Here is my choice of persuasive writing

Smoking should be banned!

I am going to be telling you why smoking should be banned. it doesn't just eat up your money every week it’s bad for you and your family it’s a deadly thing that a lot of people do.

Tobacco smoking seriously affects internal organs, particularly the heart and lungs, but it also affects your appearance. While these changes are generally not as life threatening as heart and lung disease, they can increase the risk of more serious disorders and have a noticeable ageing effect on the face and body. Research also shows that the more a person smokes, the greater the risk of premature wrinkling. Skin damaged by smoke has a grayish and wasted appearance.

Smoking is one of the worst things to do. As soon as you take your very first puff and every time after that your lungs are infected Every time you inhale your lungs are getting more and more damaged  and you’re getting closer to going to hospital or dying. Tobacco is the single greatest cause of preventable death globally. As many as half of people who use tobacco die from the results of this use.

Smoking is the largest cause of preventable death in the world. Over 440,000 people in the USA and 100,000 in the UK die because of smoking each year. According the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), $92 billion are lost each year from lost productivity resulting from smoking-related deaths. Of the more than 2.4 million deaths in the USA annually, over 440,000 are caused by smoking.

Here are the cancers you can get if you smoke.
  • Bladder cancer
  • Kidney cancer
  • Pharynx and Larynx cancer (throat cancer)
  • Mouth cancer
  • Esophagus cancer
  • Cancer of the pancreas
  • Stomach cancer
  • Some types of leukemia
  • Cancer of the nose and sinuses
  • Cervical cancer
  • Bowel cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • And in some cases breast cancer
Smoking should be banned because it is bad for your body. It can give you cancer, lung disease and other diseases. So I am telling you now to stop before you start.
