Speech for pregnant woman about harm of smoking:
Dear ladies!!! Please be very attentive to your health, otherwise smoking can seriously affect both your own, and your baby's health!!! When you smoke, a lot of chemicals enter your body. Then they get into your bloodstream, and stop your baby from getting as much oxygen. This will affect your baby's growth rate and cause its heart rate to rise.
If you smoke during pregnancy, your baby is more likely to be born untimely, have poor lung function, have smaller organs, and what’s more terrible is a possibility to die! I don’t think that you would like to see your baby dead! I am sorry for such unpleasant words, but it’s true!
Also, when you smoke you chances of having an abortion are very high, you have a greater chance to have morning sickness, and you put your own health at risk, increasing the risk of conditions such as cancer and heart disease!
The sooner you stop smoking, the better - and it's never too late!!! Even stopping in the last few weeks of your pregnancy can still benefit you and your child!

Speech for teenagers about harm of smoking:

Hi, guys!

I know that it’s too boring to you listen to my speech about smoking, but you must know some cases which probably set thinking about it.

First of all, smoking does a lot of harm to people’s health and kills an enormous number of them every year. Smoking causes bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer. In fact, many of cancer deaths are caused by smoking. But nicotine is not the only bad thing in cigarettes, there are over a lot of chemicals in one cigarette that are very harmful.

Secondly, heart disease is now the number-one killer in our country! Majority of smokers want to quit but can’t. So if you’ve never tried smoking, you’d better not to do it at all!!! Many people think they can easily give up smoking whenever they decide on. That’s hardy possible. There is also psychological dependence on smoking.

In your everyday life you often communicate with smokers and whether you want it or not, you have to breath in the smell of tobacco around us. It is known that smoking is more dangerous for so-called passive smokers because it does a lot of harm to their health although they are unwilling to do it. Do you want to harm your friends or family? I suppose, that not.

And what’s more, smoking in your teens could harm brain development and hearing. Also it’s harder for you to focus in class!

So please think thoroughly about all pros and cons and try to understand that smoking is the worst modern human habit! It’s not fashionable to smoke! It’s much more fashionable to be healthy and energetic!!!
