Reading

선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
Despite harsh anti smoking laws, many people continue to light up. Around the world, legislators have tried to eradicate people’s smoking habit by restricting smoking areas, banning or limiting tobacco ads, imposing steep taxes, and putting ominous health warnings on cigarette packages. But addictive habits are too strong to be ended overnight. The number of young smokers is rapidly growing. Some kids are curious, and others blindly imitate adult habits. An even larger portion of young smokers bend to peer pressure.
Another problem is that many governments rely heavily on income generated by cigarettes sales, so that they are reluctant to crack down aggressively. The government doesn’t seem to realize that skyrocketing health costs will outpace current incomes someday soon.
Opinion Sample:
Smokers complain whenever cigarettes prices go up. But I don’t think cigarettes are very expensive considering the bad effects of smoking.Smoking gives us many kinds of disease and increases medical costs all over the world. Smokers must pay their share of this uncalculated medical bill by paying additional taxes.
