All my friends at school smoked. Mydad smoked; he didn't want me to smokebut my friends kept saying I was foolish.They asked when I was going to grow up.So I started when I was sixteen and after amonth I couldn't stop. [But two years laterI could feel what smoking was doing to me.I couldn't run far， and I coughed everymorning. I got very iii and decided to stop.It wasn't easy， but now I 've done it， I feelbetter. And I have the money for otherthings.

If you smoke， you are twice as likely(可能) to die from a heart attack. And themore you smoke， the earlier the heart at-tack is likely to be. For example， a 50year-old who smokes more than 20 ciga-rettes a day， is four times more likely tohave heart disease(病) than a non-smokerof the same age.

What does smoking do to the heart?First of all， it makes it beat faster andincreases the blood pressure(壓). The ciga-rette smoke also reduces(減少) the amount(量) of oxygen(氧) in the blood. Consequently(因此)， the heart has to work harder， withless oxygen. Finally， your arteries(動脈) willnarrow faster if you smoke.

So if you want to reduce chances ofgetting heart disease， the answer is easy

don't smoke. Don't copy your friendsand other people who smoke. If you smoke，find out how to stop. Stopping isn't easy，but you' II be healthier， and you' II havemoney for other things.
