　　Obama Still Smokes in Secret

　　US President Barack Obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers．He has just signed a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry．The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products．

　　At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of smokers who took up the habit before their 18 th birthday．

　　Obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hadn’t completely kicked the habit．Every now and then he still smokes in secret．

　　“As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time．Do I still smoke sometimes? Yes．Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No．” Obama said at a news conference．

　　“I don' t do it in front of my lads．I don ?t do it in front of my family．I wousay that I am 95% cured, but there are times when I mess up, " he said．

　　"Once you go down this path, it' s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law is so important．The new law is not about e, it' s about the next generation of kids coming up．What we don ' t want is kgoing down that path," he said．

　　Nearly 20% of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases．
