In 16th of september, teacher invite his colleague teach our class about magazine publishing. In my mind, magazine publishing same like newspaper publishing, they must many people to do. Some is editor, some is producting, advertising, printing and marketing.

The guest lecturer call Mr.Bernard. He come from mobile magazine call mobile world. He incharge marketing departmant and some writing. He told that they just have about 5 colleague only. He said he got many free mobile that the seller give him to tried.

When we want to start to publish a new magazine, we must have a concept that what kind of magazine that we want to do. After that, we must have a planning for our magazine, then we must do a lot of assignment and marketing, we want to find a company that can advertise their product in our magazine. Finally, our magazine can be publish.

Magazine can clasify to 3: first is Editorial, second is Production, the last is Marketing. Editorial is incharge writing activities, writer must collect many information to write a latest technology about mobile. When they done their assignment, they will send to editor. Editor will check their spelling, and read their assignment. After that, they must designing the pages, when they finish designing, they also will send back to editor for checking. they will do a lot and choose the best and proofing, when finsh all the things, they will copy to a CD and send to company to printing their magazine.

Mr.Bernard really teach a lots to us about magazine publishing. he said publish magazine is very difficult to earn money in Malaysia. When 10 new magazines publish, after 1 year will just have 5 only, after 2 years will just have 3 magazine can continue to publishing their magazine.

Smoking

Smoking is one of the worst things to smokers and their side people because the second hand smokes. Smoking can harm their bodies, especially their lung, like pulmonary disease and lung cancer. Every time you inhale smoke from a cigarette, small amounts of these chemicals get into your blood through your lungs. They travel to all the parts of your body and cause harm.
All people know that smoking can harm our body. But many people especially teenagers every day smoking. Why? There's more than just one simple answer. Some teenagers may start smoking just because they're curious. Others may like the idea of doing something dangerous - something grown-ups don't want them to do. Still others might have grown up around lots of people who smoke and they might think it's the way to act like an adult. Although they know smoking can cause cancer but sometimes teenagers can't really think that far into the future to worry about an illness they might not get for 20 years.

So let’s talk about the problems that might affect smokers more quickly:
(1)bad breath
(2)yellow teeth
(3)smelly clothes
(4)more colds and coughs
(5)difficulty keeping up with friends when playing sports
(6)Empty wallet - cigarettes and tobacco products are very expensive!

Why many people like to smoking? Usually, people don't like smoking or chewing tobacco at first. Your body is smart, and it knows when it's being poisoned. When people try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burning in their throat and lungs. This is your lungs' way of trying to protect you and tell you to keep them smoke free. Also, many people say that they feel sick to their stomachs or even throw up. If someone accidentally swallows chewing tobacco, they may be sick for hours.

Some person like to smoke because like the feeling that smoking gives them. This good feeling is from the nicotine in the cigarettes. Some people think smoking will help them lose weight or stay thin. Many people also feel like smoking gives them a sense of freedom and independence, and some smoke to feel more comfortable in social situations. If this sounds like you, you should stop and think about whether the things you like about smoking are really worth the risks.

Now our government put a lot of money for the campaign of ‘Tak Nak’. This campaign is advice Malaysian stop to smoking and makes a health family. Not it at all, our Malaysia’s law also have rules is control smoking: Malaysian smokers under the age of 18 will be fined up to 1,000 ringgit under new anti-smoking measures imposed by the government. Anyone caught selling cigarettes to them would be fined up to 10,000 ringgit or jailed for up to two years, it’s can control the younger don’t smoking and increased smokers percentage in Malaysia. Although our government do many things to decrease the percentage smokers in Malaysia, but still many people smoking.

In my opinion, parents must be a good paragon to their children, they cant smoking in house, and must teach their children smoking is the worst things. So, children will develop a good habits and they will not smoking. In the other hand, in school teacher must give some information to students like the disadvantage of smoking, how to stop smoking and increase their vigilant of smoking.

If you feel that hard to stop smoking, you must tell your family, friends, and coworkers that you are going to quit and want their support. Ask them not to smoke around you or leave cigarettes out. Get individual, group, or telephone counseling. The more counseling you have, the better your chances are of quitting. Programs are given at local hospitals and health centers. Call your local health department for information about programs in your area. Talk to your health care provider (for example, doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, psychologist, or smoking counselor).

Learn new skills and behavior also can help you to stop smoking. Like try to distract yourself from urges to smoke. Talk to someone, go for a walk, or get busy with a task. Second, do something to reduce your stress. Take a hot bath, exercise, or read a book. Third, plan something enjoyable to do every day. Lastly is drinking a lot of water and other fluids.

In my conclusion, we are hard to control somebody to stop smoking, the important thing is their self. I hope smokers will stop smoking for their health and family. If our all Malaysian smokers stop smoking, our percentage of health will increase and we are a good paragon in the world. So, I hope it can happen in future.
