smoking

Smoking is big issue in China; more and more people smoke. It's more popular for women recently. Several years ago smoking was a men's thing, but now it is not just a men's thing, there are more and more women joining the smoking group. I think it's caused by the society we live in; women get the same stress as men, so smoking is one of the ways to reduce stress. There are many advertisements that showed smoking is bad for health, but they don't work well. Also there are many products to help smokers cut smoking, and many people tried them but they don't work, or it seems to work at the beginning but smokers will return to smoking soon. people tried to quit smoking by eating candy and chocolate when they feel they want to smoke and many other things. People know smoking is bad for themselves and for other people who don't smoke. Especially for children, it plays an important role. So there are rules that people can't smoke in public places.
