I confidently believe that there will be less and less tobacco consumption in the future, generally for two reasons. On the one hand, being aware of the harm of smoking, more and more people join in the fight against it. They either try their best to give up smoking or advise others not to smoke any longer. 　　On the other hand, many governments have attached more attention to this social hazard and take various measures to put an end to it. Therefore, I have every reason
