Đọc hiểu -TOEFL- Bài 35

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:

   According to top executives in the industry, cigarette smoking is
merely a nice habit, to be compared with chewing gum or drinking
your morning cup of coffee, and is no more addictive than eating
candies. But what is in fact the difference between eating donuts
5  and smoking cigarettes? It is one of possible obesity or possible
death.

In the U.S. about 400,000 deaths a year can be attributed to cigarette
smoking. Cigarette makers insist that there is no proof that heart
10 disease, even lung cancer, or any other disease, is actually caused
by cigarettes. They deny adding nicotine to cigarettes; they even
deny nicotine is addictive. They say that if it was, how could 40
million Americans have given up smoking in the last 20 years. They
compare it to coffee drinking and ask if coffee manufacturers are
15 accused of adding caffeine to their coffee.

Whatever the facts are, there is no doubt however that cigarette manufacturers
do try to entice young people, even in their teens, to smoke, by
advertisements and promotions that create an image even more addictive
20 than the nicotine in cigarettes.
