    Example
    Is Smoking Good for Us?
    Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50
    thousands people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is
    seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die
    because of diseases caused by smoking.
    Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five
    cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non
    smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater.
    Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are
    smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease
    than non smokers.
    Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and
    pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as
    substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
    Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much
    money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.
