Teachers and students:

00, hello everyone! The theme of my speech today is "stay away from tobacco and be a healthy middle school student"

May 3 1 World No Tobacco Day, with the theme of "Tobacco Industry Interfering with Tobacco Control" and the slogan of "Life and Tobacco Confrontation".

I believe everyone knows that tobacco is one of the most serious public health problems in the world today, and it is also the biggest risk factor for human health. At present, the total number of smokers in the world has exceeded 654.38+0.3 billion, and nearly 5 million people die from smoking every year.

People. For this reason, the United Nations World Health Organization suggested that April 7th 1987, 1 1 be designated as the first World No Tobacco Day, and then be fixed as May 3rd1every year. The purpose of this activity is to alert the world.

Smoking is harmful to health, so people are urged to give up smoking and create a healthy living environment for mankind.

So how harmful is tobacco?

According to research, nicotine in cigarettes can poison a mouse, and nicotine in a pack of cigarettes can poison a cow. Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day is equivalent to inhaling 50-70 mg of nicotine. If you take these doses at once, people will be killed. Apart from nicotine, cigarettes will produce about 5,000 compounds when lit, all of which are the culprit of cancer.

In a statement released this year, the World Health Organization pointed out: "Today, tobacco has become the second biggest killer in the world. The harm caused by smoking is more serious than SARS and tsunami. If the current trend remains unchanged, by 2020, 654.38+0 billion people will die prematurely every year because of smoking. "

If tobacco is so terrible, why do so many people smoke?

There are two main reasons: first, nicotine contained in tobacco is addictive, which makes people dependent and difficult to quit; Another reason is that most people have not regarded smoking as an ugly behavior that harms others and themselves. On the contrary, I think it is fashionable and chic. So smokers snowball more and more, and people rely on it more and more.

However, the tobacco dealer said, "We produce cigarettes for those who have no knowledge, young people and stupid people."

China is the largest producer and consumer of cigarettes in the world. More than one third of the cigarettes in the world are smoked by people in China. Teenagers account for a large proportion of smokers in China. Yes, teenagers are here.

It is said that smoking is far more harmful than imagined, which will not only lead to many diseases, but also affect the growth and development of bones. This is because teenagers are in the stage of rapid physical growth and development, and the various organ systems of the body are not yet mature.

The resistance to all kinds of toxic substances is not strong, and it is more toxic by smoke, which may even lead to premature aging and early death. Smoking may also make teenagers develop bad habits, induce bad behavior and even lead to crime.

Anti-smoking has become an urgent task in China. Therefore, the government of China has put forward the overall goal of reducing the total number of smokers in China by 1. 1 billion in the next 25 years.

In order to actively respond to the call of the government and for our own health, we call on all students to consciously stay away from cigarettes and persuade relatives and friends who smoke to give up smoking as much as possible. After all, cigarettes are harmful to us; After all, the air will be fresher without tobacco, and life will be more exciting without tobacco!

Thank you!
