Smoking/Vaping Should Be Illigal In Australia
Boy Overboard
Imagine you opening your eyes and you see a thick cloud of something that you don't recognize but then you notice it’s smoke from either a vape or a cigarette.
If you smoke in a popular area like for example Melbourne before you pull out your pack of cigarettes or vape, look around you, are there any kids? No then use it. But if there is, don't use either of them because the smoke can wreck kids lungs because they are too young to inhale all that nicotine. I am furious because for every 8 smokers that die, one non-smoker die from secondhand smoke,(if you didn’t know what second hand smoke is, it is smoke that has already been used by someone else) just imagine if you have never smoked in your life but you die because people around you smoke.
Listen to this, let's say you’re walking down the path and you start coughing, and at first you don’t worry about it but then you cough and it burns the back of your throat and then you look down at your brand new white t-shirt and there is blood on your shirt, that's because you smoke(if you don't smoke, please don’t take it personally). You will get chronic lung disease if you smoke/vape. You will also get asthma(I have asthma but I don’t smoke/vape but of course I don’t because I'm only 11). YOU NEED TO STOP THIS HORRIBLE HABIT!
One of my favorite things is spending time with my family and friends but if you smoke/vape you have less time to do that because one cigarette takes away 11 minutes of your life. So that’s why smoking/vaping should be banned in Australia. Only you, yes you the person(or people) reading this can make the decision to smoke/vape. STOP SMOKING AND VAPING!
In conclusion, smoking/vaping is deadly to the human body. So please I’m begging you stop smoking/vaping, it's better for the environment, the people around you, and Australia.

Here is the first chapter of Boy overboard
Hopefully I can find my mum somewhere here, I thought anxiously.
¨Jamal why are we here?¨ a little girl asks who I think is her brother
¨Where here to find mum and dad remember,¨ The brother explains
¨Hey, are you guys looking for your parents?¨ I question
¨Yes, they left us like two hours ago and we are hoping to find them,¨ The boy replies
¨Iḿ Steph and is it ok if I ask for your names?¨ I ask
¨Yeah sure I am Jamal and this is Bibi,¨he answers. I am on my tip-toes trying to see if I can see my mum to get me a ball, and maybe even a trainer but I need to find her so she can even do that. I am feeling sick to my stomach because I have never been apart from my mum for this long and I don't want to be an orphan since I have already lost my dad to a car crash. I hear a distant rumble getting closer but suddenly an army truck pulled into the stadium and onto the field and 5 women were tied to the goal post and I notice my mum is there. The two kids scream¨MUM¨ I scream as well¨MUM!¨ I can finally find my mum.
