vovangra [49]

Answer:

President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.

Explanation:

Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible "dirty numbers" linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said.

What is the purpose of this public service announcement?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

We should not smoke because smoking damages the heart and blood circulation, making it more likely that someone who smokes regularly will get heart disease or have a heart attack. Smoking can also make you feel more out of breath when you exercise, and make you more likely to get coughs and colds.

WHY PEOPLE SMOKE

One of the main reasons people still smoke today is that they started smoking in the first place. People start smoking for many reasons: advertisements, peer pressure, etc. Like many addictive illegal drugs, nicotine makes a smoker continue to crave cigarettes if they try to stop smoking.                 Many smokers report that they enjoy the ritual of smoking. They also say that smoking gives them a pleasurable feeling.
