A concluding/transition sentence.
At least ONE citation in the paragraph.

19. Here is a Sample of a Body Paragraph!
The greatest risk to humans from these carcinogens is in the area of the lungs and cardiovascular system. According to a study done by Carl E. Bartecchi, Thomas D. MacKenzie, and Robert W. Schrier, it was found that an estimated 179,820 people die each year in the United States from cardiovascular disease, 98,921 deaths from ischemic heart disease, and 23,2l0 deaths from cerebrovascular diseases, all of which are a result of smoking (Bartecchi et al. 907) . Lung cancer and lung disease are also major causes of death in which a combined total of 87,475 die every year in just the United States; in addition, over 300,000 cases of respiratory infections per year are reported—all of which are a direct result of cigarette smoke (Brownlee 66). Of the estimated 10,200 deaths from cancer of the esophagus in 1993, about 80 percent can be attributed to smoking (908). Heart and lung problems are not the only parts of the body at risk due to smoking. Many organs such as the kidney and liver are affected by carcinogens in cigarettes.
