    考研英语作文范文
    The majority of people would agree that cigarette smoking has caused
serious problems. But the tobacco companies insist that they contribute greatly
to the world economy by paying taxes to the government and employing hundreds of
workers.
    Personally, I believe that cigarette production and consumption threatens
to do more harm than good. Firstly, smoking is responsible for many fatal
diseases such as lung cancer, heart diseases and so on. According to the survey,
tobacco consumers account for about 20% of the world population, and among them,
three million people die from smoking-related diseases every year. The fact that
the output of tobacco production is reduced from 143.64 billion pounds in 1994
to 142 billion pounds in 1995 also suggests that people have come to realize the
negative effects of smoking. Secondly, tobacco consumption is extremely wasteful
of money. As is indicatd in the pictures, 200 billion US dollars is lost due to
smoking each year. Obviously, the total loss of money around the globe
substantially exceeds the gain in the industry.
    In conclusion, as the economic development aims at making our life better,
we cannot sacrifice our health for short-term financial benefits. If we have to
spend more and more money providing medical services for those who suffer from
smoking-related illnesses, the notion of promoting economy via tobacco
production is not justifable. It is high time that we fought for the total
tobacco ban.
