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.
