despite health warnings, a large number of people continue to smoke all over the world, why should we be concerned about this? what solutions would you suggest? give reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience
Smoking is an expensive habit which pollutes the environment and carries serious health risk, yet a third of the men in the world smoke. It is also a sad fact one in five teenagers take up the habi when they are as young as 11. Of course, there is one interest group, the tobacco industry, which is more than happy with this situation, since its profits depend on our addiction o cigarettes.
These statistics are particular depressing because the link between smoking and cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses has been known for many years. We must also remember that apart from harming the individual, smoking represents a huge cost to society. The money we spend on treating smoking related disease could be used for much better purposes, such as helping to feed the world's poor or paying for medical research.
So why, despite all the evidence, do people still smoke? The obvious answer is that cigarettes are highly additive, so that it can be extremely difficult to give up. Another answer is the power of peer pressure, especially amongst young people. In my view, the most important thing is to discourage people from starting to smoke, and we could do this by increasing the tax on tobacco and banning cigarette advertising. I also feel that people who want to quit should be given as much advice and support as possible.
In conclusion, I believe that we should do everything we can reduce the number of smokers in society, However, it is not enough to provide information about health risks, we also need to use a variety of strategies to tackle the problems.
