o produced in 1994 and 14.2 billion pounds in 1995.\rBecause the amount of tobacco production is falling yearly, it can be predicted that\rthe tendency of tobacco consumption would also be falling yearly. There are many\rreasons. Firstly, smoking wastes money. Every year there are two hundred billion\rdollars "bumt''in the cigarette "fire.''Secondly, smoking would hardly do people\rany good and it can even cause cancer. Every year there are three million people\r“buried”in the cigarette "tomb".\rAlthough tobacco consumption is falling, there are too many people who smoke.\rThe population in the world is 5.8 billion, but about twenty percent of the population,\rthat is to say 1.1 billion people, smoke. So the situation is serious and the movement\ragainst smoking is still a difficult task.
