Tobacco

Tobacco is put into cigarettes. Everywhere you go, you can find people that smoke cigarettes. Cigarettes are increasingly causing cancer and many other sicknesses in people that smoke them. They can also cause sicknesses in people that don't smoke, but have to live with people that do. The smoke from other people's cigarettes can get into your lungs and harm you too! This type of smoke is called second hand smoke. This can be very harmful to you, so at least tell the person who smokes to smoke outside so it doesn't stay in the house.

Before watching this YouTube video, I must warn you that there are blood and guts in it. But if you're okay with that, the video shows you how smoking cigarettes can be harmful to your organs.
