Debate: Should the age for smoking and drinking be lowered down?
Side: NO

Are you aware of how many people die from crossing the road? Do you know how many people have been hit by sober drivers?People who were hit by a sober driver, it probably was an accident. And if not an accident, then it was a crazy driver. And those two things we can't do much about. But we can do something about drunk drivers. We can ban alcohol.Yeah, parents shouldn't smoke near their kids. Simple solution: smoke outside.Wow, you just solved a big problem in our world.Sorry to say, parents still do this. Pregnant women smoke, parents smoke inside. Kids even smoke. You haven't solved anything sorry.But still, if the parents smoke outside it still affects the children, but there is smaller chance of them getting any disease, but it's still there.When people smoke on the porch, balcony or whatever they have, when they go inside, some of the smoke manages to come inside to, when they open the door.Can you smell when someone just got a smoke? Yes you can, because the smoke is still on them and in them.They breathe smoke out even after their done smoking. They breathe it out to the kids to breathe in.If their smoking outside, then they lower the chance of their children to get diseases yes, but the risk is still there.  If that was true, hardly anyone would have to buy cigarettes, they'd just stand around some other person with a fag.Yeah, I know that isn't true.But it is true, that you only get 30% of the cigarette in your own body when smoking. The rest goes out in the air around you. And that air is the same air that someone else is breathing in. You know how smoking goes right? You breathe something in, and then you breathe out a Grey smoke? That's the smoke I'm talking about. If you don't want to breath in second hand smoke don't stand next to someone who is smoking it really is that simple.It isn't that simple.Parents still cause their children diseases because they smoke, even if they smoke outside. And the smoke a smoker smokes out to me to breathe, it isn't just hanging around the smoker. It goes into the whole room. And if outside, it goes with the wind, and someone can breathe it in. And if that person is very sensitive or something, they can easily develop asthma. The risk is low, yes I know. But it is there.People crash cars whilst drunk. People will also crash whilst soberA drunk driver is in 13 times as much risk, as a sober driver is. 35,3 of every car crash is alcohol related.I searched some facts about alcohol, and I'll give you six here:1. 250,000 people in America died in alcohol related accidents in the past 10 years.2. Presently 25,000 people are killed each year in alcohol related accidents, in America.3. 500 people in America are killed each week in alcohol related accidents.4. 71 people are killed each day in alcohol related accidents in America5. One American life is lost every 20 minutes in alcohol related auto crashes.6.It is estimated that one out of every two Americans will be involved in an alcohol related accident in his or her lifetime.Second hand smoke has a small effect on those breathing it in.That goes for some people. Some people are more sensitive than others, and you can cause lung cancer, COL and asthma, and several other diseases if you smoke.Don't ban everyone from having fun just because you don't want to.I want to ban it. I don't see the fun in giving others cancer.
