W: Yeah, (1)________________________________________.
M: Although tobacco companies advertise some cigarettes as “light”,this is just an advertising strategy to obscure the risks associated with smoking.Smoking a light cigarette is just as risky as smoking a regular one.In fact, research shows that people who smoke light cigarettes actually smoke differently in order to get higher levels of nicotine.
W: I didn’t know that.
M: The one thing you can say about tobacco companies is that they are really smart about marketing.(2)________________________________________________________.For example, ads will say that you’ve come a long way,or that you’ve found your voice,or encourage you to just be yourself,as if smoking has anything to do with progress and self-expression.Young women are especially easy to be influenced by these ads because addiction, disease,and premature death seem so remote to them.

W: So, Don, can you pass me that ashtray?
M: With pleasure, Yael, as long as you put it out.
