Previous studies have shown that watching screen smoking【C2】______parts of the brain, but the new research is the first to show that the【C3】______act of lighting up becomes automatic too.

"
    A study in 2003 showed that the movie industry was the biggest【C18】______prompting teenagers to begin smoking. And in 2008, a study revealed that【C19】______companies in the 1950s had【C20】______paid big stars to promote their products.
