According to The Centers for Disease and Control Prevention or The CDC, each year there is an estimated amount of 438,000 Americans who die as a result of smoking or even just second-hand smoke. In addition, for each American who dies, there are 20 Americans living with an illness that has been caused by smoking or the exposure to second-hand smoke. There is an exceeding cost of $ 167 billion dollars a year that is paid for smoking-related medical expenses. This amount shows just how many health and medical issues smokers have to deal with from the time they start smoking until death.
There are tremendous amounts of health issues smokers have to deal with, such as cancer, heart disease and stroke, and respiratory health. It is astounding the amounts of different types of cancer that can be caused by these "cancer sticks". According to the CDC, the types of cancer that are caused are cancer of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, larynx or voice box, lungs, uterine cervix, urinary bladder, and kidneys.
The leading cause of death in the United States is coronary heart disease and smokers are up to 4 times more likely to develop this disease than non-smokers are. Cigarette smoke also doubles a person's chance of having a stroke. Not only does this happen to smokers, but it is just as bad to those who breathe in second-hand smoke. Also according to the CDC, second-hand smoke causes heart disease and lung cancer. It actually increases the risk of heart disease by 25 to 30 percent and increases the risk of lung cancer by 20 to 30 percent. These statistics are only for those who have been exposed to second-hand smoke.
Just think about this for a minute, think about children in a car with parents who smoke. Those children are going to be at a very high risk for lung cancer and heart disease. They are, for the most part, always sick with a cold. My older sister, sarah, smokes and she has two children, searah and katriese. Whenever I see those girls, they always have stuffy noses and are constantly coughing up a storm. If I were sarah, I would feel horrible putting my children in that situation. I would also try to think about how the cigarettes are affecting my life and how it is shortening by every puff taken.
its an opinion editorial so im supposed to have some personal stuff...

How the habit of smoking occurs?

Michael Moore's 'the awful truth' has some good stuff about smoking you can use for your paper. It's not bad, but in an essay you don't usually put in your own experience, or rhetorical questions. Rephrase that as an hypothetical and as statements.
"Just think about this for a minute, think about children in a car with parents who smoke." can be something like. "Society fails to think about these facts" (obviously yours will sound better =P)
Good luck and have a nice day ^_^
