Before I read this article,I didn't know there are so many smokers in China.I just know my dad is a terrrible smoker.
In my point of view,children must be forbidden to smoke first,and adult should smoke less ,for not noly giving an example to their children,but not making their children smoke indirectly, which means their children or their relatives may be compelled to be a second hand smoker.
How dreadful it is!
If I were working as some leader of our country,I would increase the price of the cigarette and limit the sell of it.I would also add some necessary classes to educate children,telling them how bad the cigarette will bring us.I would regulate some specific places not to allow smoking,and maybe try to invent some gums that can help smokers to give up smoking like magzine says.
I think it's a very hard road to change the situation in China,but from time goes on,if everyone can form a strong consciousness of keeping away from cigarettes,our country will be more fresh and healthy,and I believe it's not far away.

I know that there are many people smoking in China but I don't know the situation is such serious.
I think the first thing people should do is that adults should smoking less and not smoking at home.Then we should circle a place to let smokers smoke in public,not anywhere.
If a child start smoking at a early age,he will have a big chance to get lung cancer and many other diseases.So we should make great efforts on preventing that.
I really don't like people smoking in public,for the smoke is so bad and there will be bad effect on my health rather than the smoker himself.The smoker should consider other people's feeling.

Before I read this passage ,I have already know second hand smoke ,but I did not know there are so many children were smoking .I feel this is a so terrible.
How to limit the effects of children? Mybe this is a big problem. First,from an early age should let children know the consequences of smoking.Secong,parents should also set an example for thier children by not smoking.Third, I think some children want to seem like a dult so they make smoking.parents should be concerned about this psychological.
As for second hand smoke ,may be I am also the sufferer.My father is a smoker,he hao smoked for 25 years...Inhating someone's tobacco can laed to an immediate chain of biological things which lead to a disease in a non-smoker ,or even death.Only limit second hand smoke ,can make you have a non-smoke enviroment.

After hearing this article, I'm really shocked at the problem of smoking in China.I haven't realised that the problem was so serious.I think it's rather bad for children to smoke,because it do harm to children's health.
In order to deal with this problem,first of all,I think parents should set a good example to children.They should smoke less in front of children and enducate their children not to smoke,and tell them the bad influence if they smoke.Besides,I think the most effect measure is to raise price of the cigarette so that children will have less money to buy the products.Apart from that limting the smoking place is also a good way to reduce smoke.
Though second hand smoke is not a direct smoker,but it can be also effected.When people want to smoke,I think they should pay attention to others and not to harm others.What's more people have the right of not to be harmed

To be frank,I know there are many children smoking in China, because my younger brother who is just a high school student also smokes,which makes me angry.
In my opinion,parents, society, and children themselves all should be responsible for this situation.So I think,first of all,parents should pay more attention to their children and care about them,which makes the children feel they are loved.And let the children know the harm of smoking. Secondly, the government should take actions,such as ,raise the price of the cigarette and forbid the shops to sell them to children,but if they don't want to abide this, please fine them severely.Furthermore,children should control themselves and don't imitate the smokers in the TV programmes.
I do think secondhand smoke is harmful because I'm the victim of that.And it is more harmful for the victim than the smoker himself.It causes caugh as well as lung cancer.So it's really terrible.

Lois said...

I think smoking is a bad habit for people,especially for our health.But there are still many people smoke every day.
I have found many Middle School and High School students are addicted in smoking,and they usually don't study hard. What they like maybe just playing.I think it's very important for our country to help them.Though teachers often tell their students not just play ,not smoke,but they didn't do it in a right way.
In my oppinion,I think students need a very important education in their early days.If they really realized what they should do,It'll be better.Maybe the right things can spent most of their energy,they will not have more dad habits,like smoking.I am looking forward to more people will give up smoking,especially the children.

