One of the reasons why young people smoke is that they think it is cool. In real life some stars like Jackie Chan（成龍）think smoking is bad. Chan doesn’t think it is cool at all! And sports stars like Yao Ming don’t smoke cigarettes, but they are very cool. Sometimes people start smoking because their friends ask them to do so, or they see other people like their parents doing it and think that it’s OK. Some people think that smoking can stop stress（壓力）. But there are better ways to beat stress.

●     Exercise is one way. Exercise relaxes your muscles（肌肉）and help you stop smoking if you have already started.

●     Go for a long walk without cigarettes, and breathe in the air around you. Maybe take some lunch and breathe in a park, and think about how much better you feel without a cigarette in your mouth.

●     Also think about the money you will save by not smoking. You can spend it on much more fun things like music, clothes or nice food.

●     To stay away from smoking, keep a list with you saying why smoking is bad.

●     Tell your friends and ask them to help you. If they’re your good friends, they will help you.

Millions of people have already given up smoking---it is not difficult if you try hard!

Almost all of us have bad habits. We all want to get rid of (擺脫) them, but we don’t know good ways. Here’s some advice.

●Write down all the reasons why you want to stop some bad habits. Look at the reasons very often.

●It’s clever to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can go out for a walk.

●You can get a prize if you really get rid of your bad habits.

●If you get too heavy, keep junk food out of your house.

●Bad habits develop(發(fā)展) over years, so you can’t get rid of them very soon. So you should be patient(耐心的).

●Don’t be afraid to ask others for help because everyone may have difficulties in their lives. You can talk to your friends, family or other people. When you talk to them, they can give you some advice.
