新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ)視聽(tīng)說(shuō)教程第二冊(cè) Unit 4 Task 1: Banning Cigarette Ads

Nancy: Hey, Robert, what do you think about cigarette ads?

Robert: They’re disgusting. Many countries have banned tobacco ads completely.

Nancy: I heard in the States advertises are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.

Robert: But advertises keep finding ways around the law. Some years ago one cigarette ad showed a deer smoking, but it was dressed in a university sweater. Obviously the ad is trying to attract young people.

Nancy: In order to increase sales, they have to make smoking appealing to young people. Make them think it’s cool.

Robert: Right. Cigarette manufacturers need to keep bringing in new customers. The old ones are dying of lung cancer.

Nancy: Good point. Our Student Union should do some publicity against smoking in campus.

Robert: I couldn’t agree more.
