1. I think the information in the article is still true. The reason is that I can frequently see people smoking, and this means the smoking population has risen.
2. I don't smoke so I cannot be so sure if America brands are popular. However, I can see people smoking many foreign brands such as Malboro.
3. My classmates used to say they smoke first because of peer pressure and stress they get, and lastly they get addicted to it.
4. Yes, there are many campaigns going on in Korea. Even in this university there is a anti-smoking campaign. Nevertheless, these never worked before and not working properly.
5. The rate of fastfood store has grown a lot. This draws to the conclusion that more people are eating fastfoods which are unhealthy.
1. Despite this articles written in 1990s, this articles is still valid. and smokers are continuing to increase.

2. May be yes, or not. It is a matter of personal taste. In korea, some people prefer strong tobacco, some people like mild cigarette,so strong tobacco liking people enjoy america cigarette. I think America brands are not popular but good seller.
3. Actually, i smoked 2years ago, but not now. I quit. Anyway, When i smoked, i just smoked any where, any time, because i don't know why but my body want to smoke.
In my opinion, it's a probably addiction symptom. Many people say "it is a just one of the habits." but i think the habit is appeared by cigarette's bad things.
4. Yes, anti-smoking capaign is working now, but i can't see every where the campaign.

but that means "now ok".

2. Yeah. American brand and Japanese brand more popular than korean or the other brand.
3. In my opinion, just curiosity. First smokers doesn't need cigarette and Just good show. u know ,for example, the movie. fighters, Marfia, gangs they are smoker. so they want to be.
4. Yes. They are working. But these campaigns are not popular. It means not spread everywhere.

And, foreign cigarettes sales have increased by over 30% during last 10 years.

Time passed by, they become addicted to it. And then, they can't quit it.

That's the problem.

1. Yes, I think It's true. Too many smokers are still exist. Most things haven't changed yet. I can see many people smoking anywhere and anytime.
2. I don't know exactry because I am not smoker but I see many people smoke American brands. They said American brand cigarette taste better than Korea one.
3. I think first time they start smoking out of curiosity and can not quit because cigarette has nicotin.
4. There are many anti-smoking campaigns in Korea. Even our school go on with campaigns. But I don't think it is working.
5. Drinking too much and cross the road on the red light against the traffic regulation.
1. Aarticle is right. Today smoking woman is increase. and man smoking also. then smoking people increase at the past.
2. I think Today, U.S cigarette influence get smaller. because korea is much developed economy and life style also. cigarette brand too. and korean patriotism influence Buy korea cigarette.
3. young people think, smoking is refinement. and toxicosis slowly.
and adult is smoking by stress and invitation resourcefulness.
4. Yes, Korea have an anti-smoking campaign. and you see stick a road at anti-smoking campaingn poster.
5. ungealthy habit bring fatness. This is result by not exercise,laziness and unbalanced diet.
1. This article information is true in 2009. I think the number of smoker is recently decreasing, but economy is much more depressed, smokers are increasing.
2. U.S cigarette brands are very popular in Aisa. As a smoker, I think that Asian smokers are easily purchase cigarette because U.S Cigarette company uses the more strategic marketing.
3. Cigarettes are more addictive than drugs(marijuana, hashish..etc)
4. Anti smoking campaign in korea is now working in school, street, bus stop throughout the Korea. Although Korea Medical govertment has implemented many anti-smoking campaign, Smokers are not awareness.
5. I think the worst unhealthy habit in Korean are Alcoholism.
1. The article is true. Because smoker is increased.
2. I don't know what is the international tobacco smoke does not know what South Korea.
3. Starting to look cool, or curiosity, will become addicted.
4. Yes, there are many. but smokers are mostly ignored.
5. Late-night eating, eating and drinking a lot
1.Yes. I think this information is almost true now. Smokers around me prefer to smoke American brands than Korean one, especially younger smoker like teenagers and in their 30s. I thing the thing only has changed is increasing of teenager smokers.
2.Yes. Some U.S cigarettes like Dunhill or Marlboro are pretty popular in here.
3. I think the reason why people cant quit smoke is because of the addiction.
4.Yes. We have an anti-smoking campaign, even our school has it as well. But it doesn't work. I think the best way to help people to quit smoke is raising of cigarette's price. Price for cigarette in U.S.A and Canada is very expensive compared with Korea.
So they don't smoke as much as Korean.
5.I think drinking is one of the unhealthy habits.
1. I think the article's information which was written in the 1990s is almost true in 2009.
Because, not only there are lots of people who smoke in the world, but also they do not care about health.
But, I hope smokers would be decreased.
2. Korea cigarette makers would like their brands to be very popular like americans who make cigarette.
Also, American brands is popular in Korea. But it is not sure because there are a lot of cigarettes in Korea and It's different according to people's taste.
3. It has an addiction. So people who smoke keep to smoke even if they already have known how unhealty to somoke.
4.Yes. Korea has many kinds of anti-smoking campaigns. So some people decide to quit smoke when they see the campaign first. But it never last for long. I don't think the campaign really works.
5. I think Overeating, Drinking too much, too much online gaming are unhealthy habits we have.
1. Not changed and still true.
2. May be I think that dunhil is foreign brand.
3. Because deficiency will power. but nicotin & tar is original reason.
4. Yes, but It is not have effect.
5. Inregular life style and junk food made it.
1. Yes. This article is still true.
2. I don't know what brand is popular because I don't smoking.
But I have known "Malboro" is famous brand.
3. People get rid of stress by smoking.
4. Many people doing campaign for stoping the smoking. But, effect is well...

5.

peole drink alchol,
quit drink, also, peole is very

3. They want to get rid of stress and they become addicted it.
4.Yes. We have an anti-smoking campaign. though I want to join it, but I cannot for lot of remains.
5. I think if you eat too much, you will get diseases.
1. Yes, it's true every years the old men quit the smoke but the young men and girls are more smoking in Korea.
2. Yes, I am a smoker, I have many smoker around me , they said development country's tabacco is more taste good than undevelopment.
3. Most of people smoking about curiosity but they try to quit the smoke they don't do that. To start smoking is easy, but to quit the smoke is very hard, there is a proverb in Korea, Don't play with quit the smoke men.
4.Many campaigns are, for example there is campaign at the ciggarets boxs, and tv, they show that very reallitic, Korea's very famous comedian lee ju il was dead for smoke, and he say carefully what I say #3.
5. That is the computer game. Little play the computer game is good but if they, children are poison with that, they can't grow up of height and they's eye-sight is down. That is social problem.
1.
The article is still true.
many people love smoking and It's not so good for health.
2. U.S. cigarette makers would like their brands to be very popular in Asia. What about Korea? Are American brands popular here?
I'm non smoker so I don't knew well. but I heard about Marlboro.

5.
fastfood drink not to exercise ect
1.It is ture and it isn't changeing. Far from lessing it, it is riseing.
2. I am not smoker, but I can see that a lot of foreign brands. But nowadays rate of Korean's brands rise because of row price than foreign brands's cigaret.
3. I think reason of smoking that is habit to smoker. Once one has started to smoke, never stop it. Because they have resons of smoking themsevles.
4. Sure, our contry has lots of campains. And eveywhere in Korea has non smorking places.
5. I have bed habit as like drinking alcoholic, enjoyed fast food and sleeping late.
