    IS TOBACCO A DRUG?

    I can’t stand smoking!

    The most difficult thing for me is to sit in a place that is full of the
    smell of cigarettes. When you visit an internet cafe’, the first thing
    you face is this big cloud of smoke and the unpleasant smell of
    cigarettes. It’s completely not healthy to stay in such place.

    Many people suffer from public places full of smokers who fill the air
    with their smoke. Even those who used to smoke once they stay
    away from this bad habit when they feel uncomfortable around
    smokers.

    In the past, people in Syria used to smoke only in public cafes, but
    nowadays people smoke everywhere, in the restaurant, offices,
    street, parks, even in the hall of the hospital. Smokers who used to
    smoke one pack daily and stopped can feel how much they lost of
    their lungs capacity.

    Lately the government has issued a law to prevent smoking in many


    places, but apparently that didn’t help. And the most important
    thing still is to find a way to convince and help people to stay away
    from the temporary pleasure of smoking.

    1) Write (T) if the sentence is true and (F) if it is false:

    A - ( ) The smell of cigarettes is very pleasant.


    B - ( ) It´s healthy to stay in places full of smokers.
    C - ( ) People suffer from public places full of smokers.
    D - ( ) In the past, people in Syria smoked everywhere.
    E-( ) People smoke in restaurants, offices, streets, parks and hospitals in Syria.
    F - ( ) Smoking is a healthy habit.
    G - ( ) Smokers lose their lungs capacity.
    H - ( ) We can help and convince people to stay away from this habit.
