The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S. , including New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.
A week ago, the California Assembly approved the measure, which—in addition to raising the age limit—treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, increases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly’ s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.
California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说)from tobacco interests. The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in policing people’ s personal choices. "I don’t smoke. I don’t encourage my children to,"said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. " But they’ re adults, and it’ s our job to treat our citizens as adults. "
But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. " This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. (76) "
It will save thousands of lives
. " A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide , tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today’ s teens reached adulthood. In addition, there would be 223,000 fewer premature(过早的)deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer. "
Which of the following is the first state to raise smoking age to 21?
选项
A、California.
B、Hawaii.
C、New York.
D、Washington.
答案
B
解析
细节题。题干问的是“哪个是第一个提高吸烟年龄到21岁的州?”根据定位句“加州将成为继夏威夷之后第二个提高购买香烟和其他烟草产品合法年龄的州”可以推断加州是第二个州,而夏威夷是第一个州,故选B。
