關於戒煙的英語演講稿
Smoking And Health
Today smoking is a widespread habit all over the world. Not only the old, the youth, but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking. Many of them think that smoking is a smart symbol.
However, smoking is harmful to one’s health. It contributes a lot of lung cancer, from which many people have died in the past years. It can also cause many other diseases. In a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chance of losing your health. Furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health, especially to women and children.
Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease, says the World Health Organization. Tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases, and even the WHO says that its impact on world health is not fully assessed.
Tobacco contributes to the hardening of the arteries, which can then become blocked and starve the heart of blood flow, causing the attack.
By 2020, the WHO expects the worldwide death toll to reach 10 million, causing 17.7% of all deaths in developed countries. There are believed to be 1.1 billion smokers in the world, 800 million of them in developing countries.
Therefore, many countries have made laws forbidding smokers to smoke in public places such as cinemas, stations, hospitals, and so on. Give up smoking! If you don’t smoke, don’t start. Give up smoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for the sake of the whole world.
