The American cigarette companies are worried that the anti-smoking campaign(运动) is catching fire and the U. S. government may issue (发布) stronger regulations about the use of tobacco.

Many governments and private buildings have “No Smoking” regulations(规则). In airplanes, on trains and at cinemas, Golf courses are seriously thinking of keeping out smokers, so are schools, shopping malls and even football fields.

So where do people go to fill their lungs with nicotine? The government is working on it.

One suggestion is that the government set aside a piece of land somewhere in the United States where smokers could go when they want a cigarette. Yellow Stone Park has been on the list, but many people don’t agree because they fear that second-hand smoking would make the bears there sick.

The Mojave Desert in California is also being studied, and so are Las Vegas Casinos(拉斯维加斯赌场).

The smokers were not too nervous about the government idea. They say they are not going to California just to light up. They have a right to smoke at home. To make life more pleasant for those who find it hard to give up smoking, the government is seriously thinking of getting somewhere for the smokers.

The officials in the government say they realize that they are bringing trouble to people by making them go so far away to blow smoke rings. But they just had to do this or to ban(禁止) smoking in the entire country. Once everyone gets used to the idea, all will be better off soon.

The tobacco companies are fighting the idea like mad. They say nobody has proved that cigarettes are bad for you. They say as a matter of fact, the doctors have proved that a cigarette saved a person’s life after that person was shot.

Other places under consideration are: the cold areas in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and the Whitewater River in Arkansas.
