People have smoked cigarettes for a long time nqw. The tobacco which is used t~ make cigarettes was
first growri in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw
the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported 0 Europe where smoking began to catch on.
In the late 1800s, the Turks made cigarettes popular.

2


Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances,

tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as .he

tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves,
causes the hearts to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The United States Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is
the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that each
package of cigarettes bears a special v;arnirig about the dangers of smoking.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we oughtto

visit our dentist twice a year. He Gan fill the small

holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in
the right way. Unfortunately,

many people wait until they have a toothache before they see a deI1tist.

Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice aday,

one

after breakfast and one before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our
teeth after a meal. Thirdly we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: m~lk, cheese, fish,
brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables ano..fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are
bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and
cause decay.

by side under one government. The population of Canada has risen from1L5 .million in 1941 to 25

Canada's population is of British origin. Quebec province is still 90% French- there are some groups of
