【吸烟有害(SmokingIsHarmful)_高中英语作文】Smoking is a serious problem that affects not only the smokers themselves but also those around them. Although some people think that smoking helps them relax or cope with stress, the truth is that it brings more harm than good.

First of all, smoking is extremely bad for health. It can cause many diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease, and chronic bronchitis. These illnesses are not only painful but also expensive to treat. Many people who smoke suffer from long-term health issues, which can shorten their life expectancy. In addition, secondhand smoke is also dangerous. People who live with smokers or work in places where smoking is allowed may also be affected by the harmful effects of tobacco.

Secondly, smoking is a waste of money. A pack of cigarettes may seem cheap, but over time, the cost adds up. For example, if a person smokes one pack a day, they will spend about 1,000 yuan a month on cigarettes. This money could be used for something more useful, like saving for education, buying books, or even traveling.

Moreover, smoking is not a good habit to develop. As high school students, we should try to build healthy lifestyles. Smoking can lead to addiction, making it hard to quit later. Once someone starts smoking, it’s difficult to stop because of the nicotine in cigarettes. This can affect their studies and daily life.

In conclusion, smoking is harmful to both the body and the mind. It is important for young people to understand the dangers of smoking and avoid it. We should encourage others to stay away from cigarettes and promote a healthier lifestyle. Only by doing so can we protect our health and live a better life.
