My dream for America is for all Americans to stop using tobacco. There are two ways to use tobacco that I know of. One is smoking cigarettes, pipes, and cigars and the other is chewing tobacco. There is nothing good about using tobacco, but there are many things wrong with it.

Using tobacco causes many health problems. It causes diseases such as cancer, emphysema, and leukoplakia. The kinds of cancer are throat, lung, and mouth. Chewing tobacco causes white patches called leukoplakia in the mouth, gums, cheeks, or wherever tobacco contact is most frequent. Smoking tobacco turns your teeth yellow. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is an addictive drug. Second hand smoke can cause health problems for non-smokers, especially people with asthma. Second hand smoke is the exhaled smoke from the smoker and the non-smoker inhales the smoke.

Smoking cigarettes in bed causes fires in homes. Home fires kill approximately 1,000 and injure 4,000 Americans each year. One-third of the victims of fire are children. Fires happen in dry places, from people throwing cigarette butts in grass or wooded areas or trash.

People who smoke regularly tend to have a constant smell of cigarette smoke on their cloths, body, and hair. Some people smoke in their homes and the home is stained and saturated with smoke along with discolored walls and ceilings.

Smoking and chewing tobacco is a very expensive habit. The average cost of a pack of cigarettes or a can of chew is about $5.50, which would come out to about $2,000.00 a year if you bought a pack or can every day.

As you can see, using tobacco is not a good thing. If all Americans stopped using the tobacco, America would be a much happier and healthier place to be. NO MORE USING TOBACCO PLEASE! I want them to stop using tabacco because there are a lot of people who die from smoking and chewing tabacco and that is why I want people to stop smoking.
