Qiao is a sixth grader at Yuhui Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three
years. Liu, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Chicheng No. 2 Middle School. He began smoking four years ago.
"Smoking is part of my life," Liu said. Qiao and Liu are not those boys' real names. But their problem, smoking,
is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most
smokers start in their teens (years of a person's age from 13 to 19) or earlier.
A study of 8,000 Beijing students last May told us that smoking is a problem for many Chinese kids.
More than 21% of middle school students and 6% of primary school pupils said they smoked.
"If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted to nicotine. And it will be very hard
to give up later on," said a professor.
Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, that number
will go up to about 10 million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to
learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.
