以下是有关吸烟问题的观点:

A. Smoking is sure to cause diseases. Just have a look at those people with diseases in hospital and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.
B.We have to admit that the tobacco industry contributes a lot to many countries' economies. It also creates job opportunities. But it's harmful to people in the long run. It's a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.
C.Non-smokers absorb nicotine and other harmful chemicals just as smokers do. This is an especially bad situation for children — some of them absolutely have no choice but to be passive smokers and to have lungs that are not as healthy as a normal child's.
D. Despite all the strict laws against smoking, the statistics have shown that more young people are lighting up. While it was absolutely a taboo (禁忌) for a woman to smoke before, now it's quite common to see young girls smoking. Many even walk around with a lighted cigarette in one hand.
E. However, smokers may feel a certain amount of pressure. On the one hand, they might feel guilty about the amount of money they spend on cigarettes each month, which could have been put to much better use, but on the other hand, they may also feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of them.
F.    Smoking can provide constant consolation. When people feel worried or nervous, they just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right After a day's hard work, what they want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than drinking a cup of coffee.
以下是个人对吸烟的认识,请匹配个人的认识与相应的观点。
56.Christopher: As a matter of fact, smokers are under a great deal of pressure, not only because they spend so much money on cigarettes but also because they don' t think people around them are tolerant enough of them.
57.Amanda: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支气管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, you are certainly deceiving your­self.
58.Harrison: Smoking brings some psychological benefits. Most smokers feel it's enjoyable and that it can relieve daily stress. So why must we ban it and take away a lot of people' s pleasure?
59.Brandon: Forbidden fruits always taste sweetest. That is to say, the stricter the laws against smoking are, the more people want to smoke. What worries me is that more young people are beginning to smoke.
60.Douglas: If there were some ways to stop a smoker from affecting others, I wouldn't object to smoking! Secondhand smoke does great harm to non-smokers, especially to children, who are much more sensitive than adults.
