Alcohol and cigarettes are the two great-
est killers in the world. Hundreds of thou-
sands of people have died because of these
two social evils. As a result, some govern-
ments are trying to control the use of these
drugs. For example, in many countries, the
legal age for drinking has been raised from
eighteen to twenty-one. Some countries
have even banned smoking in public places.
People can help each other live longer by
simply discouraging these bad habits.
最大的殺手
酒和煙是全世界最大的兩個殺手。有數十萬計的人死于這兩
種有害于社會的東西。因此,有些政府正設法控制這些麻醉劑的
使用。例如,在許多國家中,喝酒的合法年齡已從18歲提高為
21 歲。有些國家甚至禁止在公共場所抽煙,而人們只要勸別
人改掉這些壞習慣,就可以幫助彼此活得久一點。
