【正确答案】[参考范文1]
We meet smokers everywhere: in the streets, on college campuses and in shops. There are 5.8 billion people in the world, and the smokers are about 1.1 billion, which makes up 20 percent of the world's total population. No wonder some tobacco companies are boasting that they are making great contribution to the world economy.
But smoking is very harmful. First, smoking consumes a great deal of money. As is shown in the graphs, 200 billion dollars is wasted due to tobacco consumption each year. What is more, smoking does harm to the health of smokers, and it is the main cause of lung cancer. About 3 million people die because of the relevant diseases derived from smoking every year.
From the following figures we can see that the amount of tobacco consumption is on the decrease, a clear evidence that more and more people are aware of the great harm of smoking to humans. The total amount of world tobacco production added up to 14.364 billion pounds in 1994, but it dropped to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995. Now, many countries call on people to give up smoking. Obviously it is high time that the tobacco manufacturers thought of the health of other people and tried to make their profits in some other areas.
