Smoking: Yesterday and Today

The Senate passes anti-smoking bill today.

Cigarette smoking kills about 400,000 people in the United States every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 45 million U.S. adults are smokers, though the prevalence has fallen since the U.S. surgeon general's warning 45 years ago that tobacco causes lung cancer.

The evidence is concrete. Ask any physician.

But lets turn back time and see what doctors said about smoking in this 1950's Camel television commercial.

Tôi Với Trời Bơ Vơ- Me And the Lonesome Sky

By: Tùng Giang (1940- 2009)

Night, there's a long sigh
Night, there's some anguish
The city lies motionless
A pair of weary feet
Returning on a rain-flown path

Night, you sing in solitude
Lull me in a wholesome dream
Begging all the tranquility and calmness
For the small birds
High above the immense skies

You lull me to sleep
Unparalleled to the forlorn lines that you have written
You lull me to sleep
This lullaby dedicated and gentle
Who gave me one day of serene joy
For me to forget a tempestuous life
So that I still cherish the human race.

Night, blowing gently and chillingly
Deepening eyes of melancholy
Casting a shadow of my life on an old river
Me and the lonesome sky



Đêm có tiếng thở dài
Đêm có những ngậm ngùi,
Khu phố yên nằm
Đôi bàn chân mỏi
Trên lối về mưa bay

Đêm anh hát một mình
Ru em giấc mộng lành
Xin những yên bình
Cho loài chim nhỏ
Cao vút trời thênh thang

Anh ru em ngủ
Không bằng những lời buồn anh đã viết
Anh ru em ngủ
Này lời ru tha thiết dịu dàng
Ai cho tôi một ngày yên vui
Cho tôi quên cuộc đời bão nổi
Để tôi còn yêu thương loài người.

Đêm hiu hắt lạnh lùng
Sâu thêm mắt muộn phiền
Soi bóng đời mình bên giòng sông cũ
Tôi với trời bơ vơ
