mutated babies, As the babies grow up, there will be social issues such as people suffering from depression caused by the disappointment they have about their own bodies. How can there be a normal world with peace when all the people are depressed?

   Moreover, smoking gives displeasure to others. There will be nobody who would like the terrible smell of the cigarette when they are having a conversation with you. The more you smoke, the more your lungs' condition gets worse. Your body shape will be ruined too. Did you ever think about the results after smoking? If you didn't, you need to think about it which is horrible. You don't want to mess up your own life with a paper rolled up with harmful substances inside it, do you?

   Furthermore, smoking can give some bad effects to teenagers as they follow some actions from adults including smoking cigarettes. Teenagers are very curious about many things. Also, they want to be an adult faster as they have no unique group that they are included which means they are not kids but they not adults either. So, with these two facts, teenagers copy some bad actions from adults and this makes additional problems with smoking.
