英语作文-No Smoking in All Public Places-禁止在公共场所吸烟，
Some businesses now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. This is a good idea though it takes away some of our freedom.
As we know,smoking is harmful not only to our health but also to the environment. Smoking can lead to many diseases,such as lung cancer. Smoking affects non-smokers more than it does smokers. Ratio of passive smokers getting ill is higher than that of smokers. So,many nonsmokers are against smoking.
In public places,the harm of smoking is greater. This is connected with another effect of smoking. That is,smoking pollutes environment by giving much poisonous vapour off into the air.
Therefore,that the government ban smoking is very necessary and important to us. It is a measure to protect our health and environment. So many people,especially nonsmokers are Ior tile policy.
Some people say that it takes away some of our freedom. I think it is a one-sided view. If one wants to smoke,he may smoke in private,not in the public places. In fact,smokers still have the freedom of smoking.
But,I think,smokers had better give up smoking,not only in private places,but also in the public places,everywhere. It will be beneficial to all of us.
[点评]
作者以大多数人的看法对吸烟的危害性作了描述和议论，并认为政府应禁止人们在公众场合吸烟。道理显而易见，描述清晰、流畅。

禁止在公共场所吸烟
现在，有些单位宣称没有人可以在他们的办公室里吸烟。有些国家已禁止在公共场所吸烟，这种做法很好，尽管它剥夺了我们一些自由。正如我们所知道的，吸烟不仅对健康不利而且对环境也不利。吸烟会导致多种疾病，例如：肺癌。烟气对不吸烟者的影响有甚于对吸烟者本人的影响。被动吸烟比吸烟人患病率要高。所以很多不吸烟的人反对吸烟。
在公共场合吸烟危害更大，这是吸烟产生的另外一种影响。那就是，吸烟所产生的大量有害气体会污染环境。因此，政府禁烟对我们来说是非常必要的和重要的。这是保护人类健康和环境的一个办法。所以有许多人，尤其是不吸烟的都赞同这一政策。
有些人说这会剥夺我们的一些自由。我认为这样的观点是片面的。如果某人想抽烟，可以在私人场合抽烟而不是在公共场合。实际上，烟民仍然有吸烟的自由。不过，我认为不仅仅是私下里，而且，在公共场合，在任何地方烟民最好放弃抽烟。这会有益于每个人。
吸烟有害健康 [1]Before Dr. Luther L. Terry,then the Surgeon General of the United States,issued his office's first "Report on Smoking and Health" more than 30 years ago,thousands of articles had already been written on the effects of tobacco use on the human body.[2] Tobacco companies had countered the reports--which purported to show links between smoking and cancer and other serious diseases--with denials and competing studies.[3] So in 1964,Terry and his Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health knew they were stepping into a major pit of controversy when they announced "cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action".[4] It was America's first widely publicized acknowledgment that smoking cigarettes is a cause of serious diseases.[5] But the issue wasn't settled in 1964,nor is it settled in 1997,despite literally thousands more studies--and litigation that has forced at least one tobacco company to admit what some activists say they knew all along: cigarette smoke is hazardous to your health.[6] More than 30 years--and more than 20 Surgeon General reports--later,the issue appears headed for settlement in the courtroom rather than the laboratory.[1]30多年前，在当时美国的卫生局局长路德·L·特里博士发表他上任以来的第一份“有关吸烟与健康的报告”之前，已经有成千上万篇关于吸烟对人体健康影响的文章发表了。
[2]烟草公司对这些旨在表明吸烟和癌症以及其他疾病之间有关系的报告采取抵制的态度——予以否认，并提出分庭抗礼的研究报告。[3]所以，在1964年，特里和他的吸烟与健康咨询委员会就明白了，在他们宣布“吸烟危害健康，在美国应引起人们足够的重视，有必要采取适当的补救措施”时，他们就踏人了一个争论的大坑中了。
[4]那是美国第一次广泛宣传，承认吸烟会导致严重的疾病。[5]但是这个问题在1964年没有得到解决，在1997年还是没有解决，尽管确实又进行了数千项研究——且提起的诉讼已迫使至少一家烟草公司承认一些禁烟活动积极分子的说法，其实也是他们一直都明白的：吸烟对人体有危害。
[6]30多年以来，有20多位卫生局局长提出报告，此后，这个问题似乎是走向法庭解决，而不是在实验室解决。So what are the risks? Here's what tobacco's critics say: CANCER [7] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says cigarette smoking is responsible for 151,322 cancer deaths annually in the United States. Most of those--116,920--are from lung cancer. The CDC says men who smoke are 22 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers. Women who smoke are 12 times more likely to die from the disease.[8] Statistical studies have long shown that people who don't smoke live longer than people who do and scientists have seen statistically the correlation between smoking and incidences of lung cancer since the 1950s.[9] But a study earlier this year by Gerd Pfeifer of the Beckman Research Institute pinpointed specific carcinogens in cigarette smoke that target parts of a gene already known to be prominent in some cancers.[10] Pfeifer wrote in Science that cigarette smoke causes changes in the gene p53,which protects against cancer when normal but promotes cancer growth when mutated .[11] Another study,published by the American Cancer Society,said that low-tar cigarettes offered no relief from the potential of cancer,and in fact were responsible for a type of cancer that reaches deeper into lung tissue.[12] Other cancers are also affected by cigarette smoke. An American Cancer Society researcher reported earlier this year that smoking increased men's risk of dying of prostate cancer,while other studies have linked tobacco use to increased risk of other cancers,including throat,breast and bowel cancer.那么吸烟究竟有什么危害呢？还是听听烟草批评家们的说法：癌症 [7]疾病防治中心说，吸烟是导致美国每年151322位癌症患者死亡的罪魁祸首。
