One of the reasons why young people smoke is that they think it is cool. In real life some stars like Jackie Chan（成龙）think smoking is bad. Chan doesn’t think it is cool at all! And sports stars like Yao Ming don’t smoke cigarettes, but they are very cool. Sometimes people start smoking because their friends ask them to do so, or they see other people like their parents doing it and think that it’s OK. Some people think that smoking can stop stress（压力）. But there are better ways to beat stress.

●     Exercise is one way. Exercise relaxes your muscles（肌肉）and help you stop smoking if you have already started.

●     Go for a long walk without cigarettes, and breathe in the air around you. Maybe take some lunch and breathe in a park, and think about how much better you feel without a cigarette in your mouth.

●     Also think about the money you will save by not smoking. You can spend it on much more fun things like music, clothes or nice food.

●     To stay away from smoking, keep a list with you saying why smoking is bad.

●     Tell your friends and ask them to help you. If they’re your good friends, they will help you.

Millions of people have already given up smoking---it is not difficult if you try hard!
