When your parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere — even in hospitals! Ads for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or 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, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction.
Once You Start, It's Hard to Stop
Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, 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 cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all.
Questions:
1.Have you ever tried smoking? If your answer is “yes”, why did you try it? If your answer is “no”, share your view point about smokers.
2.According to this article, smoking can lead to several illnesses to people. Even though, there are still lots of people smoke every day. Why do people still smoke?
3.Have you ever thought about that smokers are good or bad person?
4.Cigarette's price is going up after June 1st, do you think it does help people to quit this habit?
5.If you are a powerful person what will you do to stop people from this bad habit?
6.Do you know “Marlboro Man”? try to search his story on the internet and then we talk about it, if we have enough time. (extra question: it depands on whether you wanna talk about it)
