Giving Up Smoking
A number of devices are available to help a person quit smokin9。Nicotine(尼古丁)patches are small，nicotine—containing adhesive(粘着性的)discs applied to the skin．The nicotine is slowly absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream(血流)．Over lime．the nicotine dose is reduced and eventually the desire for nicotine is eased．Nicotine gum(口香糖)works in a similar manner，providing small doses of nicotine when chewed(咀嚼)．

In the United States，the first direct action to check smoking was the regulation of a warning on cigarette packages by the Federal Trade Commission．This warning took effect in l 964 and was strengthened in l 969 to read：“Warnin9：The Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health．”In l 97 1 all cigarette advertising was banned form. radio and television。and cities and states passed laws requiring nonsmoking sections in public places and workplaces．