I was not so clear about the serious condition about the children smoking in China. Hearing what you were reading, I thought it was terriable!
In terms of the measures to limit effects of smoking on children, I think there are several things we should do.First, parents should do a good example for their childre.They should not smoke,at least at the time spended with their children. Usually,they should educated thier children the consequences .Secondly,the media such as newspapers, magzines,televisions should often inform the bad effecs of smoking to the children .Thirdly, the government can make a law about limiting children smoking ,and anonther to stop the score selling smoks to children .Finally, the social atmosphere is also very important!
Indeed, second hand smoke is harmful to our health. In the short term, it contains cancer-causing chemicals, which can lead to immediate irritation of nose,eyes,throat and so on. In the long term, consequences are more serious because it contributes to the development of lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke.Everyone at times is a second hand smoker.The fact is that second hand smoke can produce six times the pollution of a busy motorway in a crowded town.Therefore,next time,when you are besides a person who is smoking , keep away from him! It may be a risk of your health!

mickey said...

I was shocked by the report.I didn't realise there were so many people smoking in China,especially the teenagers!I think let the teenagers keep away from the cigarette needs families,schools and society work hand in hand to give the teenagers more care and education.
First,I think our government should make many polocies to prohibit the sale of cigrattes to teenagers.Raising the price of cigrattes is also a good way.We also can decrease the advertisments of cigrattes on TV
Second,the adults should smoke less to give an example to their children.It is not only benificial to themselves but also to the children.
Third,I think the society can hold some activities to guide and set up right interests of teenagers.
Second hand smoke is bad for our health.Smokers should smoke as less as possible in public places.We should eat more vegetables and fruits.Drinking water is also an efficient way to let the hazardous substances go out of our bodies.

Carolyn said...

The artical which I heard in the classroom really striked me that there are so many people in China smoking,especially children.That's awful.So if it is found that children of smoking and should be prevented in time and immediately.
Firstly,we can ask him to talk about openly, induced by its understanding of the main reasons for smoking, make it clear that the dangers of smoking.We should find a specific trigger to stop at the source, so that children are no longer smoking.Secondly,parents of children that smoking is prohibited to prevent children infected with the best way to the bad habit of smoking.The attitude of parents is critical.Because the family's influence on students is much larger than convincing school students.Besides,schools and society must do a good knowledge of tobacco control advocacy.
For second hand smoke,I think it on the dangers of passive smoking are not active than light smokers, especially for particularly serious crimes against children. Therefore,we must do our best to reduce second hand smoke to injury our body.

As we all know,smoking does great harm to human beings.More and more people have come to realize how serious this problem is.Smoking is a bad habit,it can cause many diseases.A lot of people cough because of smoking,the most serious illness caused by smoking is lung cancer.
As to children,I think it is very important to educate themslves and strengthen their will power,every individual should resist the temptation of cigarette smoking,besides,I think our government shoud raise people's awareness of health,which can make them realize the harm that smoking brings to them.And government should limit the purchase of cigarette in some extent.
Smoking is harmful and it is not only bad for smokers themselves, but also bad for non-smokers,Therefore, I hope all the smokers can give up smoking for themselves and also for the people around them

Jane said...

The article learned in class leaves deep impression on me.I came to know how serious the smoking situation is in China.And smoking does much harm to people's health and influences people's normal life.Nowadays,some teenagers or even some small children get into the bad habits of smoking.The harmful substances in cigarettes undermine their health.I think smoking habits also more or less have some negative effects on their mental health.Maybe it's time for the whole society to do something for the smoking children.
I think there are several measures can be taken to limit the effects of smoking on children.1.Parents who are smokers should't smoke when the children are present. 2.The government should make some public advertisements to state the harmness of smoking. 3.Taking drastic measures to prevent shops from selling cigarettes to children. 4.Raising the price of cigarettes. 5.No smoking in public places. 6.To tell the children about the harmness of smoking through education.
I think it's unfair for some people to be the second hand smokers.If the amount of direct smokers can't be reduced,then more and more people will be the second hand smokers.The second hand smokers are the innocent victim of smoking.

Jill said...

I know a lot of people in China smoke, but I do not even know that there are so many kids are smoking, just like you said, this is horrible! How old a child will smoke, and smoking of the Department of Name Xiong, sophisticated, it seems that parents in this area not too far, they have not set a good example to the children already have an adverse effect. There are community and the state, we should joint hands to work together to resist smoking by our young people harm. With regard to second-hand smoke, it would be even more brutal, than the smokers themselves onlookers by the harm is much greater, so for the sake of our health, for the sake of our loved ones and friends, health, happiness and well-being of smokers who Please quit smoking now, you will find that nicotine is no better place in the world!

