Rob
Hello I'm Rob. Welcome to 6 Minute English. I'm joined today by Finn.

Finn
Hello.

Rob
Today we are going to talk about electronic cigarettes - also called e-cigarettes - and teach you words that will help you to discuss the subject or understand news about it.Do you smoke, Finn?

Finn
OK, go ahead.

Rob
According to the World Health Organisation, there are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. How many of these are known to be harmful to our health? Is it at least:

a) 50

b) 150

c) 250

Finn
Mm ... Let me think. (he guesses)?

Rob
You'll get the answer at the end of the programme. Well, electronic cigarettes are everywhere now. Some estimates say more than a million people are using e-cigarettes just in the UK. But these devices might not be very safe for secondary smokers ...

Finn
Is that so? I thought they were okay because they produce vapour rather than the smoke full of harmful chemicals you get in ordinary cigarettes.

Rob
It's vapour with some chemicals in it. And experts fear it could have similar effects to the smoke produced by ordinary cigarettes. Listen to what Professor John Ashton has to say. He's from the Faculty of Public Health here in the UK. Which words does he use to describe the use of e-cigarettes for an extended period of time?

INSERT
Professor John Ashton, from the Faculty of Public Health in the UK
There are scientists in America who've been studying second-hand effects of tobacco smoke who are raising these issues now about the e-cigarettes. And we really can't allow these things to get establishedbefore we know what the long-term effects are going to be.

Finn
He talks aboutlong-termeffects. He means that the constant use of e-cigarettes for an extended period of time might cause harm which we are not aware of yet.

Rob
You can't light up a cigarette in a pub or bar anymore. It was the effect of people's cigarette smoke on other staff that led to the ban on ordinary cigarettes in Britain. Private companies and the authorities are keen not to risk bringing back any kind of smoking to closed spaces in public places.

Rob
Yes, many people want to quit smoking - stop smoking - at once. And they find it easier to do this if they can use e-cigarettes. In the last few decades smokers have been feeling persecuted.

Finn
Yes, there's a lot of pressure for them to quit the habit.

Rob
Listen to what this smoker who uses e-cigarettes has to say.He's in a pub in Bristol. Which word does he use to talk about the harm certain things do to children?

INSERT
Male customer, Bristol pub
We react at absolutely everything in this world. What we'll gonna have eventually though is 'no drinking beer' in pubs because it's damaging for children to watch it happening.

Rob
Yes. An 'overreaction' means responding to something in a way which is more forceful than required. He complained that one day the authorities might end up banning people from drinking alcohol in pubs. Pubs, as we know, are bars to which most customers go to drink alcohol.

Finn
He is using some irony here.

Rob
Yes. The right to smoke or not smoke generates passionate debates. Smoking is bad for your health, but some people argue that eating junk food is bad too but it's still available all over the place.

Finn
Cigarettes are addictive and it's very difficult for people just to give them up.

Rob
But here are some facts which might make people think again. I told you earlier in the programme that there are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. And I asked you how many of these are known to be harmful to health. The options were: at least 50, 150 or 250?

Finn
I said 250. Is it as many as that, Rob?

Rob
It is as many as that.

Finn
Wow!

Rob
Yes, at least 250. Acording to the World Health Organisation website, it says that more than 50 chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to cause cancer. Any amount of second hand tobaco smoke is thought to be unsafe, and second hand smoke causes more that 600,000 early deaths per year. Well, as we are nearly the end of the programme, let's just remember some of the words we used today. Finn?

Finn
We heard:

cough

secondary smoker

ban

nicotine

long-term

quit smoking

damaging

overreaction

Finn
Bye.

Rob
Bye.

How French Health Care Compares To The US System

Katie Couric narrates the documentary "Fed Up."

Running time: 92 minutes. Rated: PG (mildly disturbing information). At the Angelika, Houston Street near Mercer Street.

'The deck is just stacked against being healthy," one public health official understates in this provocative, Katie Couric-narrated documentary about the nation's childhood obesity epidemic.

In a move sure to infuriate "nanny state" critics, director Stephanie Soechtig names the US government and food corporations responsible for a campaign to get Americans addicted to junk food - particularly, and most dangerously, sugar - as early as possible.

Toggling between profiles of kids struggling with their weight and a wider look at the evolution of processed foods, "Fed Up" presents a pretty watertight case that there's something deeply wrong with the way we eat. President Clinton, himself a reformed fast-foodie, weighs in, seeming to (vaguely) regret not doing more on this topic.

The film's illustration of how "fat free" became our go-to, despite the ever-increasing toxicity of those products, should hit home for anyone who's ever thought reaching for the nonfat Doritos was a good first step toward weight loss.
