If all smokers would break with the bad habit, our world will be much better.
如果全體煙民都戒了煙，世界將變得更好。

Nobody would die of lung cancer caused by smoking.
不會有人因吸煙造成肺癌而死亡。

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 somking.
吸煙會導致多種疾病，例如：肺癌。煙氣對不吸煙者的影響有甚于對吸煙者本人的影響。被動吸煙比吸煙人患病率要高。所以很多不吸煙的人反對吸煙。

Large areas of land, which formerly grew tobaccos, will now produce grains to feed some starving people in the world.
種植煙草的大量土地將被用來種莊稼以滿足饑餓者的需要。

In addition, the huge amounts of money spared may be poured into the construction of many highways, factories, hospitals and schools, which is of immense benefit to individuals as well as to the society.
此外，所節省的大筆資金可以用來建高速公路、工廠、醫院和學校，這無論對個人還是社會都有莫大的益處。

As we know, smoking is harmful not only to our health but also to the environment.
正如我們所知道的，吸煙不僅對健康不利而且對環境也不利。

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.
在公共場合吸煙危害更大，這是吸煙產生的另一種影響。那就是，吸煙所產生的大量有害氣體會污染環境。

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 for the policy.
因此，政府禁煙對我們來說是非常必要的和重要的。這是保護人類健康和環境的一個方法。所以有許多人，尤其是不吸煙的都贊同這一政策。

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.
現在，有些單位宣稱沒有人可以在他們的辦公室里吸煙。有些國家已禁止在公共場所吸煙，這種做法很好，盡管它剝奪了我們一些自由。

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.
有些人說這會剝奪我們的一些自由。我認為這樣的觀點是片面的。如果某人想抽煙，可以在私人場合抽煙而不是在公共場合。實際上，煙民仍然有吸煙的自由。

But, I think, smokers had betters give up smoking, not only in private places, but also in the public places, everywhere. It will be beneficial to all of us.
不過，我認為不僅僅是私下里，而且，在公共場合，在任何地方煙民最好放棄吸煙。這會有益于每個人。
