My speech which I got into the finals in the Sheppard house comp!!!

Smoking

Intro:

Would you like to develop bad breath, wrinkled skin,

rotten teeth, heart disease, cancer and even die young?

Well then smoking is for you. Good afternoon Miss Fisher

and class. Today i'm here to tell you some of the things

smoking does to your body and to try to persuade you

never to do it. Firstly I'm going to tell you some statistics

surrounding smoking, secondly,  I will tell you about what

happens to your body when you smoke and finally say some

of the diseases and illnesses you can get from smoking.

Did you know that every cigarette you smoke reduces your

lifespan by 11 minutes and is a huge waste of money, I mean

like the average smoker spends $160 a week which is nearly

$8500 a year just on cigarettes! Another interesting fact is

people who smoke are 20 times more likely to develop lung

cancer than non smokers. Smoking, it is a harmful thing, it

makes the risk of a heart attack 200% to 400% greater than

non smokers. Smoking is currently responsible for the death

of one in ten adults worldwide and if current smoking patterns

continue, it will cause 10 million deaths each year by 2020.

Now I will talk about what smoking does to your body. Your lungs

can be very badly affected by smoking, Coughs, colds, wheezing

and asthma are just the start. Smoking changes your brain and

makes you addicted to cigarettes.

Smoking can reduce your your hearing and your vision, cause

gum disease and gives you wrinkles. Smoking also raises

blood pressure and puts stress on your heart; it makes your

blood thick and sticky and more likely to clot; it also increases

cholesterol in the blood and narrows the blood vessels. Smoking

also makes it very difficult to exercise, imagine that, starting

school being the best at sport, leaving school being the worst

all because you started smoking.

On this last paragraph I will be telling you some of the

diseases you can get from smoking. Some diseases

you can get are heart diseases including heart attacks,

strokes, poor vision, lung cancer, blood cancer, diabetes

and a whole range of other cancers are more likely if you

smoke.

In order to lead a healthy life, you should not smoke.

The best thing to do is to never start because once you start,

you're addicted and it is very hard to quite. So if your mates tell

you try a cigarette, be the smart one, say no.
