答案 The chart reports the average age when a smoker tries his/her first cigarette in 2003 and 2013. As is shown, most people begin to smoke when they’re teenagers or young adults. Compared to 2003, 2013 witnessed a nearly 12% and 15% increase respectively in the proportion of people below the age of 16 and people aged from 17 to 23 who first try smoking. It is shocking that the average starting age of smoking has trended downward over the past decade. Two main reasons may account for this phenomenon. First, many teenagers regard smoking as a symbol of maturity and attractiveness, which would drive them to try smoking. Second, teenagers are easily influenced by other smokers and get into the habit of smoking eventually. It’s high time that effective measures like persuading parents not to smoke in front of their children and warning teenagers of the health hazards caused by smoking were taken to prevent teenagers from becoming a smoker.
