It can cause people to be infected with many different kinds of diseases. Thousands of people in the world die of lung cancer each year. Most of them are smokers. When people are smoking the air is polluted. Smoking is not only had for the health of the smokers, but also for that of the people around the smokers. Therefore, more and more people have come to realize that smoking is no good and decide to give it up.Most smokers want to stop smoking. Many of them have tried more than once butfailed. Although they know smoking may kill them or cause a serious illness yet they cannot give it up. The reason is that cigarettes contains nicotine (尼古丁) that is a drug which gets one into the habit of smoking.How to get rid of smoking is still a serious problem.
