The American cigarette companies are worried about the anti(反对)-smoking movement of the US government. Many public buildings have "No smoking" signs, in airplanes, on trains, at cinemas, and even football fields.

So where do people have a smoke? The government is working on it. One suggestion is that the government set aside a piece of land somewhere in the United States where smokers could go when they want a cigarette. The Yellow Stone Park has been on the list, but many people don't agree because they fear that second-hand smoking would make the animals there sick.

The smokers were not too worried about the government idea. They say that they are not going to California just to light up a cigarette. They have a right to smoke at home. To make life more pleasant for those who find it hard to give up smoking, the government is seriously thinking of getting somewhere for the smokers.

Government officials say they realize that they are bringing trouble to people by making them go far away to have a smoke. But they just have to do this in the whole country. Once everyone gets used to the idea, all will be better off soon. The tobacco companies are fighting the idea. They say nobody has proved that cigarettes are bad for health. They say, in fact, doctors have proved that a cigarette saved a person's life after that person was shot. Other places under consideration are: the cold areas in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and the White Water River in Arkansas.
