Answer 1

Smoking Is Harmful!

You can see smokers everywhere in public places, and you can find that most of them are young people, even middle school students. It's said that in China nearly half of the population are smokers.

Why do so many people smoke? Some think smoking is a kind of fashion; some think smoking is a pleasure; while others believe they can refresh themselves by smoking. In fact, smoking is a very bad habit. It does great harm to people's health and causes a lot of diseases, such as lung cancer. So smoking is a waste of money. Besides, many fires are caused by careless smokers.

I do hope people can give up smoking.
