  Dear Friend,
  I've heard that you have been thinking about smoking. That is just the worst thing to do. You could get lung cancer or other cancers. Plus the smoke will make you smell and it destroys your teeth. How gross is that? Do not start smoking. It will ruin your life. Later you will regret it. Trust me.
  from your friend,
  Shrimp

  If one of my friends started to use tobacco, I would do a little research on the subject and look for shocking facts on how bad it is. Then I would fo to him/her and tell them these facts. I would also show them websites that I would have visited, and shown them the facts that I had researched to show them how bad it really is. I would show them the Stoma, the Emphysema, all the tar that enters the lungs after a short period of smoking. I would show them AND tell them all the different types of tobacco use like dip, a cigarette, cigars, and pipes. I would then tell them about the leukoplakia that appears when you chew tobacco. I would probably show them the video that we watched in class, (If I sould somehow get it). I would show them as many facts about all different types of tobacco and try to get him/her to see some REAL people that have some sort of smoking related disease. If that didn't work, I wouldn't know what to do! If they were like that really tall black kid in the video we watched I would probably be didapointed in him/her. But that's just what I would do.

  Dear Kevin Mclovin,
  I am going tell you 4 or more ways not to use tobacco, first it gives you yellow teeth and tar in your lungs. Tobacco also gives you a chance of getting cancer in your respiratory system. It also makes you feel like you age faster and get more wrinkles and other old features. It also makes get out of breathe easier and makes your hard work harder so you can't exercise like jogging for a long period of time. Plus it can shorten your life or make it miserable for you with all it's terrible or even deadly effects.

  Dear people how smoke
  you should stop using tobacco because it will make you age faster and mite give you a stoma. If you get a stoma you mite have to burp talk. Also you could get cancer. Another reason is your body temp will stay cold longer than a person that does not smoke. Last is your lungs will get all black with tobacco, and it will get harder to breath.

  Dear Jason,
  You need to stop smoking. The reasons are because if you don't, you might need a stoma( a hole in your throat that helps you breath). And you could also get lung cancer and die. So you should stop any type of tabacco, chewing or smoking. You also can get mouth or lung cancer. So, as a friend, STOP SMOKING!!!
  Your friend,
  Toast King

  Dear, sycokid1597. I heard that you we're going to start smoking. I hope you don't because there are so many harmful chemicals in tobacco. Like nicotine, nicotine is a drug that speeds up you're heart rate and raises you're blood pressure. A another drug in tobacco is cyanide, cyanide is a deadly poison. Heres another huge fact that might scare you about smoking. Did you know that 1,200 people die every DAY from smoking. Also if you smoke to long you can get a mouth cancer that they have to get rid of by taking out your voice box and if they do that you will have a hole in your throat that everyone will see.

  Dear friend,
  Before you start using tobacco, I want to tell you some harmful things about what it can do. When you use tobacco your more likely to get lip or gum cancer. When you smoke, you can get many different cancers, like cancer in your larynx or in your lungs. Smoking affects how long you live and how you look as you age. Research has shown that smoking reduces your life by about 7-8 years. Cardiovascular disease is the main disease caused by smoking.
  I hope you chose not to smoke.

  Dear Mr. O,
  You need to stop smoking! Tobacco use is very addictive and it can cause diseases, cancer and death. There are 4000 chemicals in tobacco with 100 identified poisons and 63 known drugs which cause cancer. Nicotine is the most common drug in a cigarette and it is also the most addicted substance in them. An estimated 3,000 non-smoking Americans die from lung cancer. 3,000 (non-smokers), can you believe that? Just by inhaling the tobacco smoke they can die from lung cancer. You smoking it and putting it in your mouth is worse. If you want to die or suffer from smoking, go ahead keep doing it. Hope you turn out as pretty as me though! You won't by smoking.

  Dear Friend,
  Hey, I've heard you have started smoking and I think it needs to stop. In cigarette's there are 60 carcinogenic substances which means they cause cancer. Also 1,200 people die a day from smoking! Do you want to be one of those people, because I don't. Another thing is that you can get a stoma! A stoma is a hole in your neck, people look at you funny, you can't smell, and the only way to talk is burp talking! I hope you can see this isn’t cool at all this is serious and you need to stop!

  Dear Friend,
  
  I don’t think you should start smoking. You’re probably going to ask me why, and to save myself from writing another letter I’ll tell you now. One reason is the nicotine in the tobacco is addictive and that means once you start it’s hard to stop. The tobacco can even reduce the flow of oxygen to your brain which can cause a stroke. Also, all forms of tobacco can cause cancer in the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, and pancreas. Just one puff of tobacco smoke has more than 4,000 chemicals in it and of those four thousand, 38 of them are cancer causing. If you want to know specific chemicals in a cigarette here are some examples. Tar- a dark thick liquid that forms when tobacco burns and, as I said before, nicotine is a type of drug in the tobacco. So now you know just how bad smoking is and I hope I was able to keep you from starting.
  
  From,
  Smartie

  Dear Friend,
  I’m very concerned for your health. I’ve heard you have been experimenting with smoking cigarettes. If your thinking of becoming a smoker I want to tell you the real facts first. Smoking is incredibly bad for your health. It’s so bad that everyday 1,200 people die from smoking. Cigarettes contain almost 4,000 chemicals, many of which are carcinogenic. A few chemicals in cigarettes are tar, nicotine, arsenic, ammonia, and carbon monoxide. I know you like to play sports and I also know that if you smoke your play will be greatly effected. Smoking slows blood circulation and forces the heart to work harder. I know I can’t force you to stop but I can at least give you the facts. I hope you make the right decision.
  Your Friend,
  Zach Flinkstrom
