Questions are based on the following passage.
"If it were 1up to me, I would raise the cigarette tax so high that the revenuesfrom it would go to zero," thundered Michael Bloomberg back in 2002. New York City'scombative mayor has since raised cigarette taxes several times. The effect has been2, sohe wants to try something new. He recently proposed to outlaw discounting cigarettesand3them openly in stores.
A second paper provides ammunition ( 弹药 ) to those sceptical of higher cigarettetaxes as a way of discouraging smoking. John Cawley of Cornell University and Stephanievon Scholder of York University looked at how 4 young American smokers areto higher cigarette prices. Not very, it 5 out. That is because a big share--46% ofteenage girls and 30% of teenage boys--do not smoke for 6, but to stay thin or loseweight.
That may not be healthy, but it is rational: cigarettes appear to 7 the appetiteand increase the metabolic rate ( 代谢速率 ) . At any rate a 8 to lose weight makesyoung smokers much less sensitive to price changes: other ways of shedding pounds, suchas eating less or exercising more, are less appealing.
The 9 may not do much to stop already illicit smoking by young people.
Luckily, the study also opens up a new line of attack: convincing smokers that they are infact not overweight. Judged by their body-mass index, a way of measuring whether peopleare under-or overweight, many girls (but not boys) who smoked to get thinner were ofperfectly10weight.
