    how much a year is spent on 20 cigarettes a day?

    • A.

      £200

    • B.

      £2000

    • C.

      £20.000

    Correct Answer
    B. £2000
    Explanation
    The correct answer is £2000. If someone smokes 20 cigarettes a day, they would be spending £2000 a year on cigarettes. This is calculated by multiplying the cost of a pack of cigarettes (let's say £10) by the number of packs smoked in a year (365 days divided by 20 cigarettes per day, which equals 18.25 packs). So, £10 multiplied by 18.25 packs equals £182.50 per month, and £182.50 multiplied by 12 months equals £2190 per year. Therefore, the correct answer is £2000.

    do roll-up cigarettes cause cancer?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Roll-up cigarettes, also known as hand-rolled cigarettes, are made by rolling loose tobacco in a rolling paper. These cigarettes do not undergo the same manufacturing processes as commercially produced cigarettes, which means they may contain higher levels of harmful substances such as tar, nicotine, and carcinogens. Smoking any form of tobacco, including roll-up cigarettes, has been linked to an increased risk of developing various types of cancer, including lung, mouth, throat, and esophageal cancer. Therefore, it can be concluded that roll-up cigarettes do cause cancer.

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "no" because even if you don't inhale the smoke, it can still harm your health. Smoking produces toxic chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes, leading to various health issues such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Additionally, secondhand smoke can also be harmful to others around you. Therefore, it is not okay to smoke even if you don't inhale.
