Task 3
Rearrange the paragraphs below to structure a good analytIcal exposItion text.
(1) Cigarette smoke is the number one risk factor for lung cancer. The research shows
that smokers die 10 years eadier than nonsmokers. If we smoke five cigarettes a
day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a nonsmoker.
(2) AddÌtonally, children who breathe secondhand smoke can have respiratory
problems and lung cancer. So, smoking in your own homes will cause problems for
your children because their lungs are still developing. If you smoke around your
children or they are exposed to secondhand smoke in other places, they may be in
more danger than you realize.
(3) Smoking provides tobaco companies with opportunities to make money from
smoking habit. However it is detrimental to our health.
(4) Before deciding to smoke, it Is better to look at the facts. According to Howard J.
Shaffer, PhD, Addiction Medicine, Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than
443,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths
resulting from secondhand smoke exposure, that Is more than akohol, cocaine,
heroin, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fire, and acquired immunodefioency
syndrome (AIDS) combined. This Is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300
deaths every day. On average, smokers die10 years earlier than nonsmokers.
