IntroductionWhen it comes to smoking, different countries have different attitudes towards the habit. Some countries have a strong negative attitude towards smoking, while others do not. In both America and the United Kingdom, smokers are seen as social pariahs, while in Hong Kong the position towards smokers is not strict (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2013). However, the only similar attitude among all three countries is that they all disapprove of smoking. This article will explore the claim “Smokers in Britain and the United States are increasingly treated as social pariahs.” Comment on this view, compare and contrast the attitude towards smoking in both these countries with China's attitude in Hong Kong. Since America, Britain and China receive a lot of taxes from tobacco companies, it shows that these countries continue to define smoking as a bad habit. However, their attitude towards the practice is totally different. From the statement 'Smokers in Britain and the United States are increasingly treated as social pariahs', this means that smokers are seen as outcasts. In other words, smoking is not only discouraged but also considered a negative habit. As the most powerful countries in the world, both America and Britain have a loud voice against smoking compared to other countries. Conversely, this does not necessarily mean that other countries support or in any way support smoking. The statement does not even mean that other nations are lenient towards smoking habits (Mueller and Frith, 2010). Comparing the smoking altitude in America and Britain versus that of Hong Kong, there is a big difference. To begin with, let A...... be in the center of the paper......s.
