TASK 1 Test 35 question You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The tables below show people's reasons for giving up smoking, and when they intend to give up. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.
The two tables together give a snapshot of the reasons people choose to stop smoking and when they intend to give up.
The main reason
smokers
give for stopping is for general health (71%), with financial considerations (31%) and the risk of smoking-related diseases (25%) being the next
two most popular reasons. One fact to highlight from this
table is that almost twice the percentage of heavy smokers
cite present health problems as the reason compared to light smokers
.
According to
the second
table, the majority of smokers
questioned (71%) intended to give up, with light smokers
more inclined to stop (79%) than heavy smokers
(60%). 35% of smokers
said they were planning to give up within the next
six months and only 12% said they were prepared to try within the following month. Although
only 29% of smokers
on average were unwilling to give up, heavy smokers
were almost twice as unwilling to try as light smokers
, which perhaps reflects the level of addiction in the former group.Submitted by kewaljohal2000 on
