Lately a lot about the affects of smoking and second-hand smoke has been reported almost weekly in the news and it's getting very good coverage (报道范围). But we still have parents smoking in front of new-born babies and all the way through their kids' lives. For me personally, my mother and all my grandparents smoked. So no matter where I went I would inhale(吸入肺部) it. For the past year I've been trying to avoid my own MOTHER when she starts smoking...I feel angry because I've realized how much she is damaging everyone else's health in the house, especially her grandkids. Now this is happening all over the world. What are parents thinking? They are ignoring the warning signs. Are they just to be selfish and don't care about their kids' health and other people's? Why should I move out of the area because of their bad habit? Shouldn't they have to go outside the room and do it? What I'm saying is, SMOKING SHOULD BE BANNED AROUND CHILDREN! and it should be an offense to expose children to second-hand cigarette smoke. When the adult smokes his/her life with children growing up near them, when they die, the children are left with the harm caused by the parent and potentially a bad later life with disease and worse health. How often has the affects of smoking and second-hand smoke been reported in the newspaper?