May said...

This article mainly talks about the effects of smoking both on smokers themselves and others.After reading this article I learned that people should smoke as little as possible.Smokers should also pay attention to other's health because secong hand smoke is really terrible.
Fathers should not smoke in the situation where children are present.They should set a good example for their children.Second hand smoke is more harmful to people's health than normal smoke.People should not smoke when they face somebody or talk to them.

Emily said...

I was shocked by the news that more and more young adults are becoming smokers. It's really a bad thing.
I think its time to take action immediately. First of all, I think government can play an important role in solving the problem. Government can raise the price of cigarettes. Also, government can make a low to punish those who sell cigarettes to children. Through this way, it can provide a good social environment for children. Secondly, school and parents are also very important, they can educate children by giving Warning Danger of Smoking. When they found children smoking, they should help children give up smoking patiently. What's more, children should be responsible for themselves, too. If someone give or sell cigarettes to them, they should resist the lure and refuse it. With the help of government, school, parents and children themselves, I think the number of smoke children will be reduced.
For second-hand smoke, I also suffered from it. Once, when I was taking a bus, I suddenly smelled a smoke, I looked around and a man was smoking besides me. However, "No Smoking" sign could be seen in the bus. I covered my nose with one hand and fanned the smoke away. But it seems that he didn't notice my behavior. So I remind him, no smoking is allowed here. It's my right. Besides, it's not only good for me, but also for the other people in the bus. For second-hand smoke can be worse than actually smoking.

周颖 said...

After listening to this article, I have a deeply thought. As we know, smoking is harmful for our health .More smoking can cause a series of disease about the lung. But I can't understand why there are so many people still smoke, especially children. They think smoking is very cool, but they are in the period of growing up. Smoking will influent their normal growth, lead to unhealthy body, and will cost much money which put strong stress on them and perhaps give rise to the problem of mentality. So we must take effective measures to prevent this bad behavior to help children healthily grow up.
We can explain the bad effect about smoking to them, and increase the price of cigarette that they have no much money to buy it. The government can control the sales of cigarette in market, and so on..
At the same time, we should prevent the harm of second hand smoke. Second hand smoke means that when one person is smoking, you breathe in the smoke fog. This harm is not weaker than directly smoke's. So we must keep some distance with them when they are smoking. In public, we also have responsibility to remind smokers not to smoke.
For our health, please give up smoking, and say no to cigarette.

After hearing your news , I was shocked deeply. Today, there are so many children smoking in China. It’s a big social problem. And as we all know, smoking is very harmful to our health, especially to children. And in my eyes, smoke is a killer invisible. It has a so bad effect on children’s growing. So we should do something useful to limit the bad effects of the smoking on children. Firstly, the parents should set a good example to their children and smoke as less as possible. Secondly, the government should make some rules to reduce the number of young smokers, such as avoid vendors selling cigarettes to children. Besides, the education sector should be more emphasis on the children’s education of not smoking.
About the second hand cigarettes, I think It’s a greater danger. I don’t like people smoking in public, because there will be more people being hurt by smoking the second hand cigarettes. In some public place, smokers should smoke in the special rooms, so that others will not be hurt by smoking the second hand cigarettes. My old brother is a smoker, too. He usually smokes in our home. Maybe, my parents and I are the biggest victims.
I hope children in China can be aware of the bad of smoking and correct the bad habit.

I never thought the problem of smoking is so serious until I read this article.It struke to me deeply.I know a lot of people in my country are terrible smokers.You can see many people smoking in public.It is terrible for all of us.
In my opinion,smoking is the most hateful thing.It is not only bad for the smoker himself but aslo for the others around him,which situation we know as second hand smoke.Since my father is not a smoker,I can not tolerate smoking.We should take action to stop being effected by smoking right now.
First of all,we should raise people's awearness of disadvantages of smoking.We can do such things as holding leatures to educate childern to keep away from smoking,telling parents do not smoke in front of children,and the like.In addition,we should forbiden pople to smoke in public areas.Furthermore,we can ask our government to raise the price of the cigarattes.
Mybe it is not enough ,but I think only do these things can we have fresh atmosphere without smoking!

