Getting rid of the smoking habit is not easy. Many inveterate smokers are never able to quit completely. Those who try to quit often experience depression, severe headaches, and sometimes get a lot of weight as they turn to food as a substitute.
In order to protect non-smokers from being affected, measures must be taken to reduce the chances of smoking. Children must be warned about the dangers of smoking. Cigarette companies should not be allowed to advertise on TV or radio, or in newspapers and magazines. Remove cigarette vending machines. Raise cigarette prices by adding higher tobacco taxes and use the money for antismoking campaigns.
吸 煙
吸煙對健康有害。醫學已經證明吸煙能引起肺癌和其它疾病, 如肺氣腫。吸煙越多, 得心臟病的機會也會增加。無疑吸煙對健康有害。
改變吸煙的習慣並不容易。許多煙癮大的人沒有能力徹底戒煙。想戒煙的人常常感到意氣消沈，頭疼的厲害，有時還會增加體重，因為他們把食物作為代用品。
為了保護非吸煙者不受其害，應當采取措施減少吸煙的機會。應當告誡兒童不要吸煙。不允許煙草公司在電視上、電臺上、報紙和雜誌上刊登香煙廣告。清除那些自動售煙機。增加煙草稅收以提高香煙價格，並且把這些錢投入戒煙運動中。
