We’ll Lose Children’s Innocence.

Children are the most wonderful things in our life. Around the world, there are many ways to kill children’s innocence. In my country, Saudi Arabia, smoking is a dangerous thing for children because it’s allowed. I think the government should do something to stop this because it will harm children’s health, it’s bad habit, and it’s a first step on drugs way.

First of all, smoking harms kids’ health. It is bad for our children brains. Smoking effect is learning deficits affecting abstract thinking and it is very bad for their I.Q. Children will be suffering from lung cancer or asthma. They will lose their appetite and then lose weight.

Next, smoking is a bad habit. Most children smoke because they saw their family do that. They don’t have the ability to decide what is good or bad. Children think smoking will help them solve any problem because they always see people smoke if they have problem, want to think or decide something. They think it is easy to quit smoking, but that is impossible.

Finally, smoking is the first step to more harmful drugs. If children smoke when they are still young, so I think is easy to try any kind of drugs. After children smoke for a lot of time, their body will need something strong, which will push them to try marijuana or hashish. Children and teenagers always do what their friends do.

In conclusion, smoking is bad for children. It’s bad for the brain, health and I.Q. Also it’s a bad habit parent’s help children learn and it’s difficult to quit. In other words, smoking is easy and fast way to kill our children.