Tony said...

It has been twenty-eight years since my dad began to smoke.Therefore,I know the terrible effect.To my surprise,there are so many children smoking in China.I think it's an urgent social problem.We must spare no effort to solve it effectively.
But what can we do? Personally,the government can increase the price of the cigarette.Secondly,law should be made that no smoking in public,such as the bus,the restaurant and so on.Thirdly,we can promote children's awareness that tabacco do harm to their bodies.For example,broadcast ,advertisements and forum are good ways to save them.Finally,an essential aspect,I think,is that the parents should set a good example for their children.They must be willng to do anything to bring up their children healthily.The things I mentioned above may be useful,and all the people should work together in order to our bright future.come on!
Second hand smoke may be more harmful.As I know,it contains more poisonous elements,which can cause lung cancer and some other diseases.What's worse,the harm to the others is more serious than to the smokers themselves.
In a word,take ations!

From this article,I know that smoking is getting its way into people's everyday life and deeply affected people's normal life。Smoking, the main killer,become a way of death,not life.Since we cannot lead a good life because of smoking,it's urgent for us to avoid smoking or prevent smoker from smoking.As long as we decided to do it,i believe,it's never late to take action and we also can have a good result.Knowing so many people are smoking in our country,i apeal to people to notice the bad influence of smoking and appreciate our own life.
The way to reduce the effects on children:
<1>The parents should set a good example for the young and try their best to be away from smoke.
<2>The school,including family should educate children when they are young and make them know that smoking doesn't mean cool,on the contray,it can influence our normal life.
<3>Reduce the effect of film and advertisement on children,because the young can be easily affected by the smoking action on the TV.
4>Even if the young are addicted to smoking,the adult should help them quit smoking ,offering help from mentality and finance.
<5>Make sure that the young aren't avialable to smoke and don't give them any chance to smoke.
In my opinion,to be the second smoker is the most innocent.Although they have formed a good habit that they don't smoke,yet they are affected by it.So it's time for the smokers to have a deep thought.The should realize that they not only affected their own life,but also influece these innocent people. Before they smoke in public,i think,they should think about others besides themseleves. If they have such thought,the world will be more cleaner and beautiful.

snow said...

I almost can not believe it.Is it true?There are so many smokers in china and the situation is so serious.I am very famililar with the feeling of second hand smokers,because my grandfather and my father have a long time experience of smoking .Since it can make a significant influence on us;it is really the time that we did something.As we all konw,we should protect the children.So, we should let the adults know the harm of smoking and educate their children.Next,we should raise the price of the cigarettes and prevent the shops from selling the cigarettes to the children.Lastly,we should produce some laws to decrease the smokers.Besides ,reduce the produvtion of the cigarettes is also an important major.Maybe it is hard to change the situation completely,but we just do our best.

Tina said...

I really didn’t know it was so serious about the smoking in China before this article. Smoking is very bad to one’s health, and at the same time it also influences other’ health, especially smoking in public places. Maybe children and teenagers think smoking is looking very cool, and they want to appeal other people to see them.
This is a big problem to Chinese people, and not only the social but also government should take strong measures to stop it. We put sign words in public and educate students do not smoking in public. The government of The Peoples Republic should ban some law to rule some principles about smoking. For example, if someone smoking in public,he or she may be punished by the police. The parent of children should take more attention about their children.

Seven said...

The picture hit my heart completely and totally mad me sad and worried. To be honest ,even I wouldn't like to see it again.Such a little boy smokes like a man.How harmful it is for his young body,especially for his lung.Maybe the child in his ages don't know clearly what a cigarette really is.Why can he smoke it skillfully?How can he get the cigarette?I think,it is due to his families,teachers(or he hasn't attended school ),and circumstances around him.We should do lots of things to limit it.Firstly,adults strive for no smoking.At least,they should avoid smoking in front of children and strictly request them to keep far away from smoke.Secondly,teachers in school need educate students so frequently that students all have a commen sense of not smoking.Furthermore,public media shouldn't advertise any cigarette but make people know the harm of it.Second hand smoke is unfair to people who hate smoke.We need a rule that anybody mustn't smoke in the public in view of others' health.They can chew gum if they want to smoke.And some special rooms can be built for them.

