Smoking

I have been assigned to write an essay on a subject that effects a community. I have chosen to do the issue of smoking and it's effect on a family. What I find challenging about this topic is that is that everybody already knows the danger of smoking, so my paper might be boring. Smoking has become such an epidemic that the dangers of smoking is now general knowledge. I feel it is important to include the effects of smoking and the dangers about it, but I won't go into too much detail. I will focus more on the effects that it can have on a family such as money issues and relationship issues. Although smoking is no as serious as doing other drugs like meth or marijuana, it is still bad for a person. They are still taking toxins into their bodies that will hurt them. For me smoking is a nasty habit and I can not stand the smell. Every time I walk by someone who is smoking I will always hold in my breath. I have seen the effects of smoking and I don't think I will ever be able to pick up a habit for smoking.
