【篇一】關(guān)于吸煙的初一英語(yǔ)作文
Though smoking has been banned in public places in many cities, many people are still addicted to smoking, especially young people. Some smokers seem to have “quite convincing” reasons for their continuing to smoke. They claim if smoking is forbidden in public places, it will infringe upon their personal freedom and human rights.
盡管很多城市的公共場(chǎng)所禁止吸煙，但是很多人仍然沉溺于吸煙，特別是年輕人。有些吸煙者似乎為他們繼續(xù)吸煙找到“極具說(shuō)服力的”理由。他們聲稱(chēng)：如果公共場(chǎng)合禁止吸煙將會(huì)侵犯他們的人身自由和權(quán)力。
But these smokers should know that they are not entitled to the freedom to smoke, which infringes upon non-smokers’ freedom to breathe clean and fresh air in public places. Unfortunately, these smokers make non-smokers victims of their bad habit. Some smokers ignore health problems and stress that the smoking ban will endanger the local economies. In their words, tobacco industry means money and millions of jobs. Indeed, tobacco industry, on the one hand, collects a large amount of revenue every year and helps develop local economies; on the other hand, they make people victims of lung cancer and other fatal diseases. Have they ever thought of the direct medical costs on treating smoking-related diseases?
但是這些吸煙的人應(yīng)該知道他們不享有侵犯不吸煙的人在公共場(chǎng)所呼吸干凈新鮮的空氣的'權(quán)力。不幸的是，這些吸煙者使不吸煙者成為他們壞習(xí)慣的受害者。一些吸煙的人忽視健康問(wèn)題并且強(qiáng)調(diào)禁煙將會(huì)使當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)陷入危險(xiǎn)。換句話(huà)說(shuō)，煙草業(yè)意味著錢(qián)和成千上萬(wàn)的工作崗位。事實(shí)上，煙草業(yè)一方面每年積累了大量的收入幫助了當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展；另一方面，它們使人們稱(chēng)為了肺癌以及其他致命疾病的受害者。他們有沒(méi)有想過(guò)花在吸煙相關(guān)疾病治療上的直接醫(yī)療費(fèi)用？
It is reported that the US Government has adopted even more severe measures to control the development of its tobacco industry. Having a hard time at home, some US tobacco companies are sparing no effort in finding their way into China, which has the world’s largest number of smokers. In modernChina, opium brought by British imperialists brought great suffering to Chinese people, who were then called “sick men ofEast Asia”. Have we forgotten this bitter experience? Is tobacco revenue so dear or smokers’ freedom so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of the health and life of our people?
據(jù)報(bào)道，美國(guó)政府已經(jīng)采取了更為嚴(yán)重的措施來(lái)控制煙草業(yè)的發(fā)展。由于在國(guó)內(nèi)發(fā)展困難，一些美國(guó)的煙草公司不遺余力的尋找通往中國(guó)的道路，因?yàn)橹袊?guó)是世界上吸煙人口的國(guó)家。在近代中國(guó)，英帝國(guó)主義者所帶來(lái)的給中國(guó)人民帶來(lái)了巨大的痛苦，中國(guó)人民被稱(chēng)為“東亞病夫”。我們已經(jīng)忘記了這痛苦的經(jīng)歷了嗎？香煙的收入如此高昂又或是吸煙者的自由如此美好以至于要用人們的健康和生命的代價(jià)來(lái)購(gòu)買(mǎi)嗎？
【篇二】關(guān)于吸煙的初一英語(yǔ)作文
If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. No one will accuse you of hypocrisy. Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking. This needn't make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil.
You don't have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so lukewarm. The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread.
This is surely the most short-sighted policy you could imagine. While money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether.
For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct antismoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of the dire consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning--say, a picture of a death's head--should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold. As individuals we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.

As we all know, there are many people smoking, although everyone knows smoking is harmful to us. Giving up smoking is not easy but addicted to it is quite easy, that’s why there are more and more people smoking.
Smoking and passive smoking is risk factor that leads to various diseases. It has become world’s top 8 causes of death.
More than 90% of lung cancer caused by smoking and lung cancer rates of smokers are 18 times over the non-smokers. Besides, smoking also causes angiocardiopathy, digestive system disease, oral disease and so on. In addition, passive smoking causes great concern in recent years.
People have known that passive smoking also do great harm to human, too.
Therefore, many countries and regions prohibit people from smoking in public zones, in order to reduce the harm of secondhand smoke. From my point of view, the best way to keep healthy is giving up smoke, for smoker’s own good as well as for others.
