It is said that more than four-million people die each year from smoking. That number is increasing. Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening.      Yet people around the world continue to smoke. In the United States, about forty-seven-million adults (成年人) smoke. This year alone, more than four-hundred-thirty-thousand Americans will die of diseases, which have something to do with smoking. One day last month, thousands of Americans tried to stop smoking. They were taking part in the Great American Smokeout. The American Cancer Society has founded the Great American Smokeout every year for twenty-five years to show the dangers of smoking and provide support for people who decide to stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says smoking harms the body greatly. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes (香烟) is dangerous.      It is not easy to give up smoking. However, doctors say you probably will live longer if you do stop smoking. You will feel better and look better. You also will protect the health of family members who breathe your smoke.        The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking. They say any way to stop smoking that is effective (有效的) is worth trying. This could include (包括) taking long walks or spending time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, you could eat a small piece of fruit or vegetables instead of having a cigarette. The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they can reduce their chances of getting cancer and other diseases. (from VOA)
