Effects Of Smoking On The United States

The P.E.R.I.E. process is illustrated in this case by the steps taken to address the issue of smoking rates in adults, being impacted by the rise in adolescent smoking behaviors. The first step of this process is the Problem. In this case, the text indicates, the problem is the growth rate of smoking teens in the 80’s and 90’s (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2015). This in turn, led to an increase in adult smokers. This would raise rates again, after previously lowering them by approximately 50% (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2015). The next step is Etiology. In this step we correlate smoking with cancer and the rise of adult smoking rates with the growth of adolescent smoking rates. This in turn, correlates adolescent cigarette smoking, to the rises in cancer (morbidity), and deaths from cancer (mortality). The case study also states, “…it was also found that nearly 90% of those who smoked started before the age of 18…” (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2015). It was determined through behavior modification (preventing adolescent smoking), the rate of adult smokers would reduce. Thus, recommendations were introduced. The case study reveals, adolescents were targeted in cigarettes advertisements and marketing (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2015). Cigarette availability was also an issue. Implementations of sales and advertisement campaign policies, were altered in reference to miners. The text reveals, once evaluated, strategies to reduce adolescent smoking

Smoking has been a controversial issue in public culture as well in media. When someone smokes, the person lights the tobacco and all the chemicals so they burn. The person breathes in the smoke so it goes through the airways and into the lungs. The nicotine in the smoke get passed into the blood. Throughout the 20 century smoking has garnered too much attention on tv and in people life. Moreover 100 million people died from tobacco related diseases in the 20th century without action taken. Tobacco kills up 50% of its users, even though 1 billion people could die this century from tobacco related diseases. One research conducted by CNN in 1994 showed that 40% of people are in favor for smoking. Yet another research by Anna Heart showed that 70% population are for knowing public smoking. All thing consider smoking has a lot of disadvantages more than advantages and represent death. Personally I’m against smoking for many reasons health, addiction.

Tobacco companies (industry): Tobacco companies claim that they are being portrayed as the villain for pursuing their commercial activity. These companies believe that denormalization campaigns are used for brain-washing that will lead to anti-tobacco legislation and regulation. Tobacco companies would influence decision makers and GPPNs to favour self-regulation over denormalization as an approach.

They turned to adolescents, who are easier to influence than mature adults. “Nearly 90% of adult smokers in the United States began smoking by age 18 years” states the Center for Disease Control in a 2012 study (Basic). This is the basis of organizations such as Truth, who is “about finding and turbo-charging new fun ways to do what no generation has ever done before - end smoking” (Facts). The drive to end tobacco use in the younger population is derived not only from the fact that people are less likely to start smoking the older they become, but also because “one-third of [current youth users] will eventually die from tobacco-related diseases” (Epstein). Tobacco companies attempt to fool younger consumers by creating the fireless cigarette, or the E-cigarette, adding fun flavors such as butter crumble or berry, and making it appear safer because it has no smoke (Facts). It’s working. Between 2011 and 2012, the amount of teenagers using e-cigarettes has “more than doubled” (Health). Similar to the E-cigarette is hookah, another vaporous pastime for young adults, which many people falsely assume to be relatively safe, oblivious to the fact that in one hookah session a person inhales “100 to 200 times as much smoke as from a single cigarette” (Facts). With the decline

The extent to which tobacco advertising contributes to the increase in smoking habits has been debated and still is being debated. The focus is heavily on the degree to which the advertising affects adolescents. Previous research which is explored above, suggests significant relationships between smoking behavior among youth and these advertisements. Tobacco companies on the other hand, have tried to prove their ads are not directed towards our youth. Specifically, the R.J. Reynolds tobacco company has run full page ads in national magazines advising youth to not smoke. They have asserted

Every year, tobacco companies spend billions of dollars on advertising and promotion. Not only that but they are causing deaths of many. They try to get people of all ages to use their product. Unfortunately, this works, after a while this causes many serious issues to the body, their addiction kicks in causing the tobacco business to flourish, and causes young deaths of many kids and adults. Overall tobacco companies are causing deaths by the tobacco use and people need to know the serious topics around this.

Tobacco is one of the world's dangerous drug which is haunting human lives to death. Over a billion adults are addicted to this drug and wasting their money, time and health. Nowadays there has been an ongoing debate/discussion among many people about the role of government in restricting the usage of Tobacco and thereby safeguarding the health of the public. In my personal opinion, both government and the Individual together needs to work to overcome this problem.

Drug abuse, whether alcohol, tobacco, prescription or illicit, continues to burden society, economics, medical care systems, and the family dynamic. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally 185 million people are illicit drug users and an astounding 1.3 billion individuals are smokers.1 Smoking related deaths, estimated at nearly 5 million worldwide, continue to be the leading preventable cause of death. Additionally, in the United States alone, $167 billion in annual health-related economic loss can be attributed to smoking.2 Although there are roughly only 200,000 deaths reported to be directly associated with illicit drug use, the detriment to family and society, and the economic costs associated with crime, law enforcement,

Smoking is established as a recognized cause of cancer, lung disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke(US Public Health Service,1964,Doll R 1976,1994, US Department of Health and Human Services,1989).it is considered to be the single most important avoidable cause of premature morbidity and mortality in the world. WHO has estimated that there are about 1100 million smokers worldwide; this represents about one-third of the global population aged over 15 years (WHO,1997). About 73% of these smokers (700 million males, 100 million females) are in developing countries; in industrialized countries there are 200 million male smokers and 100 million female smokers. In the over 15-year-old population of developing countries, it is estimated that about 48% of males and 7% of females are smokers. The corresponding figures for industrialized countries are 42% for males and 24% for females (WHO,1997).

