Cambridge as already developing town before the first students and teacher arrived 800 years ago. It grew-up by the river Granta, as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875.

This disease connected to smoking are a big problem. Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease and other illness connected to smoking is between 12 and 45 million pounds.
And smoking costs society money in other ways. Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year on sick days when people don’t go to work, on wages that you don’t get when you don’t go to work, and on the work lost at the company when you are sick
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes. This does not count fires started by cigarettes which kill hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand. Smoking costs every man, woman and children in UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds. If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more.
Smoking will also cause other problems. People who don’t smoke will live longer, and so they will take money from the government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes.
