尊敬的评委老师们：下午好。
我是竹料第一学校的蒋思敏。我演讲的题目是《爸爸，请您戒烟吧！》
我会这样劝爸爸戒烟：爸爸，您快戒烟吧，您快远离那恶魔吧。为了您的健康，请您戒烟吧。您可想过？当您捂着肺部，不住地咳嗽时，我的心是何等的痛！您那嘶哑的咳嗽声就如同一条条小虫，在我的心里不停地搅动。此时的我仿佛不用Ｘ光就可以透过您的肚皮看到您可怕的肺部。在我眼中，您仿佛已经变成了一条大香烟，这不，一靠近您，就扑来一阵难闻的香烟味儿。这多不好！香烟盒上，印着吸烟有害健康，您也知道。尼古丁可以致癌，您也知道。那为什么您还不戒烟？您总说不能戒，戒不了。我不相信，您是我的爸爸，您是最棒的！我坚信您能戒烟，您有这样的毅力。更何况，我和妈妈已经吸二手烟吸了十多年了。您也知道，吸二手烟对身体不好，您一定不忍心我们的健康被香烟侵害吧，您一向是最疼我的好爸爸。请您为我和妈妈戒烟吧。其实，吸二手烟的不止我和妈妈，还有千千万万的人正在吸二手烟。天上的烟雾应该就有您的一份功劳。爸爸，您一向是环保的好市民。您一定不想污染环境，我也不想。但您吸烟确实是污染了环境啊。为了环保，您戒烟吧。看看您自己，看看我和妈妈，看看烟雾迷蒙的天空，您是否有了深深的责任感？为了这沉重的责任，请您戒烟吧。为了您，为了您的家人，也为了您的家园，请您戒烟吧！
The Flag of the World Health OrganizationThe World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialised United Nations agency which acts as a coordinator and researcher for public health around the world. Established on 7 April 1948, and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the agency inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health Organization, which had been an agency of the League of Nations. The WHOs constitution states that its mission is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health. Its major task is to combat disease, especially key infectious diseases, and to promote the general health of the peoples of the world. Examples of its work include years of fighting smallpox. In 1979 the WHO declared that the disease had been eradicated - the first disease in history to be completely eliminated by deliberate human design. The WHO is nearing success in developing vaccines against malaria and schistosomiasis and aims to eradicate polio within the next few years. The organization has already endorsed the worlds first official HIV/AIDS Toolkit for Zimbabwe from October 3, 2006, making it an international standard.
The WHO is financed by contributions from member states and from donors. In recent years the WHOs work has involved more collaboration, currently around 80 such partnerships, with NGOs and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as with foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. Voluntary contributions to the WHO from national and local governments, foundations and NGOs, other UN organizations, and the private sector (including pharmaceutical companies), now exceed that of assessed contributions (dues) from its 193 member nations.
Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.
One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs
amputated.
Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain put on your body by smoking often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking
Please quip smoking for the sake of your health!
