答案

参考答案:

As is shown above, there are two pictures presenting two quite different situations. One depicts a girl who becomes addicted to smoking, while the other describes a big hand squeezing a package of cigarettes. The first picture implies that now a lot of youngsters are indulging themselves in smoking. The second one signifies that smoking should be quit completely.

Smoking is harmful for many. Health concerns top the list of reasons why people quit smoking. In the first place, about half of all smokers who continue to smoke end up dying from a smoking-related illness. Secondly, nearly everyone knows that smoking causes lung cancer, but few realize it is a risk factor for many other diseases. Thirdly, puffing also causes wrinkling of skin and increases the risk of blindness in the elderly. Finally, those exposed to second-hand smoke, which account for more than half of non-smokers in China, also suffer from similar side effects.

China, the world’s largest tobacco producer and consumer, should take steps to reduce smoking in the country. Our government vowed to host a "non-smoking" Olympic Games in B00H. Furthermore, smoking are now banned at almost all hospitals across the country. The ban will extend to the sport venues, public places, public transport and offices.
