Tobacco Industries

The tobacco that is made causes cancer and so many other diseases, but the tobacco industries won't stop making tobacco products because of the extremely high profits they receive from it. Many people are lured into using the tobacco products by the many advertisements they have in the media about the tobacco industries. Tobacco is addicting and is expensive to the consumer. They are spending a lot on the product that is not healthy for them.
The tobacco that is made causes cancer and so many other diseases. They have had warnings for years that tobacco products are hazardous to your health written right on the packages, and most recently they have put disturbing photos of what problems tobacco products can actually cause. Unfortunately, it does not discourage people to stop using tobacco products. In fact, people collected and traded the pictures, and looked at it as a game and not a warning.
The tobacco industries won't stop making tobacco products because of the extremely high profits they receive from it. If you think about it, they make a lot of money. First of all you take the amount of smokers there are in the world, and then you think about how many packs they buy weekly or maybe even daily. Then you multiply that number by the cost of each pack. Now you have billions of dollars in sales per year. That's not mentioning chewing tobacco.
Many people are lured into using tobacco products by the many advertisements they have in magazines, newspapers, and through the sponsorship of certain sports. For example races like the Indy 500 where the sports car has the sponsors names in large letters on the car, and the race is televised. These advertisements create the image that they will be cool if they use their products.
The tobacco made causes cancer and so many other diseases, but the tobacco industries won't stop making tobacco products because of the extremely high profits they receive from it. Many people are lured into using tobacco products by the many advertisements. I hope that what I explained made you believe my argument's points, and that the facts can be seen everywhere.
