Finishing up high school, some of you might be turning 18. This means so many different things! You get to apply for your driver’s license, and vote for your first time, among other privileges. But some newly found privileges aren't as good as they seem to be. One trip to the corner store or gas station and you are bombarded with tobacco. Different products like cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, e-cigs, and vaporizers. You can now buy them, but why would you?
The decision is up to you. But remember, cigarettes and other tobacco-related products are basically designed to kill you, due to the fact there are no actual health benefits and they are full of toxic substances. The risks of smoking completely outweigh any possible positives. Cancer, throat and lung damage, gum disease, and heart disease are among the consequences of tobacco use. Also, you stink. Hate to say it but smokers reek. Anyone who smokes can be found by the distinct smoky odor around your clothes. Smoking marijuana is another temptation among teens, even though it’s definitely not an 18-year-old privilege. The devil's lettuce, kush, chronic, it comes in many names and many forms. It makes you high and smells like skunk. But before you go and spark up that blunt, think about is it even worth it. At our age, many different studies have shown that smoking marijuana can decrease grey matter in your brain. This damages sensory and muscle control. Also, smoking anything isn't good for your lungs. It also happens to be completely illegal. Now remember, you are legally grown up now, so the choice is yours. Are you going to do what’s best for your health or are you going to suffer the consequences? Henry Davis
