          You've probably heard about the -dangers of smoking. The good news is that fewer teens smoke today than at any time since the 1990s. But here's  the bad news. Every day,nearly 4,000 kids in the U.S. try a cigarette for the first time. And every day,1,000 kids become regular smokers. Almost all teen smokers plan to quit within five years. But more than 60 percent are still smoking 7 to 9  years later.

           Most people hope every teen in the world stays away from cigarettes,but not the people who work for- tobacco companies. Before people knew that cigarettes were dangerous,tobacco companies openly marketed their products to teens. In the early 1900s,some cigarette packs included collectible baseball cards. In the 1940s and 1950s,tobacco advertisements often featured actors and actresses. That ended in 1964,when the U.S. government released the results of a major scientific study on the effects of smoking on health. New laws banned cigarette advertising on TV and radio.

            Advertising isn't  the only way tobacco companies have tried to market their products. Candy-flavor^

cigarettes were once common. They contained tone (Óж¾µÄ) chemicals and were as dangerous and addictive as regular cigarettes. Studies showed that these products were especially popular among teen smokers. And many teens mistakenly believed that these sweet cigarettes were safer than unflavored cigarettes. In 2009,flavored cigarettes were banned in the U.S..

            By now,maybe you,ve noticed a pattern: Each time new laws are passed to protect teens,tobacco companies come up with new methods. Many states have approved high taxes on cigarettes; and prices have been increased to reduce smoking. To deal with this,tobacco companies give discounts to convenience stores so they can charge less for cigarettes.

            The fact is that tobacco companies need you to become addicted to a deadly habit. Without new smokers,they will eventually go out of business. But you can at least make sure of one thing: They won't get you.

   A. smoking is still a problem among teenagers

          Sixteen dollars!That's the price of a movie ticket plus tax in Los Angeles. Thanks to an Indian chemist,that amount of cash could also provide clean water for a year for a poor family in the developing world.

          Thalappil Pradeep,a chemistry professor at the Indian Institute of Technology,spent 14 years developing a water filter(ÂËË®Æ÷) system that can. remove pollutants from India's groundwater as it is being pumped. The water purifier,which Pradeep first showed to the public in 2012,is the first filter of its kind in India. The country's federal government recently decided to place the pumps across the nation,Pradeep said. He and a team of students formed a company to keep up with the work,he added.

            The device£¨É豸£© come in two sizes and at three price levels,which include installation (°²×°) costs: The $16 version is for homes; a larger one that can be used at schools and office buildings is $500 (connecting a whole village costs $700 more) . The larger purifier,which stands nine feet tall,produces about 80 gallons of clean water per hour.

            Worldwide,663 million people do not have access to clean and safe water. In India,access to clean water is particularly poor. About 21  percent of illnesses in India are caused by drinking dirty water,and more than 100,000 deaths are caused by water-borne illnesses each year.

           The first of Pradeep¡®s  pumps was "installed in West Bengal,a state in eastern India,in 2012. The state government took notice and installed pumps at 330 schools across the region. As a result,now about 500,000 people have access to clean water from these pumps,said Pradeep.
