单选题 Most Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health. Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.
Most have learned, however, that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored. The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective. However, most people dislike being warned that they shouldn"t do something. It is a kind of psychological resistance.
Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package. The warning is simple, but the message is clear: smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger. On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning. There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.
The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind. It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol. Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal. Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an apparently harmless can of beer.
