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 (有毒的) 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.
