Никоненко Тамара Петрівна

   A beautiful girl looks across the dinner table at an attractive young man. He is walking over her. She is pleased. She pauses while he comes near her. Then suddenly, when he is near, she turns round and walks quickly away. “Ugh”, she says, “he smells like an old ashtray”. It is an anti-smoking advertisement in British cinemas.
   In 1971 the British Government made a law about smoking. Every packet of cigarettes must have a health warning on it. Television and radio stations cannot advertise cigarettes. Almost half the trains in Britain is “No smoking”. You may not smoke in British theatres.
   But people still smoke where and when they can though they know that nicotine in tobacco is bad for them. Habits of younger people are not too fixed, that is why the Government films are for young people. The new advertisements in cinemas show attractive young men and women who smoke. Other young people look at them and say: “Yes, they are attractive, but ugh! Their hair and clothes smell of tobacco; their teeth and fingers are all yellow”. “Do you want to kiss an old ashtray?”
   Teenagers often have their first cigarette because they think they look older and more attractive if they smoke. Perhaps they won’t continue if they think it unattractive.
