THE DANGEROUS OF SMOKING

Until now there are still many people that keep smoking. But

we think if everyone knows that smoking is dangerous for health.

Why smoking is dangerous?

Before we are going to smoke, it’s better to look at the fact. A

2004 study by the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease

Prevention and Health Promotion found that cigarette smoke

contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause

cancer. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases

caused by smoking. Adult male smokers lose an average of 13.2

years of life and female smokers lose 14.5 years of life because

of smoking, and given the diseases that smoking can cause, it

can steal your quality of life long before you die.

Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. Secondhand smoke

also causes about 35,000 deaths from heart disease in people who are not

smokers. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die

of lung cancer than a non-smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the

risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis

are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to

die of heart disease than non-smokers.

Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and

pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non-smoker breathes as much as

substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.

  Smoking is not good for smokers and people around smokers. However

smoking is very good for Cigarette Companies.  Because they have much

money from smoking habit. However smoking is not good for everybody else.

GENERIC STRUCTURE

Thesis: This pre-conclusive paragraph states the writer’s point of

view about the topic discussed. In paragraph 1 is the thesis of this

analytical exposition text. It states the fact of the very fatal impact of the

smoking habit. Clearly that smoking is not a good habit.

Arguments: The argument will strengthen the thesis stated

before. In this example of analytical exposition text, paragraph 2 and 3 are

the detail arguments presented in a reporting fact to support that smoking

is not good even for smokers themselves. Furthermore, people who do not

smoke but they are in smoky area have the bad effect too from the

smoking habit.

Reiteration: This end paragraph actually is restating the thesis.

The last paragraph of this example of analytical exposition points again

that smoking is not good for smokers and people around smokers. But

smoking is good for cigarette companies.
