Lung cancer, bronchitis, and heart diseases are all effects of smoking tobacco. Smoking tobacco can also cause changes in mood and rotting of the teeth. These effects are especially bad the younger the smoker, as it can very easily stunt or damage children’s development. Use of tobacco by teenagers is increasing each year. As stated by The American Lung Association, nearly 6,000 children under the age 18 start smoking, and about 2,000 will become regular smokers.
Tobacco is a long tie product of Mother Nature; however the usage of tobacco has increasingly gone up in this day and age. But advertising can contribute to this, if my group had three questions to ask the big name cigarette company Presidents that advertise their tobacco products. It would be this, 1. What are the ingredients, that are in the product that your produce and market to the public? 2.
Addiction Trap Smoking cigarettes is a very common habit among the United States today, and continually growing. This habit is known to some as relaxing and to many as an addiction. With the attractive form of advertisement and the amount of consumers of cigarettes many people buy and smoke them, but are left in a habit that most people want to escape. Even though smoking has been around for many years, is it just a part of many peoples daily lives. But is this advertisement showing that it is an unescapable casualty in the eyes of many people and its consumers?
In the US, tobacco is the single most remunerative business in existence. Large tobacco industries as well as smaller businesses would be affected by the ban, and farmers of the plant would find themselves at loss of jobs. Unemployment is already a major issue in today’s society, and this ban would cause its rates to rocket. Tobacco is also a prominent player in the trade industry; countries such as LEDCs that rely on its trade (amongst that of other products) for their economy would find themselves at great loss. However, it could be argued that since tobacco lowers life expectancy and causes diseases, tobacco costs considerably more than it should to the taxpayer.
One of the most problematic health issues in our country is smoking.. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in America, due to its harmful contents. Although thousands of people die from it each year, it is one of the single, most preventable deaths. If tobacco production were made illegal, an enormous amount of lives would be saved. Currently in our country one in five deaths are caused by a smoking related disease (Tobacco).
Once addicted, the body will crave nicotine”. A study in the journal “Addictive Behaviors” found that most smokers who use e-cigs while they tried to quit either became hooked on vaping or reverted back to smoking cigarettes. In the end, e-cigarettes are converting millions of smokers into vapers still addicted to nicotine and expose to toxic chemicals that this new trend
Cocaine is another stimulant that often leads to dependence in users. It is derived from coca leaves, and was once a socially acceptable drug. Coca Cola used cocaine along with caffeine and sugar to produce one of western society’s most popular beverages (Rathus 113). Nicotine is yet another frequently abused stimulant prevalent in our time. Smoking is the primary causal factor for at least 30% of all cancer deaths, for nearly 80% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and for early cardiovascular disease and deaths (Adhikari B., PhD, J Kahende, PhD, A Malarcher, PhD, T Pechacek, PhD, V Tong 1).
Also, like in passage one, I need to show my readers what the author is revealing. Revised: Passage 2 Studies show due to cigarette smoke exposure, majority of smokers start smoking before they are adults (Wakefield 1). More shockingly, more than a quarter of those people smoked their first cigarette before they reached the age of ten. In addition, Wakefield states that if parent’s smoke, it is much more likely that the child will also smoke. Also included in the causation of youth smoking are tobacco industry promotions and advertising, which I believe should be illegal.
People who smoke are up to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nonsmokers, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked. In the United States, approximately thirty eight thousand deaths each year are caused by exposure to second hand smoke. Among current smokers, chronic lung disease accounts for about seventy three percent of smoking-related conditions. Over time, smoking will cause serious health conditions such as: cancer of mouth and gums, tooth loss, and obviously, lung cancer and death. Smoking can result in the loss of medical readiness, which can and will affect your chances to possibly stay in the service.
People who are in support of the prohibition against marijuana claim that the drug is unhealthy and dangerous. Yet the two most deadly drugs in America, alcohol and tobacco, are legal and regulated. Those two drugs are more addictive and deadly than marijuana. It would be best to legalize marijuana and control it in the same manner as alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol contributes to 41,000 fatal accidents a year; worldwide alcohol is the cause for four percent of all deaths, more than AIDS and violence (Armentano, 2012, para.
