Question

【题目】Smoking has become socially unacceptable in the USA, due in part to the health risks. Smoking is not permitted(允许) in public buildings, and many businesses, especially restaurants, will not permit people to smoke. Those restaurants that permit smoking will usually have a separate section for customers who smoke. Your school probably has a ban(禁令) on smoking within school buildings or near building entrances.

Tobacco(烟草) products mustn't be sold to anyone under 18 years old, and American law requires all stores to ask to see an ID for anyone under 27 years old.

If you are a guest in someone's home, you should ask whether it is OK to smoke before lighting up. If there are no ashtrays(烟灰缸) in the house, it is a good sign that smoking is not acceptable.

Smoking on airplane flights in the USA is not permitted. You will be severely(严厉地) punished for smoking on an airplane or in an airplane toilet. Smoking is not allowed on public transportation, either, including trains and buses.

Smoking around children is not right. Buying cigarettes for a child, or giving a child a cigarette is illegal(违法的).

It is quite impolite to blow smoke in someone's face.

If you are smoking and someone coughs, it is often a polite way of asking you to put the cigarette out.
