The cigarette industry began in 1870s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing (加工) machine. Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit, but it has been proved to be bad for the health.

In Britain, the government has launched(发动) a movement against smoking. Advertisements list the number of people who die every year from cancer and other lung diseases because they smoke cigarettes. But the public do not take enough notice. The habit of smoking is very strong. When the government announces the results of medical studies on cigarette smoking, for a short time, smokers are worried. They buy fewer cigarettes for two or three months. But six months later sales are up again.

In 1971, the British government made a law about cigarettes. Every packet of cigarettes must have a health warning on it. The warning says,“Smoking can damage your health.”Every advertisement for cigarettes in magazines and newspapers must also say this. Television and radio stations can't advertise cigarettes. On British trains there used to be only a few carriages marked“No Smoking”. But people smoke cigarettes where and when they can. Aren't they worried about their health? Do they enjoy smoking so much that they don't care if they are ill?
