解析

试题分析：文章通过自己很难戒烟的痛苦经历，告诉读者戒烟很困难，最好就是从不开始吸烟。
小题1:考查句意和上下文，上文讲到以前家乡人人都吸烟，所以戒烟比较困难，现在美国不是人人吸烟，所以戒烟要容易的多，与B内容相符。
小题2:考查句意和上下文：根据They know it can cause cancer and heart disease可知，他们知道吸烟是有害健康的
小题3:考查句意和上下文：根据The nicotine makes him sick可知，第一次吸烟让人感到难受，
小题4:考查句意和上下文：根据Many people who quit will soon smoke again可知，很多人吸烟后又开始吸烟了，所以戒烟很难。
小题5:考查句意和上下文：根据前几句可知，一旦开始吸烟戒烟就很困难，所以最好的方法就是从不吸烟。
