12．Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect．But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to 1.01perpack-smokershavejammedtelephone"quitlines"acrossthecountryseekingtokickthehabit．
     This is not a surprise to public health advocates．They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive．Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase．
     The only wonder is tha tso many states insist on closing their ears to themessage．Tobacco taxes improve public health，health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted．Yet the rate of taxation varies widely．
     In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，apack of Marlboro Light Kings cost＄10.06 at one drug store Wednesday．Charleston，S，C．，wherethe7-cent-a-packtax is the lowest in the nation．The price was 4.78．
     The influence is obvious．
     In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%，far below the national average．By comparison，26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky，Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records．
     Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans"who choose to smoke．"
     That's true，But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place，As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better．

11．A year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan．His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising．The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years．Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-＄7，000，a legacy （遗产） form their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident．"It really made a difference when we were going under financially．"says Dave．
     But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches．Doxens of other families were touched by the Hatches'generosity．In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars； in other，it was more than＄100，000．

     Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it．"Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything，"says their friend Sand Van Weelden，"They could see things they could do go make you happier，and they would do them．
     Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed．It was the Hatches'wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cent-should enrich the whole community （社区） and Ish and Arlene Hatch's story．
