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.
吸烟与健康
吸烟者到处可见。世界上有65亿人口，吸烟者占12亿，占世界总人口的20％。
吸烟有害。首先，吸烟需要花费大量金钱。全世界每年需要浪费掉2 000亿美元。其次，吸烟对吸烟者和他周围的人有害，每年大约有300万人死于因吸烟而引起的疾病。
幸运的是，现在越来越多的人已经认识到吸烟的危害。使我们高兴的是，世界烟草的总产量已从2000年的，140亿磅降到2003年的70亿磅。吸烟人群也必定会逐年减少的。
