Smoking and Health吸煙與健康
Smoking and Health
We meet smokers everywhere. There are 6.5 billion people in the world, and about 1.2 billion of them are smokers, which make up to 20 percent of the world's total population.
Smoking is very harmful. First, smoking costs a great deal of money. It wastes 200 billion dollars each year in the world. Second,smoking does harm to the health of smokers and even the people near them. About 3 million people die of diseases caused by smoking every year.
Luckily, more and more people have come to realize the great harm of smoking. To our delight the total amount of world tobacco production has dropped from over 14 billion pounds in 2000 to 7 billion pounds in 2003. It is certain that the number of smokers will further decrease gradually.
吸煙與健康
吸煙者到處可見。世界上有65億人口，吸煙者占12億，占世界總人口的20％。
吸煙有害。首先，吸煙需要花費大量金錢。全世界每年需要浪費掉2 000億美元。其次，吸煙對吸煙者和他周圍的人有害，每年大約有300萬人死于因吸煙而引起的疾病。
幸運的是，現在越來越多的人已經認識到吸煙的危害。使我們高興的是，世界煙草的總產量已從2000年的，140億磅降到2003年的70億磅。吸煙人群也必定會逐年減少的。
