BAD HABITS

4.1 Прочитайте текст и скажите, какие аргументы против курения вы находите наиболее убедительными. Расположите аргументы по степени их важности.

You'd have to be living on Mars not to know that smoking is dangerous. Yet statistics show that young people today smoke more, not less. Why?

One answer is that many teens think it cool. Another is the enormous sums of money invested in advertising cigarettes. Tobacco companies spend millions to encourage the young to start, or to continue, smoking. "The Marlboro Man", "Joe the Camel" and others do cool things and act important while smoking — just to get you to think that if you smoke this brand, you can do these things too. This isn't true. These people are not real and the things they do are made-up.

For tobacco companies cigarettes mean money. For us they mean disease and even death. Smoking kills about 3 million people every year. Some aren't even smokers. They are people who live or work with heavy smokers.

If you think it cool, think again! Here are some sad, sad, sad facts about smoking.

Your clothes and hair will have a terrible smell. Your teeth will turn yellow.

You will have bad breath.

Your hair and skin will become dry. You'll get premature wrinkles. Smokers store more fat around the waist.

A smoker is 22 times more likely to die of lung cancer than a nonsmoker. In fact, 30% of all cancer deaths are caused by smoking. Smoking causes-heart attacks. By the way, heart disease is now the number-one killer in Russia.

Babies with mothers who smoke develop more slowly during childhood.

Cigarette smoke clogs and makes lungs awfully dirty.

Nicotine is as addictive as heroin or cocaine. Seven out of 10 smokers want to quit, but can't.

Nicotine is not the only bad thing in cigarette, there are over 400 chemicals that are known to be harmful.

Pregnant women (especially teenagers) who smoke will face a lot of pregnancy risks. They even may give birth to stillborn babies.

Babies of women smokers are more likely to have mental disorders than babies of women non-smokers.

Girls, cigarette packs leave no room in your purse for your compact and lipstick.

You'll become richer. Cigarettes cost money.

So think twice before lighting up that cigarette of yours!

SHOULD SMOKING BE BANNED IN PUBLIC PLACES?

Smokers in America sometimes feel as though war has been declared on them. There is no more smoking in offices, restaurants, airplanes or most other public places.

But there are different points of view on the problem.

Smoking is awful and I personally can't stick the smell. As for me, I wouldn't just ban smoking in public but I would ban it everywhere in every country.

Lizzie (USA)

I have friends who smoke. Sure, I don't want them to, but they do anyway. I don't think that banning it in public will work at all. People will do what they want when they want!

Sergei (Russia)

I think people should stop smoking because it gets young people into smoking and it's not good for the environment.

Sharon (UK)

I think that smoking should be banned in public because you are more likely to die of passive smoking than actual smoking!

Linda (Sweden)

As an asthmatic I strongly believe that smoking should be banned in public places. If smokers knew how asthmatics felt when they breathe in smoke many people would stop.

Olga (Russia)

What's all this fuss about? Perfumes also have bad effects on asthmatics. Should we ban the use of perfumes and air fresheners?

Anna (France)

Smoking is not a crime. There are lots of things around us which do more harm to our health than cigarette smoke. Just look at all these cars with their smog and noise. Smoking is just one of those harmful things that make the life comfortable and pleasant.

Sofia (Poland)

SHAMEFUL DRINKING TALES

Blackout

I woke up because something was digging in my face. As soon as I opened my eyes my head started hurting, everything was really bright. When my eyes got used to the daylight I found that I had been lying face down in a car park. I have no idea for how long or how the hell I got there. I remember going to a party with friends the night before but I really cannot remember anything else at all. I picked myself up and wiped off bits of gravel that had stuck to my face. I had to wander round in the freezing cold for a while to get my bearings. I was in a car park on the other side of town. I wanted to get a taxi back home but I couldn't find my wallet or keys anywhere. I eventually made it home by walking and phoned my friends who told me that they had said goodbye to me at 11 the night before and that I was pretty well plastered. What happened to me between then and waking up in the car park is a mystery.

Jim, aged 18.

I’ll never touch it again

I know this might sound dumb but I'll never touch alcohol again. The party was over and on the way home I was showing off to

some of the girls with us by walking along a wall. I don't think they were very impressed so I decided to knock their socks off by doing a handstand on the wall. I think they were even less impressed when I slipped off the

wall breaking may arm in two places. The booze that had made me act like a prat did nothing to hide the pain, or worse the shame.

Ben, aged 17.
