For many years, scientists have warned that smoking tobacco is
bad for your health. Yet people around the world still smoke. The

the world die each year from the effects of smoking. That number is
increasing. WHO officials say tobacco use will have killed more than
8,000,000 people a year by 2020 if nothing is done to control the
problem.

smoke. American health experts say tobacco use is the leading cause
of death in the United States. This year, 440,000 Americans will die of
diseases linked to smoking.
Smoking tobacco is the leading cause of lung disease. Smoking
also has been linked to heart disease and many kinds of cancers. The
American Cancer Society says smoking is responsible for about 87%
of all lung cancers in the United States.
American government health experts say smoking affects not
only the smokers. Women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy
are more likely to have babies with health problems. Pregnant
women who smoke are at risk of having a baby who weighs less than
normal. Low birth weight babies have an increased risk of early
death and may suffer from a number of health disorders.
Experts say tobacco smoke also affects the health of people who
do not smoke. Smokers may harm the health of family members and
people at work when they breathe out smoke from cigarettes. This is
called “second-hand smoke”． 文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.
