SBA

The reason why I selected this topic is because this problem is one of the
most prominent problems in society. Smoking in my community causes
a variety of problems. I've found this topic to be very interesting because
teens in my community are taking up this bad habit of smoking which is
inaccurate and should not be practiced.
