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.

Health experts are calling for action to expand cancer care and control in the developing world. A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer aggressively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.
Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.
They discover cancer dills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺结核) and malaria (疟疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.
Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the authors of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.
Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”
Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.
