Wang Bing"s father began smoking when he was a freshman(大学一年级学生) in college.
His friend passed him his firstcigarette. He has now been smoking for more than 30 years. It"s
a classic example of how young people are introduced tocigarettes, except that nowadays smokers

It has become a major concern(担忧) in China that many teenagers begin to smoke. A survey
showed that 22.5% of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8% of
them smoked regularly.
For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟)
and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen.
The social environment also plays an important role inattracting teenagers to smoking. They
are used to seeing theirelders, especially male family members, smoking at home. Many ofthem
imitate adult behavior and become new smokers.
To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reducethe number of young smokers,
as teenagers have limited money tospend on them.
Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that
92.5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we persuade them in aproper
way, most of them may give up smoking.
All in all, the society, the government, the school and thefamily should join together to take the
responsibility for ananti-smoking (禁烟) campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans
and warnings on cigarette packs.
