WhatDAREMeans to Me
by David

Have you ever wondered what's in that tobacco that you smoke or chew? There's lot of stuff in it that I don’t want in my body. I'm going to tell you why I'm not going to use tobacco. I'm going to talk about: smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, or chaw, and the consequences of using tobacco.

First, there's smoking tobacco. I'm not going to smoke because; smoke from tobacco can be very deadly. Cigarettes contain nuclear waste, rat poison, toilet cleaner, and lots of other toxic and deadly poisons. Smoking will give me bad breath, yellow teeth, and will destroy my lungs even more than regular since I have asthma.

Chewing tobacco is just as bad as smoking it! I'm not going to do chaw, as some call it, either. Chewing tobacco can give me cancer. It could do the same with you! It will wreck my mouth and tongue. Sick, right?

Finally, there's the consequences of using tobacco. Tobacco is a bad drug so I'm not going to use it. If I do use it, somebody should slap the heck out of me. I could get sent to jail if I smoke or chew tobacco under a special age. Another thing. This one guy, he used so much tobacco that he had to have some surgery on his jaw! I don't want that happening to me!

I know I'm going to make the right choice of not using tobacco or any drug. I don't want my life wrecked! I want to live very long and proud. Don't you?