The information I got from the article you read in the class was really more than I could imagine. I know there are a great number of smokers in China, but I didn't know so many teenagers smoked. Besides, a lot of people who never smokes are now dying from second hand smoke, and many children are affected.
I think breathing“second-hand smoke”maybe even more harmful than smoking. There is no risk-free level of second hand smoke exposure. Only smoke-free environments effectively protect non-smokers from second hand smoke exposure in indoor spaces.
To my view,Chinese government should take some action to prevent people from second-hand smoke. Raising the price of cigarette can be very efficient. What's more,some laws should be made to make sure that smoking is forbidden in public places. And public figures like singers,movie stars etc. should also set a good example.

Aggie@莎 said...

When I heard the news,acturally I didn't feel so shocked as many students did.All this because I saw many materials about Children Smoking before.
Children smoking is a serious problem all over the world,every country has taken action to prevent Children Smoking.However,there are only five percent of the people live in the country which completely prohibit smoking.About half the children live in the country sale the tobacco without forbiding.How terrible!
Smoking has more disadvantages to children than to adults.As the children are in the growth period,their organs are not so mature and their resistibility are very weaken.Once smoking,they will have massive harm.
Smoking is not only harmful to healthy,but also harmful to the study of the children.It leads them remember things slowly and psychasthenia.
In my opinion,we should propose no smoking among children,take advantage of TV,ads,and radio,newspapers to broadcast the disadvantages of smoking.
31th,May, is the no smoking day of the world.In 2008,the theme of the day is no smoking teenagers!It's very useful to children.It teaches children to keep off from smoking,no tobacco ads,no sales promotion!
We will join forces to propose no children smoking!

The Harm of Smoking
Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomforts for their fellows. Medicai scientists have expressed their concern about the effect of smoking on the health not only of
those who are smoking but also of those who live in the air polluted by tobacco smoke. And studies show that non-smokers suffer more than the smokers themselves.
A great number of students have joined in trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking. Smoking is not allowed in theatres, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore,smoking must be forbidden in our classrooms.
Although many people have passed away for having smoked a lot and we call on people to give up smoking, yet many more will turn down what we say every day. I think it more important to call on the smoker to use good judgment and to show concern for others.
By the way,Miller,do you smoke?

Christina said...

In my opinoin,the reason why so many children somke is result from their strong curiousity.They are young and always wanna try different things.But as they start smoking,they can hardly give up.
Besides,the adults also have the resposibility,especially the ones sell cigarettes to the children.They always just wanna make money,and do not care other things.
So,I have two ideas to prevent children smoking.The first one is to introduce the halmful effects about smoking to the children,then they may do not want to have a try. The second one is to forbid the adults of stores selling cigarettes to the children,and if they are found,they will be punished.This method aways depends on the goverment.

apple..羽 said...

Admittedly,China is one of the countries which is full of huge amount of smokers.In my opinion, the social atmosphere led to the bad effect,so this part's education on people,especially on kids,is the key.The new generation should be taught to forbid cigarettes when they are kids,if so,maybe they won't choose to smoke later in their conciousness.And also,our government can raise the price of cigarettes and tobaccos,only in this way can we lessen the total number of smokers throughout the whole the nation.
For second hand smoke,everyone knows that the harm on a second hand smoker is much more than a smoker himself.It sounds miserable,right?Somebody can kill others while suiciding oneself to some degree.Adults are always the examples foe children to imitate,if adults can set good examples for the next generation not only at home but also in public,the situation wille get better!

shirly said...

After i read this,i feel it is so terrible!Everyone know smoking is a slow way of death.To our health, it just a bad thing!There have been a lot of people died of it,especially,men!So i think we must do something to improve this!
Children are hope of development of our country,so we must forbid their smoking!But for adult,we should suggest them smoking less and take care of other people's health.Though many persons do not smoke,their health steel are in danger if they often in a smoking enviroment.That is to say,the second smoke harm to our health ,too.So,government set up many rules to limit it in public.
I have some ideas about forbiding children smoking.First,seller should increase the price of cigarette.Owing to lack of enough money,they may had to giving up it.
Scend,good enucation is very important!Parents and teachers should set a good example for them.
Third,a good relationship,not only in school but also in social,is good for them to grow healthily in mind.Surely,there are many ways to solve this problem.No matter what it is,we should do right now!I hope it will be improved!So let us take action from ourselves!

