In Peru more than 75 % of the population has become addicted to tobacco. 30% of men and 19% of women around the world smoke. 100,000 children under the age of 15 start smoking every day because of their parents. The children see their parents as a role model and follow in their example. 60.5% of people in the world have smoked at least once in their lives. Each day 10, 498 secondary school children start to smoke. If these teens continue to smoke an average of 5 million will eventually die from a smoking related disease. In the world today we have almost as many ex-smokers as we do current smokers.

 * Jessica, these are not fact fragments. **

In my opinion smoking shouldn’t be allowed in out-door places, homes or bathrooms. If a person is already addicted you could they use a craving patch and it will help you stop. If you need nicotine and think smoking will not do harm to you then go to YouTube and watch: How does smoking affect you? If that does not changes your mind then you have a high percentage of dying of a smoking related disease!
