Some people think that smoking makes them look cool and helps them relax. I don’t agree. In my opinion, not only is smoking harmful for people’s health, but it also makes people look bad.

　　First of all, as everyone knows, cigarettes contain nicotine. If you smoke lots of cigarettes, the nicotine in them will hurt different parts of your body and make you sick. The worst thing is that people also get addicted to nicotine. Once you start smoking, it’s very hard to give up. Also, smoking gives you yellow fingers, yellow teeth and bad breath. No one would think that is cool in any way. Besides, cigarettes cost a lot of money, which could be otherwise spent on more useful things, like books, clothes or CDs.

　　As you can see, smoking does nothing good for us. I hope more and more people will realize this and try their best not to smoke.
