章节摘录

　　Two of the worlds richest men, with bank balances that rival thegross domestic product of small countries, are joining forces to wagewar against a common enemy——the tobacco industry.　　Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, and Michael Bloomberg,the Mayor of New York City, are making a combined investmenttoday of $500 million （~250 million） to try to reduce smoking incountries such as China and India and to help to prevent a "tobaccoepidemic" in Africa.　　The billionaires, through their eponymous charities, intend tolobby governments in Asia, Africa and South America to increasetaxes on cigarettes, implement smoking bans and raise awareness ofhealth risks.　　Nearly five million people worldwide a year——almost 14,000 every day——die from tobacco-related illness, more than are killed by any other single agent. Unless urgent action is taken, theysay, as many as one billion people——more than two thirds of these in the developing world——could die this century as a result of smoking.　　As rates of smoking have decreased in the developed world, tobacco companies haveconcentrated their advertising and marketing resources on the developing world.　　Many of the companies have argued that they are not trying to addict new smokers but aretrying only to convert adults who are smoking inferior local brands. However, the World HealthOrganization released a report this year that concluded that the industry was targeting teenagersand women. The developing world is also used as a "dumping ground" for much of the inferiorquality tobacco grown by the companies.　　One aspect often cited as a reason why many low and middle-income countries have resistedcalls to ban advertising is that they enjoy the revenues generated from tobacco taxes.　　The Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, which was established in 2005, has todate committed more than $375 million towards projects aimed at reducing passive smoking andhelping smokers to give up.
