Smoking Doesn’t Just Hurt Your Health
(excerpt)

The arguments about smoking are usually centered around its effects on the health of smokers and nonsmokers alike. Entire ad campaigns have been developed around the idea of educating smokers about the risk that smoking poses to their health. Chances are you’ve encountered the photo of that diseased lung in your health class. Lawsuits against tobacco companies have gained a lot of media attention. Cities have gone so far as to ban smoking inside buildings, restaurants, and bars. But have you ever stopped to think about what smoking does to the environment?

It is easy to guess that smoking might pollute the air. Did you know that tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals? Fifty of those chemicals are known to cause cancer, and two hundred are known poisons. Think about the fact that 20 percent of Americans smoke. Can you imagine how many chemicals are released into the air each year?

Cigarettes also account for an estimated 1.7 billion pounds of trash each year. Some people say the ban on smoking indoors in some cities could contribute negatively to this statistic. Because people are smoking outside, the number of cigarette butts they leave behind may increase dramatically.

A.
Smoking pollutes the air in public places, such as buildings, restaurants, and bars.
B.
Smoking not only produces negative effects on human health but also on the environment.
C.
Smoking damages the environment more severely than it damages human health.
D.
Smoking increases water pollution when cigarette butts are dumped into waterways.
E.
Smoking harms wild animals by polluting and destroying their natural habitats.
