Qiao is a sixth-grader at Yuhui Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years.
Liu,15, is a Junior 2 student at Chicheng No.2 High School. He began smoking four years ago.“Smoking is part of my life,”Liu said.
Qiao and Liu are not those boys' real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens(years of a person's age from 13 to 19) or earlier. A study of 8000 Beijing students last May told us that smoking is a problem for many Chinese kids. More than 21% of high school students and 6% of primary school pupils said they smoked.
“If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted(上瘾) to nicotine(尼古丁). And it will be very hard to give up later on. ”
Every year, about four millon people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, the number will go up to about 10 millon a year by 2030, the World Health Organization(WHO,世界卫生组织) says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.
