choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that

example a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do A multitude 多数 大批 of factors both inherited and environmental influence the development of health related behaviors and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual However the decision to adopt a particular health related behavior is usually one of personal choices There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices In discussing the morals of personal choice Fries and Grapo drew a comparison They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical 统计数字的 probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide 自杀 Thus
