The Dangers of Smoking 

Until now there are still many people that keep smoking. Although I think all of us know that smoking is very dangerous for health. Why?

Firstly, because a smoker inhales a substance which contains 43 carcinogenic compounds. What is carcinogen? It is a compound which causes cancer.

Secondly, a smoker also inhales 400 other toxins including nicotine and tar. Nicotine leads to smoking addiction. Tar clogs the lungs and inhibits the body’s capacity to breathe, it causes lung and throat cancer, heart disease, emphysema, bronchitis, and lung disorders.

Thirdly, people who don’t smoke also suffer the effects of smoker. Especially if they live with a smoker. The dangers of passive smoking is particles from smoke in the air are smaller than in smoke drawn directly from a cigarette, so it can penetrate deeper into the lungs if we inhale it.

From those reasons, we can conclude that smoking is very dangerous for our health.

The importance of school bus

www.themegallery.comCompany Logo

According to me, school bus is very important for students. They really need school bus for several reasons.

First, school bus is the easiest way to help students when they go to school. It also teaches students to have high discipline. The students must be ready when the school bus arrives to pick them. If not, they will be left.

Second, school bus can ease students whose houses are far from their school. They do not need to go to school by public transportation. It means that they don’t need too much money for transportation.

From the reason above, I personally believe that it’s important that school provides school bus for the students.
