The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21.The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the bill,California will become the second state,after Hawaii,to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products.More than 100 cities in the U.S.,including New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit. A week ago,the California Assembly approved the measure,which—in addition to raising the age limit—treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas,increases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax.The Assembly's vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21. California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying（游说）from tobacco interests.The measure also faced opposition from many Republicans,who said the state should not be involved in policing people's personal choices.“I don't smoke.I don't encourage my children to,"said Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner."But they're adults, and it's our job to treat our citizens as adults." But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids."This will save the medical system millions of dollars,"said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood.(76)"It will save thousands of lives."A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nationwide,tobacco use would drop by12 percent by the time today's teens reached adulthood.In addition，there would be 223，000 fewer premature（过早的）deaths and 50，000 fewer deaths from lung cancer."

Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes（路面坑洼）.The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson,Missisippi."I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city，"Chokwe says.His solution： an app（手机应用）that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks."When the app detects a pothole，it is highlighted（突出显示）in red，"Chokwe says."And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you."Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson.“It works by using the city's 311 call system,so it uses information already stored in a database," Chokwe says.(79)Through the call system,citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype（原型）. (80)Although the app isn't yet available for sale.Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther.“I want to keep working on the app until it's nationwide,"Chokwe says.
