Question

It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is ncreasing. Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening.

    Yet people around the world continue to smoke. In the United States, about forty-seven million adults smoke. This year, more than 430,000 Americans died of diseases which have something to do with smoking. The American Cancer Society says smoking harms the body greatly. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes is dangerous.

    It is not easy to give up smoking. However, doctors say you probably will live longer if you do stop smoking. You will feel better and look better. You also will protect the health of family members who breathe your smoke.

    The American Cancer Society says there is not one right way to stop smoking. They say any way that helps is worth trying. People can take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, they can eat a small piece of fruit or vegetable when they want to have a cigarette. The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they will reduce their chances of getting cancer and other diseases.
