2a. Listen and read the text and give 3–4 sentences to explain what it is about. Guess the words in bold.

No one in the right mind will have a cocktail made from a rat poison, an insecticide [ɪnˈsektɪsaɪd] and a nail polish remover¹. Then why breathe it into your body? Do you know, cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals including around 46 carcinogens [kɑːrˈsɪnədʒ(ə)nz], some of which are hy-drogen cyanide² (found in rat poison), nicotine (used in insecti-cide), acetone (found in nail polish remover), formaldehyde³ (used to embalm dead bodies) and still more. All these chemicals are breathed into the body while smoking a cigarette.

One out of ten men in the world is a smoker and every 8 sec-onds someone dies because of this habit. According to the sta-tistics, smoking kills around 5 million people a year.

Nicotine in tobacco [təˈbækəʊ] reaches the brain through blood stream just 10 seconds after a person starts smoking.

Smoking influences different people in a different way. More than 40 diseases¹ are associated with smoking; it increases the risk of cancer (рак), bronchitis [brɒnˈkaɪtɪs], heart diseas-es, etc. Nicotinedecreases the oxygen carrying capacity (Спо-собность) of blood. The immune system of an active smoker is so bad that they take more time to recover from (поправить-ся от) any disease.

increase [ɪnˈkriːs] – увеличивать

decrease [dɪˈkriːs] – уменьшать

Vitamin C is destroyed (разрушается) by smoking. This is the reason why an active smoker usually looks older than their non-smoker friend. According to studies, an active smok-er is likely to live fourteen years less than non-smokers.

Smoking not only affects active smokers, but also affects the so-called passive smokers. If somebody smokes in the room, infants under 2 years of age can get bronchitis and pneumonia [njuːˈməʊnɪə].

It is never too late to start anything or stop anything. De-ciding to stop smoking is deciding to choose a healthy way of life. The body can go back to its normal soon after you say good-bye to your very last cigarette. One year after people stop smok-ing, the heart diseases decrease by 20% . So, just say “I am nev-er-ever going to smoke away my life and health” and be happy!
