(7 Marks)
When your parents were young, people
could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere - even in hospitals!
Advertisements for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about
how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is banned in almost all public
places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio,
and in many magazines.
Almost everyone knows that smoking causes
cancer and heart disease. Smoking can shorten your life by 10 years or more. So
how come people are still smoking? The answer, in a few words, is a bad habit. Smoking
is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine. The body and mind
quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to
have it just to feel normal.
People start smoking for a variety of
different reasons. Some think it looks nice. Others start because their family
members or friends smoke. Studies about smoking show that about 9 out of 10
tobacco users start before they're 18 years old.
