There’s a new teen trend and this one just may have you blowing smoke out of your ears. The good news is that the overall number of teens who smoke cigarettes has declined significantly during the past ten years. The bad news is that new statistics found that the cigar use among teens increased by more than 11% in the past decade. And the cigars are not the ones that your uncles smoked. The cigars of choice are candy-flavored. Selling tobacco products to minors remains illegal, but in typical teen fashion, teens are able to find adults to purchase these cigars for them and not all stores check IDs. The cigars are available in tempting flavors including chocolate, mango, strawberry and peach. The flavors are no doubt intended to conceal the taste of the tobacco. Also, the cigars are sold individually for an amount that any teen allowance can handle, which is less than one dollar. The saddest part of this situation is that teens are often unaware of the health risks associated with cigars. It certainly appears to be time to educate them that cigars may have more tobacco than cigarettes and may put them at risk for the same dreadful illnesses including cancer. Apparently, attempts at the state and local level have been unsuccessful. And the FDA has banned the sale of flavored cigarettes nationally but not flavored cigars. As expected, the Cigar Association has remained in silence on this issue.
16. What can we learn about teens’ smoking?
17. What can we learn about the flavored cigar?
18. What is the saddest part of teens’ smoking cigars?
19. What can we know about the efforts to solve this problem?
选项

B、It can be purchased individually at a time so it can be afforded by the teens.
C、There are only fruit-flavored cigars available at the market.
D、Most teens buy cigars because of peer pressure.
答案
B
解析
短文中间部分讲到,市场上销售巧克力、芒果、草莓和桃子等口味的雪茄,这些口味掩盖了烟草的味道,而且这些雪茄可以单根售卖,一根不到一美元,青少年的零花钱都可以支付得起。
