SUBIECTUL II READING COMPREHENSION (25 POINTS)

The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem. Doctors think that the annual
medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking is between
12 and 35 million pounds. And smoking costs society money in other ways. Between 27 and 61
billion pounds are spent each year on sick days when people don't go to work, on wages that you
don't get when you don't go to work, and on work lost at the company when you are sick. This
money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes. This
does not count fire started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure
another four thousand. Smoking costs every man, woman and child in the UK from one hundred
and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages. When you add
another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to one hundred
and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds. If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four could
have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more. Smoking will also cause other
problems. People who don't smoke will live longer, and so they will take money from the
government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes. In the
end, the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds. The good health of the people is the true
value for us all.
