Passage of the bill was praised by anti-tobacco advocates and the American Heart Association, among other health organizations. But the bill also has many critics, including researchers who say they worry that a blanket ban on e-cigarettes could harm the wider goals of anti-tobacco efforts by eliminating what experts consider a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes. Although they contain high levels of nicotine, which is highly addictive, e-cigarettes contain a fraction of the toxins that make conventional cigarettes the leading cause of preventable death in the US. Merchants in San Francisco will be allowed six months to deplete their stock, and the ban will not affect the sale of conventional cigarettes or cannabis joints. San Francisco has a long history of using ordinances to push progressive causes, imposing bans on plastic straws, the sale of fur products and facial recognition technologies, to name a few. The city has taken a leading role in tobacco control, banning flavored tobacco and cigarette sales at pharmacies. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.ban [b?n]vt.____________________________ 2.e-cigarette [?i??s?ɡ?ret]n.____________________________ 3.move [mu?v]n. ____________________________ 4.curb [k??(r)b]vt. ____________________________ 5.expert [?eksp??(r)t ]n. __________________________ 6.nicotine [?n?k?ti?n ]n. ____________________________ 7.epidemic [?ep??dem?k] n. ____________________________ 8.passage [?p?s?d?]n. ____________________________ 9.bill [b?l ]n. ____________________________ 10.anti-tobacco adj. ____________________________ 11.advocate n. ____________
