It has large leaves that have been smoked in many forms for at least 2 000 years. But do you know that:Before the twentieth century, not many people died f

23、rom using tobacco because there wasnt much tobacco being used. Cigarettes had to be rolled by hand. A person who was really fast could roll about four cigarettes a minute, or around 2 000 a day. In 1884 the cigarette manufacturing machine was invented that could produce 120 000 cigarettes a day. Soo

24、n the number being sold rose to one billion a year. As a result of advertising and efficient machines, the tobacco business continued to grow. Today about 840 packs of cigarettes are sold every second in the US. Thats more than one million every hour! Imagine that! Blink you eyes and 840 packs are s

25、01d. Blink again - another 840 packs! As the number of cigarette sales increased, so did the number of deaths caused by cigarettes. Today one out of every five people who die in the US dies because of smoking. Smoking tobacco is responsible for more deaths than cocaine, heroin, alcohol, fire, automo

26、bile accidents, homicides, suicides, and AIDS combined. That amounts to about 430 000 people who die needlessly every year, 1 200 people who die every day because of their addiction to cigarettes.

29、e than women.

City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes arc less lik

30、ely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes every day.The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers amon

31、g women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenage smokers from upper-income, well-edu-cated families, and from f

32、amilies living in farm areas. High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after high school.
