　　A
　　Terrie Hall, a cancer patient who made great contributions to the national anti-smoking ad campaign, died at the age of 53.
　　When she was a young woman Terrie started smoking in high school. “I thought it was a cool thing to do.” she said. The smosed throat cancer and oral cancer and the surgeries and radiation treatment took away her natural voice. But they also brought out a level of bravery and strength of character that amazed all of us.
　　In a society where women are often judged by their looks, Terrie did not hide the scars on her face caused by smoking. The scars on her jaw where part of her jaw had been cut out and on her throat where her larynx（喉）had been removed, only made her more determined to speak, especially to young people at school. She wanted young people to know the truth about tobacco.
　　She became known around the world through her participation in CDC’s smoking ad campaign. The ad where she showed how she got ready each day—putting on her wig（假发）, putting her hands-free device in the hole in her throat—is hard to watch.
　　Her video has become the most-viewed video ever on CDC’ YouTube pages with, over 2.5 million viewings, and has inspired more comments than any other CDC video. Her second ad, which touched on the fact that her grandchild never heard her precancerous voice, inspired thousands more to quit.
　　Lisa Hancock, a mother of a five-year-old child and a smoker smoking one pack to two packs of cigarettes a day, said she had tried to quit many time, before, but seeing Terrie’s ad helped her realize that smoking really did cause other types of cancer besides lung cancer, and helped motivate her to quit for good health.
　　Just a few weeks after the second ad, Terrie’s doctors, found her cancer caused by smoking bad spread to her brain. In her remaining days, she chose to keep fighting and keep working to save lives by showing the real consequences of cigarette smoking. She insisted on being filmed in hospital just two days before her death, sharing the final effects of Smoking on her body.
　　The disease that finally took her life never touched her great spirit. That spirit, the selfless work she did and the tens of thousands of lives she saved are Terrie Hall’s great legacies.
