Smoking has many serious effects. The most obvious effect is the deterioration of a smoker's health. Smoking increases the risk of lung disease, increases blood pressure, increases the risk of heart attacks, and reduces the flow of oxygen to the brain. Smoking creates respiratory problems. Another effect of this habit is that smoking breeds halitosis; a smoker's breath always smells foul and repulsive. Smoking frequently results in social isolation. Friends and acquaintances often bluntly tell their smoking friends that they don't want the smell in their cars or in their homes. The strong offensive odor of smoke clings to smokers' clothing, hair, and skin. The final effect of smoking is that it consumes too much money. Smoking is now an expensive habit, and the price of cigarettes continues to rise. The effects of smoking are many, which leaves one wondering why intelligent people do not find a way to break their harmful addition.

Q.B) Write any expository composition showing comparison and contrast between things, events, situations, places , actions , ideas or problems

It has been heard for ages that the lifestyle varies between a city and a village. Undoubtedly, there is a great difference in the lifestyle among people living in villages and cities. Neither of them is above one another, but surely each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

It is considered that life in a city is almost equal to heaven and is wonderful and enjoyable. The reason behind such kind of thinking or feeling is only because cities get expanded and more opportunities are made available for the people. The doors for each opportunity are more open in cities when compared to villages and therefore the facilities and comfort would be different from what one may find in villages. Cities provide great facilities for education, medical treatments, job opportunities etc. which makes life more settled and takes it to the next level. The life led in a city is more enjoyable, therefore.

However, things are different in villages. Though the lifestyle is not as advanced as what we see in the cities, the culture and attitude of people are more warm and welcoming. They are more considerate and know each other well in the village. They are more friendly and traditional in both their beliefs and practices. For them, the daily need to be met is itself taken as an enjoyment and all their works are shared and helped by each other.

When coming to the kind of food habits that people of both these places follow. People living in cities are more vulnerable to many diseases because of their sedentary lifestyle and fast food intake. However, in villages, people stick to the old homemade food habits and since transportation is still to be up to the mark, a lot of exercising happens and this helps them to remain fit and healthy in the long run.

Coming to the health of people in regard to pollution. Since cities are heavily populated and each member having vehicles, the amount of pollution is extremely high in cities and this has led to a great amount of pollution and allergic diseases, even in small kids. However, in villages, the question of pollution does not come as such as fresher and less polluted air is available, which is good for both health and mind. People are more systematic and scheduled and get their work done by themselves.

For more expansion and growth, one must definitely move to cities because they have more opportunities that would help one grow professionally. However, to understand the moral values and culture of a state, one needs to spend some time in life in a village.
