Assignment 6 elle varner

I have always been really fascinated by science in general- but in particular, I really enjoy learning about different illnesses, their symptoms, and their short and long term effects. Whenever I get sick I like to learn about whatever I have.
What I want to talk about/ rant about that's related to this topic, is the fact that people are completely aware of The harm that they do to their own bodies  and they continue to do so. A cliche example is smoking. I know that in the past, people didn't realize the harm that smoking did to their health.  But especially now, now that people are aware of the detriments smoking has on your health, people continue to do it to "look cool". Smoking cigarettes are incredibly harmful to your lungs, teeth, skin, etc., and people continue to smoke.  Stupid.
