Smoking poses significant health risks. It causes nearly a quarter of smoker deaths in Britain each year from smoking-related diseases. Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking, and smokers are at much higher risk of lung cancer, heart disease, bronchitis, and other illnesses. Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia from secondhand smoke. While smoking generates substantial profits for tobacco companies, it is clearly detrimental to public health.

1. Is Smoking Good For Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands people die
every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road
accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we
are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty
cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of
bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of
heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one
hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had
smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from
smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.
Jakarta as a Bad Working Place for Expatriates
Jakarta is the second-worst place for expatriates to work in outside of the United States of
America, Canada and Western Europe. It is according to a recent report published by
Businessweek.
The Businessweek report ranked emerging markets that might be challenging to move into
due to their level of pollution, disease, political violence and availability of good and
services.
The report ranked Jakarta second, just below lagos in Nageria and above Riyadh Saudi
Arabia, saying the threat of violence from extremest, in particular, was serious drawback to
living in Jakarta. Bombings targeting foreign interests in Jakarta, such as the JW Marriot
hotel bombing in 2003, have been repeated elsewhere in the city.
The report said despite problem common to many developing cities such as the risk of
disease, poor sanitation, and excessive pollution, Indonesia can be an enticing location.
In response, the Jakarta administration took the report positively, saying it could spur the
administration to improve its performance.
The Problem of Being Too Fat
Being too fat is commonly known as overweight or obesity. It is simply defined as too much body fat
inside. Overweight potentially leads high risk of health problem.
Being too fat is recognized as a major factor for heart disease. Due to the overweight, the heart will
work harder. It can lead to the heart attack. Furthermore, obesity potentially rises blood cholesterol
and blood pressure. In addition, being too fat can change the amount of sugar in the blood. This will
cause diabetes and other serous disease.

fat will bother their physical beauty appearance.
More serious studies are necessary to see the effect of obesity. However it is clear enough that
overweight is not good enough for healthy life.
Have Hand Phone is Important
I think that the all people must have hand phone. I have some arguments for my thesis.
Firstly I think easy to call the people who have hand phone, example we have a complication
with a friend we can ask forgive or forgive our friend.
For instance, when we have some buisnes with some body we can call them with push one
button and they will come.
Secondly, we can get the information quickly. We can get information quickly although we
are far from the information.
Thirdly, we can use the hand phone to the other functions such us calculator, browser the
internet, dictionary, camera, radio, music player etc.
Thirdly, we follow the ICT, fourthly we can get the money from the hand phone, we can open
the counter or we can refill the pulse.
And I believe we must have the hand phone.
Air Pollutan
Air pollution is one of the harmful substances that causes demage to the environment, human healt,
and quality of life. It makes people sick like having breathing problems and cancer.
Pollutants also come from other sources. For instance, decomposing garbage in landfills and solid
3. waste disposal sites emits methane gas and many product give off VOCs
Unlike pollutants from human activity however, natural pollutanta tend to remain in the atmosphere
for a short time and do not lead to permanent atmosphere change.
