Strict Tobacco Controls

These days, the U.S government is planing new law about smoking. The new law is for smoker.

For example, first, the tobacco companies have to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes. Second, the companies have to be required new warning in the cigarettes' cover one of both sides of pack. Also, they can not mention their cigarette with words like "light" or "mild" on the cigarettes' pack. And so on. the government would help save the smokers. Also, the government wants to protect children and teenagers.However, I think the government might interfere in the tabacco companies too much.

According the article, I found out one interesting thing. It is that President Obama has struggled to quit smoking himself. He will sign the new law about tobacco but he has not quit smoking. Obama is also a smoker. He knows that how difficult to quit smoking. If the new law will be sign by the President, many tobacco companies would be hard to keep the rule.

However, I think that the more the tobacco rule is strict, the more smokers have to realize that the cigarette will be harmful for people. I hope the new law of tobacco will change the smokers' lives.

  1. You wrote a nice blog entry here. Keep up the good work.

    For your grammar, remember how I said in class that when you speak in general about a noun, you should use the plural. Here is an example. You wrote, "The new law is for smoker." It should say, "The new law is for smokers."
