Cigarettes. Tobacco. They are dangerous, and you should not take cigarettes. You will be addicted which makes you want more, and makes most people confident. Are you even on cigarettes right now? Well, whether it is yes or no, I have some solutions.

    Cigarettes come from tobacco; a plant. This plant contains nicotine; a drug which keeps you addicted. Inside a cigarette, there are more than 4000 substances added, after the tobacco itself. Some are hidden in others. Now why would they do this? These are additives. Additives are the substances that adds flavor to the cigarette. Here are some of the 4000.

    Butane: Lighter Fluid

    Methane: Sewer Gas

    Ammonia: Household Cleaner

    Arsenic: Poison

    Methanol: Rocket Fuel

    Cadmium: Substance from batteries

    Now you see, already some of these substances can be very hazardous （dangerous） to your health, especially your lungs. When you breathe a cigarette, you will experience:

    shortness of breath

    in time your nails and teeth will turn yellow

    your breath would smell

    a little increase in your blood pressure

    Those are the short-term effects, now the long-term.

    香煙，煙草，都是有害物質，大家應遠離吸煙。人們一旦吸煙，就會感覺愉悅，從而逐漸對香煙上癮，隨即成為吸煙者，然后對香煙的需求量也越來越大。現在，你正在吸煙嗎？不管是否，都請聽我一些建議。

    香煙的主要材料是煙草，煙草是一種特殊植物，它含有一種能使人成癮的特殊成分---尼古丁。一根香煙的制作，除了煙草本身，還蘊含了4000多種其他物質，當然還有許多成分尚未鑒定出來。那為何要加入這些物質呢？人們把這些都稱為添加劑，這些添加劑有助于改善香煙的味道。其中就有以下這些成分：

    丁烷：一種易液化可燃性氣體

    甲烷：俗稱"沼氣".是下水道、化糞池等內產生的可燃性氣體。

    氨水：洗滌劑

    砷：俗稱"砒霜",劇毒物質。

    甲醇：火箭燃料

    鎘：電池內的一種金屬物

    現在你應該有所了解，香煙中所含的很多物質都是極度危害人類身體健康的，尤其是傷肺，當你在享用香煙時，你也同時在損害自身的呼吸系統，縮短壽命，你的指甲和牙齒也逐漸呈現惡心的黃色，口臭日益加重，血壓也隨之升高。

    這些都只是短期惡果，長期的則危害更大。

    長期吸煙者，容易患肺癌，食道癌，心肌梗塞，腎癌，胰腺癌，心臟病，動脈硬化，慢性肺炎，而女性，尤其是孕婦，如果吸煙，則會危害嬰兒，導致流產、畸形，或者早產、嬰兒體重偏低等。
