Everyone knows that smoking is harmful for health. A lot of rules have been laid down to prohibit smoking. We can see the no-smoking sign in a lot of public places. In addition, we can see ‘smoking is harmful for your health’ on most packets of cigarettes. Some people even claim that we should stop producing cigarettes. But it will affect national economy. How can we prevent people from smoking? I think the answer to the problem is to make people realize the harm that cigarettes can do us. Only depending on our all efforts can we realize the true No smoking.
人人都知道吸烟有害健康。出台了很多规则来禁烟。我们在很多公共场所都可以看到禁烟标识。另外，我们在很多香烟的包装上都可以看到“吸烟有害健康”的字样。一些人甚至主张我们应该停止生产香烟。但是这会影响国家的经济。我们要怎样阻止人们吸烟呢？我认为，问题的答案在于让大家意识到香烟对我们的危害。只有依靠我们所有人的努力才能实现真正的禁烟。
