Tony, 18. a member of an anti-tobacco(反烟草)group, he says, “Kids feel that everyone around them smokes.” Tony wants kids to realize that most people don’t smoke. He also wants to tell them that smoking doesn’t make one look cool. Two national studies show that teenage smoking is down. Still, there is work to be done.
Smoking is an unhealthy habit. It can cause heart disease, lung cancer and other serious illnesses. Just being around cigarette smoke can make you sick.
In the 1990s, all 50 states went to court to fight tobacco companies. The states won money from the companies. It helps to pay for anti-smoking groups, but the money is not enough.
Each day, about 4,000 kids light up for the first time. “We have to do a better job of stopping kids from smoking,” says Husten. Ads that tell ugly facts about smoking help to change minds. Setting smoke-free areas in public places works too. Just this month, a California town banned smoking in all public places, such as schools, shopping malls and libraries. It may be bad news for smokers. Health experts say that they will fight until all Americans get the message.根据句意
