You would think if I could fight a Heroin addiction, I can quit smoking. One thing that I know that would benefit other people if smokers quit, is second hand smoke. “Secondhand smoke is associated with disease and premature death in nonsmoking adults and children. Exposure to secondhand smoke irritates the airways and has immediate harmful effects on a person’s heart and blood vessels. It may increase the risk of heart disease by an estimate 25 to 30 percent…” If we could ban cigarettes all together, I bet the amount of cancer problems we have will dramatically lessen.
Alcohol alone can cause “high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, digestive problems” as well as depression, anxiety, and more (Alcohol and Public Health, 2014). Tobacco isn’t any better. It can cause Cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and more. Tobacco use can also affect people who aren’t smoking. Second hand smoking is what it’s called.
Rhetorical Analysis: Smoking Millions of people around the world smoke tobacco but not everyone knows the aftermath and effects of smoking. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Tobacco Free Florida have put out commercials and ads on television to warn people about the risks and hidden tactics tobacco companies are using to persuade buyers. These commercials expose the darker sides of smoking rather than the cool factor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Tobacco Free Florida’s goals are to raise awareness of the dangerous outcomes of smoking. One dangerous outcome of smoking is a stoma.
Smoking in public places also endangers people who have respiratory ailments (ground). Recent studies show that almost (qualifier) 80% of those who ingest secondhand smoke from public smokers have a higher risk of getting respiratory problems than smokers themselves (data). Banning an act that causes problems to innocent civilians is helpful in many ways (warrant). If smoking in public places is banned, we actually reduce or totally eradicate the danger of putting non-smokers at risk of developing lung and heart problems (backing statement). Moreover, if we ban smoking in public places, we also stop the smokers from further increasing their chances of acquiring health problems for themselves (backing statement).
8/21/2014 Diagnostic Assignment Is smoking really all that bad for adolescents? Some say that it does not affect the teenagers because they will stop before they are 20, however, that is not the case. Once you start smoking it is almost impossible to stop and you have already infested your lungs with the puffs of smoke. The moment the tobacco enters your lungs you are putting your health in danger. Lung cancer, bronchitis, and heart diseases are all effects of smoking tobacco.
It related two things, how harmful and deadly smoking is and how terrible the terrorist attack was on the Twin Towers. I do believe that this ad along with other ads do help people to quit smoking. Everyone is touched by different things in different ways at different times in their lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, the percentage of adults that smoke has declined 3% from 2005 to 2013. As for the terrorists, I do not think that this ad will affect them in any way.
Motivation, learners must want to demonstrate what they have learned. The addictive behavior in this passage was smoking and two more treatment strategies were also exhibited for substance misuse. The first study that I examined was conducted by Unger. The purpose of his study was to justify if culture affected smoking among adolescent. During the experiment, the researchers surveyed just over 5,000 Californian students with a mean age of thirteen to determine a correlation between collectivist culture, such as Asian American and Hispanic cultures and the individualistic culture, such as European American culture.
Hypnosis and Smoking Cessation The act of smoking cigarette is not only a key preventable risk factor of diseases, but a significant cause of undue mortality. Smoking is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, vascular disease, cancer and death of smokers. A large percentage of people who engage in smoking habits are conscious of the risks that the habit poses their lives, and only a small number of current smokers are reluctant to stop the act; however, majority of smokers may not be successful in their attempt to cease smoking on their own. Although, hypnotherapy is a plausible option for smoking cessation, most research findings based on hypnotherapy as a way of ceasing to smoke, have been inconsistent on its randomization.
Lori E. Miller English 102-47 Mrs. Vanderzell February 26, 2012 The Electronic Cigarette: Cure or New Form of Addiction We live in a world of advertisement and deceptive media that makes products appear to be healthier and more effective than they really may be. Advertiser’s associate products with qualities unrelated to the actual product like sexiness, success or status. For years the tobacco industry has sold us cigarettes by associating them with qualities like manliness and sophistication despite the emerging evidence that cigarettes are extremely harmful to our health and a major cause of cancer..
