Dear editor,
I learned from your newspaper that you want an article about smoking
before the World No Tobacco Day(May 31). Now I'd like to give one.
China's Ministry of Health gave a report about smoking in China on
May 30, 2012. It was reported that about 300 million Chinese smoked.
More than 52.9 percent were men and about 47.1 percent were women-
smokers. 740 million Chinese were suffering from second-hand smoke.
The death toll caused by smoking reached 1 million every year. And it
would rise to 3 million after 2050. The fact is horrible. So, in order
to keep us Chinese healthy, we should forbid smoking in public
especially at school.
Yours,
XXX
