&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Is this life quite long, so there is a need to shrink it?&lt;/font&gt; Most people donât think so. However a great deal of people &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;does&lt;/font&gt; bad habits &lt;strong&gt;that &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;harms &lt;/font&gt;their life and health. &lt;strike&gt;Nowadays&lt;/strike&gt; many &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;researches&lt;/font&gt; have confirmed the strong link between tobacco and cancers, but the number of smokers &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;is&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;still very high. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;The proportion of the male adult global population smokers almost half OâConnel (2006, 105).Although, the link between cancer and smoking, many teens worldwide smoke, it is around one in five OâConnel&lt;/font&gt; (2006, 105).However, the cigarette&lt;strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strike&gt; factories and tobacco companies have different opinion about smoking. &lt;strike&gt;They have large business and great deal of consumers.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;/span&gt;This essay will talk about &lt;u&gt;the &lt;/u&gt;advantages and disadvantages of smoking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;The first motivation of smoking is that smoking is a life style choice&lt;u&gt;,&lt;/u&gt; or in other words it is fashionable. So many people smoke in the first place to be stylish. The movies used to show actors smoke in many occasions, Moreover a number of popular people smoke in public. The pleasure could be seen as&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; advantage of smoking&lt;/font&gt;. People&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; some time&lt;/font&gt; smoke to feel happy. &lt;u&gt;Using smoking to &lt;/u&gt;relax is another reason &lt;strike&gt;for smoking which is very popular advantage as the smokers says&lt;/strike&gt;. Finally, the most important thing about smoking is making business. The &lt;u&gt;tobacco &lt;/u&gt;business is very huge and there are many tobacco factories. In result, many people work in that field .&lt;strike&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;m&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;oreover, Tobacco is the main product of some countries and especially the poor countries&lt;/strike&gt;. Also, tobacco trade gives a great deal of tax to governments which make it &lt;u&gt;a &lt;/u&gt;respectable business.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;On the other hand,&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; the tobacco&lt;/font&gt; (the act, not the product) has countless of disadvantages. Firstly, it causes diseases .The first time smoking was linked to cancer was in 1951 OâConnel (2006, 105).It &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;cause&lt;/font&gt; several &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;type&lt;/font&gt; of cancer such as lung cancer, oral cavity cancer and laryngeal cancer besides emphysema, chronic bronchitis&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;.The cigarette contains 4000 toxic chemicals with over 40 of them being known &lt;strong&gt;as &lt;/strong&gt;carcinogens. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;After all of these diseases what does not make people quit?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strike&gt;The&lt;/strike&gt; addiction &lt;strike&gt;is &lt;u&gt;the &lt;/u&gt;thing&lt;/strike&gt;. Actually addiction is&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;very complicated &lt;strike&gt;point of smoking especially between tobacco companies and society organizations&lt;/strike&gt;. Addiction guarantees long term business for &lt;u&gt;tobacco &lt;/u&gt;companies&lt;strike&gt; and great deal of consumers&lt;/strike&gt;. In fact, tobacco companies did not admit the smoking is addictive. However, is &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; smoking harm the smokers only?, Unfortunately, no. &lt;strike&gt;Every day there is a new disadvantage of smoking.&lt;/strike&gt; Passive smoking &lt;strike&gt;is&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strike&gt; breathing in of air that contains other people&amp;#39;s smoke which&lt;/strike&gt; harms nonsmokers too. As &lt;u&gt;a &lt;/u&gt;result of that many cities banned smoking in public places. &lt;strike&gt;The most annoyed issue is recruit young people .it is very harmful for community and it should be banned.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;In conclusion, smoking does not have advantage as much as disadvantages. Many countries have banned smoking in public places which is a good move. In &lt;font color="#000000"&gt;anotherâs&lt;/font&gt; opinion, banning smoking in most places is the best way to reduce &lt;u&gt;the &lt;/u&gt;number of smokers and that can be done by banning smoking in all closed places. Moreover prevent selling cigarettes to young people could reduce &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;smokers number&lt;/font&gt; in the future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Bibliography:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;OâConnel (2006).focus on IELTS, Pearson Longman.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
