问题     Quitting smoking is more of a matter of willpower than of individual choice, for smoking is widely recognized as a hard habit that takes great determination and effort to get rid of once picked up. Despite the chance that a smoker can quit permanently through medication or doctors’ counseling, the best way to avoid the trouble is never to take up smoking to begin with.
    The irreversible effects of cigarette smoking vary in intensity and are related both to the amount and length of exposure and the age at which the person is initially exposed. Cigarette smoking is presently blamed for one-third of all cancer deaths in the United States. The sad fact is that more people take up smoking than give it up and that the demonstration of the potential risks caused by smoking can fail, particularly among the young and in face of the vigorous marketing of cigarette manufacturers. Smoking is banned in public places in some big cities, which is a positive sign that the awareness of the harm of cigarette smoking has been strengthened.
选项
答案     与其说戒烟是个人选择的问题，不如说是意志力的问题。其原因是吸烟被公认为是个顽习，一旦养成，就需要决心和努力才能戒掉。尽管有可能通过药物治疗或就医永远戒烟，但避免麻烦的最好办法就是一开始就不抽烟。
    吸烟产生的不可逆的影响程度不同，且与烟瘾和烟龄有关，也与最初接触烟的年龄有关。目前美国死于癌症的人当中有1／3是由于吸烟。令人遗憾的是，开始抽烟的人比戒烟的多，而且宣传吸烟潜在的危害可能不奏效，特别是在年轻人当中和由于烟草商的大力推销。在一些大城市的公共场所禁止吸烟，这是个积极的信号，表明人们更加明确地意识到吸烟的危害。
