SUBIECTUL I
Read the text below and complete the following tasks.

Most smokers sincerely want to quit. They know cigarettes threaten their health, set a bad example for their children, and cost an inordinate amount of money. (1) It is something each person has to decide for himself, and will require a personal commitment by the smoker. (2) What do you get out of smoking? What does it do for you? It is important to identify what you use smoking for and what kind of satisfaction you feel that you are getting from smoking. Many smokers use the cigarette in moments of stress or discomfort, and on occasion it may work. (3)But the heavy smoker, the person who tries to handle personal problems by smoking all day long, is apt to discover that cigarettes do not help him deal with his problems effectively. When it comes to quitting, this kind of smoker may find it easy to stop when everything is going well, but may be tempted to start again in a time of crisis.(4) The choice of a substitute depends on what will achieve the same effects without having any appreciable risk.
