Did you know that 11,000 people die every day from smoking? Did you know that people die every day from breathing smoke other people’s cigarettes?
Tobacco smoke has 43 ingredients that may cancer. If smokers had learned these
when they were young, they probably would never have started smoking.
Most smokers try first cigarette when they are teenagers. Often, they start smoking because they think that it makes them look more . Sometimes they start smoking because their friends tell them that it’s cool. If teenagers are told that half of them will die before the age of 65 from smoking cigarettes, how can they still think it’s cool to smoke?
One of the biggest problems is cigarette advertisements. Tobacco companies tell the truth to teenagers about cigarettes. After watching the advertisements on TV or looking at the posters in which people ride horses or play in a rock band, young people often think that smoking be cool.
Sadly, cigarettes are very difficult to once a person has started smoking. Most teenagers start smoking they are influenced by friends or cigarettes advertisements. And often, the teenagers regret the decision to start smoking later in life.
Teenagers need to know bad cigarettes are for their health. If they are told that cigarettes kill more people than guns do, they probably will never start smoking.

At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss(失聪).
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for to tell the difference between the sounds of“s”and“f”，and“t”and“z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen.
However, cell phone users don’t care too much this study. One man said,“I’d be more worried about people who MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very music. I think that is more likely(更有可能的) to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”
