"SMOKING AND DRUGS
An important health issue for many young people is smoking. Millions of teenagers know it’s bad for them, but they still do it. Why? Some say it relaxes them when they are nervous. Others like the taste. Many say it’s a habit and they can’t stop it now.
For tobacco companies cigarettes mean profit, for doctor and health organizations they mean disease. The two sides are fighting a very expensive battle. About 100 million people around the world work in tobacco industry. Cigarette-smoking kills 2.5million people every year. Many of them die of lung cancer. Some aren’t smokers.
100 billion dollars are made from cigarettes alone every year. An American tobacco company developed a healthy cigarette in the ‘70s. It was never sold.
The first smokers were American Indians. Tobacco was brought to Europe by an Englishman, Sir Walter Raleigh, in the sixteenth century.
The world is having a drug crisis. There are more young addicts today than ever before. There are three main kinds of drug – hard, soft and legal. They can all cause addiction, illness and even death. Hard drugs include heroin and cocaine, soft include marijuana and solvents, such as glue, and legal legal drugs include tobacco, alcohol and certain tablets.
Drugs are the second biggest business in the world. Only arms business is bigger. The most important drug-growing areas are Latin America and South-East Asia. People there depend on the money made from their drug crops.
Thousands of drug-addicts die every year. Some die from drugs themselves. Others die form AIDS because they use dirty needles or share needles.