ANNMARIE said...

In my opinion, middle schools should be banned from smoking. Now ,providing a “no smoking campus” is our preoccupation. A 2006 report issued by the ministry said about 50 million Chinese teens smoked, accounting for 14.28 percent of the country’s total smoker .The world health organization report on the global tobacco advertising can hook more potential young smokers. So doing from ourselves is much more important.

We all know that now smoking is a very common social phenomenon,but I am really shocked by this report .I begin to know the defination'second hand smoking';it's terrible that people just can't pull themself out of smoking .They have to smoke ,and to accept the harmfull substances,like carbon monooxide,nicotine,which can result in cancers.How could this happen?I think the external factor is one big reason .The children are easy to be affected by their parents and the ones around them.And the price of cigarettes is low,also there are so many places selling these poisonous things .So we should increase the price of the cigarette and limit the selling of it ,also we should announce the harm the cigarette do to us publically .Only by the two sides, can we decrease this worrying situation.

Dear professer,
I want to apologise for my not having given you work on time.Since you assigned the week,I had done it on the internet,butI did not find it a few days ago,so I will do it again.
As we all know smoking is very harmful and costs a great deal of money .smonking dose harm to the health of smoker and even the poeple near them .however ,there are many children that are smoker .
First , I think they must be forbidden to smoking,beacuse smoking have an effect on their studies .Second ,the company should improve the price of cigarette,and not sell it to the children .Third ,wo should tell them the harm about smoking.
As for second hand smoker,I think it is more harmful to other people than smoker,though we are not smoker ,wo are harmed by cigarette .wo should prevent people from smoking in public.A good environment is our will.

A new US public health report concludes there is no safe level of environmental tobacco smoke. The nation's top public health physician, the Surgeon General, says inhaling someone else's tobacco smoke leads to an immediate chain of biological events that can lead to disease in a non-smoker and even death.
On September 18, 2007, the Surgeon General reemphasized that secondhand smoke causes premature death and disease in children and that US children are more heavily exposed to secondhand smoke than nonsmoking adults. The 2006 Surgeon General's report noted that 60 percent of US children aged 3-11 years early 22 million young people are exposed to secondhand smoke

As far as I know,smoking has a great influence in mordern society.They smoke just for lesson their burden,but I can't understand why children like smoking more and more.Maybe they just for fun,or just look cool.
Personnally speaking,their parents should set a good exmple for their children.Because children smoke just to find why their farther smokeing.If a farther doesn't like smoking ,he will teach his children keep away from smoking.The second point I want to say it's that they should have a lesson about smoking .their school should take the responsible.as our chinese euducation lack practical,I consider if we have classes like America euducation,children wouldn't smoke just nowadays.The third point is that the society ,especially the goverment shoul take measures to limit the selling of cigeratte,such as raise the price,limit the amounts of cigeratte,and so on. The society should hold activties to show the bad effcets on people's health,especially for children.
I do think secondhand smoke is harmful because I'm the victim of that.And it is more harmful for the victim than the smoker himself.It causes caugh as well as lung cancer.So it's really terrible.SO I appeal the society to take action to protect our health.Smokers,you should stop smoking,for your longs.

I am so sorry that I haven't leave the commet till now .I beg your forgiveness!
I am so shocked by this esscy. There should exist so many smokers in china.That is unbelievable !people all know clearly that smoking does harm to healthy.And we can see the same warning on the cigarette case.However,those smokers still smoke without any hesitation .
what'the worse,there are too many yong smokers,especialy children and students.I can't help worrying about them!
Besides,A number of second hand smokers are also very harmful.They do not hurt themselves but also threaten so many innocent person,because the smell of smoking goes into people's lung though breath.people who do not smoke become the greatest harmer.
So,our government must pay much attention to this phononenon.They must take drastic actions to control this kind of pollution.For our lives and environments,please drop the cigarette or smoke as little as possible.I am looking forward to living in a much clearer and healthier country!
