Smoking and Health
4 月 7 日是世界禁煙日，為配合世界禁煙日活動(dòng)，請根據(jù)下列提示，用英文寫一篇 120 詞左右的短文，以便刊登在“ CHINA DAILY ”上。
據(jù)報(bào)道，世界上有四分之一的人吸煙，而中國 15 歲以上的人，有 33.9% 的吸煙。不僅老人、青年抽，中學(xué)生也抽。
許多酗煙者明知吸煙有害于健康，但他們一次又一次的戒煙，就是戒不掉。
科學(xué)研究表明，吸煙不僅對吸煙者有害，而且對公眾健康特別是對婦女、兒童健康危害更大。煙中的毒氣是多種疾病的致病原因。現(xiàn)在許多國家禁止在影院、醫(yī)院、車站等公共場所吸煙。
Smoking and Health
Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit all over the world. It was reported recently that smokers make up one quarter of the world population， while in China， 33.9 precent above the age of 15 are smokers. It's a very serious problem because not only the old， the youth， but also middle school students and girls have been engaged in smoking.
Many heavy smokers say they cannot leave off， although they know smoking is harmful to their health and they have tried again and again to stop.
Scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves， but also a threat to public health， especially to women and children. The poisonous gas from smoking is one of the major causes of many kinds of diseases. Therefore， many countries have worked out laws forbidding smokers to smoke in public places such as cinemas， hospitals and stations.