这些死亡者中的大多数——116990人是死于肺癌。疾病防治中心认为，男性烟民死于肺癌的可能性是非吸烟者的22倍。
女性烟民死于肺癌的可能性是非吸烟者的12倍。[8]统计数据研究早就表明，不吸烟的人比烟民长寿，而且自20世纪50年代以来，科学家们通过统计资料，已经发现了吸烟和肺癌发病率之间的相互关系。
[9]而今年早些时候，贝克曼研究所的格尔德·普法伊费尔所作的一项研究确切地指出了卷烟烟雾中固有的致癌物，这些致癌物袭击的目标是一种基因的某些部分，人们已经发现，这种基因在一些癌症中很突出。[10]普法伊费尔在《科学》杂志上写道，吸烟使p53基因发生改变，这种基因在正常情况下起着防癌的作用，但在发生突变时，就会加快癌症的发展。
[11]美国癌症协会发表的另一份研究报告说，尼古丁含。
Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned? Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places. Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places. However,most non-smokers regard the ban as good news. As far as I'm concerned,smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants,theaters and public squares。
On the one hand,smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others. It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world. On the other hand,smoking pollutes the air. Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke,how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides,smoking is bad for the elevation of a country's image in the world。I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places,most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air. And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved。
One possible version: Smoking is a serious problem among teenagers in China. It
is reported that 35% students from 12 to 15 smoke. Some are just curious about
it when they see others smoking. Unfortunately,others fall into the habit. And
it is difficult to give up. I think it is not right for the students to smoke.
Smoking is bad for people's health. Many smokers died of lung cancer. It also
harms people's mental development,especially for teenagers. Smoking pollutes
the air around us,and it can even cause fire. Every year,some people die from
the fire caused by smoking and at the same time many buildings are destroyed by
the fire. I hope those students who smoke should give up smoking as soon as
possible,it is not only good for yourself but also for your family and people
around you. You should put your heart into studies,and play ball games with
your friends to make yourself a happy and healthy teenager.
Smoking is Harmful
It has been estimated that smokers have made up half of the population in China. And the smokers are becoming younger and younger,even ineluding some middle school students.
Nowadays more and more people have realized smoking can do harm to people'shealth. However,some people still enjoy smoking. Why? Because some of them think it is a kind of fashion,some think it is of great fun and others,think that smoking can refresh themselves.
In fact,smoking is a bad habit. It can cause a lot of diseases. Meanwhile smoking is a waste of money. Besides,careless smokers may cause dangerous fires.
Smoking is harmful and it is not only bad for smokers themselves,but also bad for non-smokers.
Therefore,I hope all the smokers can give up smoking for themselves and also for the people around them.
Smoking Is Harmful At the class meeting our teacher read us a report in the newspaper. A certain student in a middle school smoked and he wouldn't get rid of the bad habit though his teacherand friends warned him not to smoke any more. He even stole money to get cigarettes and was pat into prison in the end. This really gave usa shock. As we all smoking is very harmful to our health. It does great harm not only to our health,but also to our mind,especially for us teenagers. Now more and more people all over the world have given up smoking or have made up their minds to do so,I think we middle school students are the future builders of our country. We should study hard and make progress every day. We should form good habits so that we can spend our time learning things useful and valuable for our motherland and people,I think today's class meeting is very meaningful to my classmates who have a bad habit of smoking.
