smoking
When your
parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere
- even in hospitals! Ads for cigarettes were all over
the place. Today we're
more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or
banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed
to advertise on buses or trains, billboards, TV, and in many magazines.
Almost
everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that
it can shorten your life by 14 years or more; and that the
habit can cost a
smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting
up!
