My speech

Kia ora,

Here is my speech about why smoking is bad.

         Smoking is bad

Smoking is bad - I will tell you why. Smoking can cause lung damage, cigarettes are expensive and second hand smoke is bad for kids.

1. Smoking is bad because it gives you lung damage.Cigarettes are full of nasty chemicals. You breathe in the smoke. And you don't know when you are breathing in the smoke and the people that smoke will get sick. Around 5000 people die each year in New Zealand because of smoking or second-hand smoke exposure. That's 13 people a day. It is not too late to quit.

2. Smoking is bad because it costs a lot of money. The Money could be spent on things you need but people just use their money so fast by buying more cigarettes. The more smoking you do the poorer you get. Smoking a pack a day costs around $8,300 per year or approximately $160 a week. This is based on pack of 20 that costs $22.80

3. Smoking is bad because kids can get sick.  If people are smoking around kids, they are surrounded by smoke fumes. It’s not their choice. So that's why people should not smoke cause you and kids can get very very sick but it's all from smoking.

Here is why you shouldn’t smoke.
