Effects of Tobacco Use

There is presently much controversy regarding tobacco consumption and the effect that it has on first hand smokers and on the world as a whole. While millions of people from around the world are smokers and while the masses are generally familiar with the effects that tobacco has on society, people continue to accept smoking as one of the principal vices that society has to deal with. It is certainly worrying that people are presented with the harmful effects of smoking at a young age and that many come to ignore these effects later in their lives. Addiction and society's pressures influence individuals in expressing little to no interest in their wellbeing and in the wellbeing of individuals around them.

It is demonstrated that smoking cigarettes cause lots of health problems not just for those who smoke them, but also for secondhand smokers. To illustrate1, the three main problems that the tobacco causes are heart disease, cancer, and problems for new-borns. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) one from each three person in the world are smokers -that is 1.300 millions of people. And according to the World Health Organization, 6 millions of people die every year, from where 600,000 are not smokers who just are near people who is smoking. For that reason, the production and sale of cigarettes should be banned.

According to the existing statistics, the greatest proportion of the world’s population does not smoke tobacco. As noted in the United States of America, only one out of four adults smoke. Tobacco product use can be grouped as one of the social problems that has brought detrimental social problems from all walks of life It has also been established that that most people start smoking at the age between 12 and 14 (Eaton, 2003). Despite being of great economic importance, tobacco has brought about much more harm than good. In fact, those who smoke have their life span shortened by about approximately. Tobacco products should be banned from the use by the general public because it has resulted in many social issues, which include; incurable diseases which result in deaths, behavior change among the youths and also

They be found in almost any store, right behind the register after a grocery list has been completed. Tobacco products are multi-billion dollar industries that thrive on the addiction of its’ consumers. Although individuals have the right to use tobacco products, the United states should ban the production, marketing, and sales because the marketing is geared towards teens and young adults, the health issues contributed to the use of tobacco are overwhelming, they’re highly addictive, and the effects of second-hand smoke is as harmful as smoking itself.

Cigarette smoking remains the chief cause of none communicable disease and death in the United States. Each year, cigarette smoking is responsible for an estimated 480 million deaths and more than 8 million smoking-related illnesses (CDC, 2014). It is accountable for total costs nearing 170 billion dollars in direct medical expense and work lost productivity (2014). Although it is true that smoking adversely affects health, there are more than 4 million adults reported as active smokers. In many cases, nicotine addiction began in their adolescent years. The Center for Disease Control has estimated a prevention of 1 million deaths per year and 2 million due to tobacco control and programs shifting the leading cause of death or prevalence onto the youth (quote). Despite the benefits of tobacco control policies such as the excise tax, the nicotine epidemic among adolescents continues to proliferate. The moderately cigarette excise tax increases, increasing tax rate the debate remains as to which prevention policy supports a reduction in tobacco use and exposure. This trend is alarming both at an individual level and at the societal level. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the tobacco use 2000-2004 resulted in 60,000 total reported cases and 123 related fatalities (2.2 per 1,000 cases). This outbreak was a lack of smoking control access in an underserved population with 88% of deaths occurring in individuals who had a history of smoking. In 2008, the CDC

Just because something may make someone feel good it does not mean that it is good for them. Like many people say too much of anything is bad for you. Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are by no chance an exception. They are honestly quite the opposite considering how many negative effects they cause people each year. Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco after being abused will lead to an unhealthy life that will keep people from enjoying life since they are at higher risk of many diseases that may or may not be fatal. Alcohol is used by many people and has become an important part of life throughout the whole world.

Tobacco use, especially cigarette smoking, continues to remain a leading preventable cause of death in the United States (U.S.). When compared to other age groups, young adults (between ages 18–29 year old) tend to show the highest admiration for cigarette smoking.

Cigarette smoking causes about one of every five deaths in the United States each year (CDC 1). Tobacco has been in America’s society for hundreds of years but has become a major problem in the 21st century because of the harsh problems it carries. Tobacco use is starting to affect everyone. Every day, large amounts of Americas youth are being introduced to cigarettes and other tobacco related products. The number of teen smokers is rising and even non-smokers are now being affected. Steps need to be taken in order to reduce and ultimately eliminate tobacco use in America. Smoking is being introduced to large amounts of youth every day and needs to be put to an end to stop this killing trend.

Cigarette smoking is a serious global health problem and continues to be a major health hazard. It is a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Tobacco smoking is one of the largest preventable causes of premature deaths globally1. In 2010, an estimated 120 million Indian adults were smokers, making India second only to China in terms of number of smokers2,3.

With more people dying from tobacco related illnesses than any other source, smoking and tobacco use is the single largest source of preventable deaths in the world. There have been many attempts at controlling smoking in America which not only harms the user but also the people around them. None of the attempts have succeeded fully so far. This essay will show why by providing evidence and history about smoking and tobacco use and analyzing current actions or rather inactions addressing this problem; this essay will explain the nature of this tobacco epidemic, and examining the steps needed to further resolve this problem.

My purpose for writing this paper is to educate the reader of the harms and effects done onto a person from smoking Tobacco and persuade anyone thinking about or attempting to smoke Tobacco to consider the following for your own benefit. I will cover most harmful effects Tobacco has on not only the person using it but also the people around them. I will also show both sides of the argument with both the pros and the cons of smoking Tobacco as well as provide an argument for why Tobacco is bad for you and should be a banned substance like many other already illegal drugs.

Every year, cigarette smoking kills more than 480,000 Americans, with more than 41,000 of these deaths from exposure to secondhand smoke1. With the United States constantly passing new laws to protect us, you would imagine that with this huge statistic, banning cigarette sales and distribution would be a main priority. Not only is the person smoking harming themselves, but people are also getting cancer from second hand smoke when they’ve never picked up a cigarette in their lives. The production and sale of cigarettes should be made illegal because it is the deadliest addiction and tobacco companies are targeting the youth to carry on their careers longer.

Smoking tobacco has been practiced for years. People worldwide view smoking as a lifestyle and smoked for pleasure and relaxation. During the 19th century it was considered fashionable to be seen taking a puff from a cigarette. At that time, the world was blind to the negative effects of smoking tobacco. However, during the 20th century, scientific research began and The American Cancer Society began to emphasize the health risks of smoking cigarettes. By 1964 a Surgeon’s General warning was seen on every pack of cigarettes across the U.S. linking smoking to lung cancer. Even with the astounding evidence of the health effects, cigarette smoking continues to claim the lives of thousands of Americans each year. Cigarette smoking causes permanent damage for not only the smoker, but the non smoker and environment as well. If the U.S. government were to ban cigarette smoking all together, there will be a positive change in the well-being of Americans everywhere.

One of the hardest things in life is saying goodbye to the ones you love for the very last time. Smoking is a life-threatening addiction that has brought this tragedy to millions of families at an accelerated pace and not all have been those who do smoke. No one wants to have to deal with tragedy, but nowadays there may be no way to avoid it. Unless, that is, our government intervenes, and puts something into place to end the threat of Secondhand Smoke exposure. I believe the one thing that can be done to avoid this exposure, leading to the unwanted tragedy, is a nationwide public smoking ban. Everyone says that Smoking or not is your choice. While that is true, the effects that come of it are not. When a person smokes everyone around them is exposed. Smokers may be okay with taking a chance of dying over it, but are others willing to allow their Husband, wife, son, Daughter, or other family members to die over it as well?

Is cigarette smoke affecting the environment? Do people have problems from the smokers? Does cigarette smoking affect the public places?
