The Chinese government receives a lot of money from sales of tobacco;in 1989 it received about 24 billion yuan.But in the same year,cigarette smoking cost the government even more money,about 28 billion yuan.Smokers cost the government a lot of money for two reasons.First,money is spent looking after people with illnesses which have been caused by smoking.Second,many fires are caused by smokers.People who smoke in bed often fall asleep while they are smoking.The bedclothes catch fire and the whole house may be burnt down.中国政府从烟草销售中获得巨额收入；1989年的收入约为240亿万元。

但是在同一年，吸烟使政府付出更多的钱，约为280亿元吸烟者使政府耗资巨大的原因有两个第一，政府要花钱来照料因吸烟而患病的人第二，许多火灾是由吸烟者引起的躺在床上吸烟的人，经常在吸烟的时候瞅着了先是床单着火，然后整个房子可能被烧毁China produces one third of the world's cigarettes.Each day,about 220 million packets of cigarettes are smoked by Chinese.This is good news for the tobacco companies,but bad news for the health of the nation.Every year,tobacco companies must persuade new people to start smoking cigarettes.This is because each year millions of smokers die from the habit.中国生产世界1/3的香烟每一天，中国人大约吸2.2亿包的香烟这对烟草公司来说是个好消息。

但对整个民族的健康来说却是个坏消息每年烟草公司必须设法使不吸烟的人开始吸烟这是因为每一年有数以百万计的瘾君子死掉In Britain,which has a population of only 58 million people,110,000 people die from smoking each year.The chance is that one smoker in four will die from smoking.英国仅有5800万人口，但每年就有11万人因吸烟而死去每四个吸烟者当中就可能会有一个因吸烟而死亡In Britain,sales of cigarettes have been reduced by 30% in the last ten years.Just under a third of the population now smokes,about 17 million people.In the 16-19 age group,32% of women smoke,compared to 28% of men.However,in the 20-24 age group,39% of women smoke and 38%of men.The problem is that 300 people are dying each day from illnesses caused by smoking. Therefore,if the tobacco companies want to remain in business,they have to encourage more young people to start smoking.在过去的十年里，英国香烟的销售量下跌了30%。

现在只有不到人口总数的1/3的人，约1700万人吸烟在16岁至19岁年龄组里，有32%的妇女吸烟，而男人只有28%然而在20岁至24岁年龄组里，有39%的妇女吸烟，而男人只有38%问题是，每一天将有300人由于吸烟引起的疾病而死去因些，如果烟草公司想继续保持营业的话，就得鼓励年轻人开始吸烟Lesson 71.NO SMOKING,PLEASE!(2)In Britain,70% of smokers say that they would like to stop smoking,and of these smokers,83% have tried more than once to give it up.Why do smokers continue to smoke,even when they know that the habit may kill them or at least cause a serious illness? The problem with tobacco is that it contains a drug called nicotine. Nicotine is a drug that gets gets one into the habit of smoking.That means that once you start taking the drug,it is hard to stop.在英国，有70%的吸烟者说他们愿意戒烟。

同时，这些吸烟者当中，有83%的人已不止一次地试过把烟戒掉为什么吸烟者在即使知道吸烟习惯会夺走他们的生命，或者至少会导致严重的疾病时还继续吸烟呢？烟草的问题在于它含有一种叫尼古丁的毒品尼古丁是一种使人吸上烟瘾的毒品那就是说，一旦吸上这种毒，你便难以戒掉When smokers who are used to nicotine go without it for an hour or two,they begin to feel bad.The body is calling for a new supply of the drug nicotine.So they say "I must have a cigarette".In fact,they don't need a cigarette.All they need is something to make them feel better at that moment.One thing that will stop them feeling bad is the drug nicotine,which is contained in cigarettes.And so their habit of smoking continues.那些对尼古丁上了瘾的吸烟者，若一两个小时没有尼古丁，便感觉到难受，体内要求补充能使人上瘾的尼古丁。

因此，他们说“我一定要吸一支烟”事实上，他们不需要一支烟他们所需要的只是某种使他们当时感到舒服的东西有一样东西会使他们不感到难受，那就是使人上瘾的尼古丁，它含在香烟之中因此，他们吸烟的习惯就改变不了。
