Smoking

If I were to have the chance of gaining money for killing 400,000 people every year, I would turn it down. The author agrees with me when he says "You may not honorably work to increase this gruesome tally." I don't think cigarettes should even be sold, I would never aid their profits. This article gave the statistic that 400,000 people die each year in America due to smoking.

Texting

The author of this document doesn't agree that people should text and drive. I do know someone who texts and drives, I try to tell them to stop but they don't listen to me. I plan on telling them about this article I read and how it said that "phone distractions cause at least 2,600 traffic deaths a year" and that texting, in some states, while driving is considered to be as bad as drinking and driving.