Nowadays, smoking is more diffuse and widespread than far more and earlier than ever before. Smoking has become a prevalent phenomenon, particular he among adolescents, whereas the younger an individual tries it, the more popular and distinguish he might become.

Advertising for tobacco is another source that cause teenagers smoke and adults smoke. Recently, tobacco companies have found new ways to promote their products to youth. They support their sporting events, concerts and movie. Many people favor idols or stars smoke in the movies and they seems very cool. And Teenagers are curious about imitation. Smoke containing nicotine acts as a stimulant to the brain. Nicotine in the bloodstream acts to make the smoker feel calm. In fact, nicotine is a lethal poison, affecting the heart, blood vessels, and hormones. Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemical compounds. More than 60 of these are known or suspected to cause cancer. What is more, secondhand smoke can be harmful in many ways and it ruins thousands of non-smoking people, children's health. The US Surgeon General and the US Food and Drug Administration are among those who have examined the evidence and concluded that tobacco advertising does increase overall consumption. If we ban adverts on tobacco products, they will gradually lose their appeal, because they won't symbolize anything "cool", "smart" or "amazing". Tobacco products will become ordinary consumption goods and thus the number of young people who take up smoking in order to "be somebody" will decrease.

However our concern here is not only about the cigarette as a product but with the ethics of cigarettes as well, that affect the social process of marketing. This is because marketing process makes things worse and is also considered as unethical, and as a result has a significant negative impact on the societal welfare. Multinational tobacco companies apply sophisticated strategies ( such as putting flavor in the cigarettes and placing cigarettes in the shops near the sweets to make them more appealing) and invest huge amounts of money for marketing, in order to establish brand familiarity and future loyalty among young peoplem, to secure profits in the long run. 'The tobacco epidemic is a man-made international health crisis, created and sustained by multinational tobacco corporations.' (Yach, Brinchmann, Bellet page 2).

Did you know that: More than 5 million children alive today will die prematurely from smoking-related illnesses? Or nearly every adult who smokes (almost 90 percent) took his or her first puff at or before the age of 18? You then ask yourself why? Tobacco advertising is the one to blame for this. Tobacco manufacturers came under attack for having promoted a product with known health risks. This advertising raised many ethical dilemmas for the industry and for those who profit from its sale. Most econometric studies have found that increased expenditure on tobacco advertising increases demand for cigarettes, while banning advertising leads to a reduction in tobacco consumption. A recent meta-analysis of 48 econometric studies found that tobacco advertising significantly increased tobacco sales. Recent reviews by the United States Institute of Medicine, the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organisation reached the same conclusion. The tobacco industry spends more than $12.4 billion per year - over $34.1 million a day - marketing

It is practically evident that most young individuals in the society like exploring. Their curiosity predisposes them to addiction to this deadly habit. Peer pressures influence most people in the community to the practice thus increasing the incidence of both passive and first-hand smoking. The society lacks rules that regulate the practice, first of all, it benefits from it as the companies that manufacture the cigarettes creates both direct and indirect employment. It is difficult for the society to discriminate or even disband the practice since most individuals make a living out of smoking (Hyyppä, 2010). For instance, those employed in the industry as well as shopkeepers who sell the cigarettes and other tobacco ingredients, earn their daily living. The society fails to play its role in educating the youth on the dangers of smoking .the failure by the society to conduct massive education programs on the issues leads to the continuity of the practice. As people continue smoking, the public health problem associated with passive smokers’ increases.

The paper is about the health’s conditions of population and young generation around the world and actions are done by the government and citizens to against smoking in public places. This project will investigate the smokers’ activity and behavior on this changes. Also it includes the opinion and action of second hand smokers, other people on smoking outdoor. Nowadays, a lot of governments take part in smoking ban in public place. However, countries which decide to accept banning of smoking do not get good results and it has increased among the adults, for instance 42.1 million adults in the United States currently smoke cigarettes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, August 25, 2015 ) and One of the good example is that only 19 countries, representing 6% of the world’s population, have reached the highest level of achievement in banning tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. (Action on Smoking and Health (ASH),) These countries stopped only advertising of tobacco. However, it still did not produce the desired results as between 2005-2009, the number of people, aged 35 years and older, who died from cancerous diseases directly related to smoking, were 163,700 in total. (Centers for Disease Control and PreventionAugust 18, 2015) On the other hand, every person has right to do something which he or she wants, it means that government introduce a law of smoking in public place, but the percentage of users do not decrease. Statistics shows that nearly 18 of
