Vincent(Introduction):Hello,everyone.Our group name is ACE.Our group
members are Vincent,Yvonne,Giraffe,Lizzy,Bella and Pocaco.Our group leader
is Giraffe.In this test,Vincent is in charge of the introduction,then
Yvonne,Giraffe,Lizzy and Bella are responsible for the content,Pocaco finally is
responsible for summing up.In our view,smoking should be banned in all public
places in China.As we all know,there are many people smoking,although
everyone knows smoking is harmful to us.Smoking and passive smoking is risk
factor that leads to various diseases.Nowadays smoking is a common
phenomenon in society.Smoking brings bad influence to oneself ,others,safety
and teenagers.Next,my partners will elaborate on these points.
Yvonne(Content1)：To begin with,we think smoking is harm to ourselves. As
the saying goes,the body is the capital of revolution. If people are addicted to
smoking,it can cause a lot of diseases,such as cancer and many other
diseases,it will reduce the length of our lives. And there are many stars die of
cancer caused by too much smoking,such as denglijun and zhaolirong.
Smoking for a long timecanmake our teeth yellow,too.Itis ugly.Thenaccording
to MOH,approximately one million deaths every year in China are caused by
tobacco----around one in six of all such deaths worldwide. In other
words,someone in China dies approximately every 30 seconds because of
tobacco use,or around 3000 people every day. This statistic is very alarming
and it deserves our attention. Meanwhile,smoking is a waste of money,the
longer we smoke,the more we addicted to it,it will cost a lot and it's a very large
burden to the family,perhaps it will lead to family conflicts.So we think smoking
should be banned in public place in China.
Giraffe(Content2):Smoking is not only harmful to one's own body,but also
harmful to others.When people smoke in public,people around them are forced
to inhale secondhand smoke.Many people smoke in public and never consider
others.Studies have shown that secondhand smoke increases the risk of
coronary heart disease and increases the risk of death from coronary heart
disease.Besides,according to <The 2010 global adult tobacco survey report of
China>,China has 740 million people suffering from the danger of secondhand
smoke,including 180 million children under the age of 15,each year more than
100,000 people died from secondhand smoke.In march 2004,Ireland became
the first country in the world to legislate for smoke-free workplaces.This
effectively reduces the harm of secondhand smoke to people.In the long
term,to protect more people from secondhand smoke,smokers have better
avoid smoking in public.
Lizzy(Content3):To begin with,a cigarette usually takes about ten minutes to b
urn,even butt can burn about 1-4 minutes.The center temperature of the butt i
s 2 to 5 times the burning temperature of the general object.It is easy to cause
fire if discarded butts are close to inflammable materials.According to <China
Fire Yearbook >,between 2001 and 2005 the number of fires caused by smoki
ng accounts for 7.7% of total fires.
Besides,There are more than 3800 chemicals in the smoke from tobacco
burning and majority is harmful to the people such as carbon monoxide nicotin
e.According to the monitoring data of PM2.5 concentration in public places, th
e average concentration of PM2.5 in a completely non-smoking area is 33.3 m
icrograms per cubic meter. In contrast, the average concentration of PM2.5 in
the smoking area was 103.95 micrograms per cubic meter, more than three ti
mes the concentration of PM2.5 in a completely non-smoking area.
Further more,smoking in public places is a reflection of lack of cultivation a
nd morality.While smoking in public places is a bad habits for a small number
of people,it affects the civilized image of the whole group.
Bella(Content4):Smoking in public can have a bad effect on young people.
*causes respiratory symptoms and diseases
*affects normal growth and development
*makes them feel that smoking is very popular and will blind them to
imitation
Teenagers have less immunity and lower self-control than adults
* physically * psychologically * waste money
Herd mentality and insufficient awareness make it easier for teenagers to be
affected by smoking in public places.
（Dr. Michael siegel, a researcher at Boston university's school of public
health said that if teenagers rarely see smokers in growing environment,they
may think smoking is not an accepted behavior by social , but if they often see
someone smoking around them, they would think that smoking is normal.）
Teenagers have a strong curiosity and many teenagers who know smoking
is harmful to them but still smoke are driven by curiosity.Many Many people
who smoke in public don't value their own behavior and unintentionally and
thoughtlessly show the thought that "adult can smoke".So many teenagers are
driven by this kind of psychology, using smoking as a sign of maturity, and
begin to imitate adult smoking.Smoking in public can lead to a mistaken
understanding of teenagers which makes them feel that smoking is very
popular and will blind them to imitation.
Pocaco(Conclusion):In conclusion，smoking should be banned in all public
places in china.
