What does the passage say about the secondhand smoke?
Scientific evidence has been building about the dangers to people who do not smoke from those who do. Now the top doctor in the United States says the evidence cannot be argued: secondhand tobacco smoke is a serious public health risk.
Recently Surgeon General Richard Carmona released the government’s largest report ever on secondhand smoke. For example, it says nonsmokers increase their risk of lung cancer by up to thirty percent if they live with a smoker.
He noted the added dangers faced by children who have to breathe secondhand smoke. These children are at increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, severe breathing problems and ear infections. The report says smoking by parents also slows lung growth in their children.
Scientists have estimated that secondhand smoke kills about fifty thousand adults in the United States each year.
The report says separating smokers from nonsmokers or trying to clean the air in buildings is not enough protection. Doctor Carmona noted the progress in establishing smoke-free public places in the United States. Blood tests show that Americans are being exposed to secondhand smoke in fewer numbers and at lower levels since the late 1980s.
选项
A、We should stay away from smokers.
B、We should clean the air in buildings.
C、We should establish smoke-free area.
D、We should lay a ban on tobacco production.
答案
D
解析
文章提到separate from the smokers以及clean the air in the buildings还不足以解决问题,但暗示了这也是解决问题的办法,文章又提到建立smoke-free public areas的进展,说明这也是积极的解决办法。但文章没有提到是否限制烟草生产问题,所以答案为D。
