On August 22, 2016, Washington State University became a tobacco and nicotine free campus. The reason for this new change is the university wants to “focus on the promotion of tobacco and nicotine cessation programs form students, faculty, and staff” (EHS). When the new policy became in effect the Environment Health and safety came out with two documents. One document, EHS Announcement, gave an announcement about the new law that is enforced on campus now. In the other document, SPPM 6.10, goes into depth about the change on campus. Each piece is informative and share similar characterizes. Both documents have the same author, Environmental Health, and Safety. In both the documents the indented readers of people of Washington State …show more content…
This change maybe takes an emotional toll on some people so by putting the health and wellness centers website on their it integrates pathos into the text. This appeal could be strengthening by adding some sort of statement from the wellness center stating that they are they to help you with the change or some thong across those lines. It could bring out that emotional appeal and grab the reader’s attention even more. Logos could be integrated into this text by giving factual information about this change. Something along the lines of how many people are affected by this change or maybe a chart that shows the improvement to our campus by having this change.
The SPPM 6.10 is a manual of the new change. It doesn’t go into detail about the history of the change rather than breaking down the terms and what it means. The text defines terms like public place and place of employment. A public place is defined as “means that portion of any WSU owned, leased, or rented building or vehicle, and includes a minimum distance of 25 feet from Entrances, Exits, Windows that open, and Ventilation intakes that serve an enclosed area where smoking is prohibited (SPPM 6.10 manual).” By defining the terms, it helps the reader understand more about the change and it will help them later on. With this text, the reader isn’t supposed to respond or act on the information given unless it relates to them in a way. A non-smoker needs to
“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.
Bonnie Green, Chief Estimator, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she pointed out that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements with New York City were to expire on October 30, 2004. Past experience and current construction activity in the surrounding area indicated that any union tradesman would support a strike against the city. Since this is a public project, she estimates that there is a 50% chance that they would strike this project to gain the attention of the national media.
It used to be commonplace to smoke in a hospital room and now due to the changes in the laws, smoking is not even allowed on the campus of a hospital. Many if not all large buildings including government buildings ban smoking in and around
Paragraph 17 prohibits smoking on campus and in University owned vehicles. Paragraph 18 appears to be written to prohibit smoking in uniform, however it allows for smoking in designated areas. DPS policy does not define what those designated areas are, so we are left to defer to University policy (included in this case file). University policy does not designate areas for smoking, it only prohibits smoking “on any University property”. University policy defines property as:
The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true
It was in 1964 that the Surgeon General of the United States first published a report on the ill-effects of smoking cigarettes, and within a year the first law requiring health warnings on cigarette packages was in effect. From that point, the government has slowly, but continually, imposed more and more restrictions on the use of tobacco products. Throughout the 1960s, 70's, 80's, and 90's, the both individual jurisdictions within the State of California, as well as the entire state, continued to impose tougher and tougher restrictions on smoking cigarettes until 1994, when California became the first state in the union to pass a law which completely prohibited smoking in most enclosed workplaces. ("Secondhand Smoke Exposure") This law, which took effect in 1998, restricted smoking in all enclosed places of employment including offices, factories, bars and restaurants. But by the early 21st century, the current restrictions were not enough for California's lawmakers and a push was started to ban smoking in all public places. Since the passage of these restrictions in the 1990's, there has been a great deal of change in the state with advocates of the smoking ban pointing to the increased health benefits for the citizens of the state, while opponents focus on the economic damaged in the business community caused by the restrictions. It is therefore necessary to examine the State of California and its ban on smoking and how it has
Sally Dingo the author of Ernie Dingo the King of the Kids, positions us as we read through the book for us to feel almost we had known him all through his life, and that we are like mates toward him. we may feel sympathy for one of their beloved family member dies or admiration for Ernie’s sporting talents in basketball, he was usually called ‘show pony’.
During the Cold War, the United States increasingly felt the need to protect the Western hemisphere from the supposedly evil Soviet sphere of influence. The conflicting ideologies between the capitalist United States and the socialist Soviet Union served as a reason for the United States to intervene in Chilean politics. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States CIA moved and coordinated campaigns against the spread of communism. Following Domino Theory, where a falling domino causes an entire row of dominoes to fall, the general belief was that if one country fell to communism, the neighboring countries surrounding it would also adopt a communist ideology. Fearful of a Marxist regime, the CIA sought to keep the popular Salvador Allende
In part because of this overwhelming evidence the department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is in the final stages of implementing a smoking policy. This proposed rule would require each public housing agency (PHA) to implement a smoke-free policy. “Specifically, this rule proposes that no later than 18 months from the effective date of the final rule, each PHA must implement a smoke-free policy for all public housing indoor areas. The policy must also extend to all outdoor areas up to 25 feet from the housing and administrative office buildings. HUD proposes implementation of smoke-free public housing to improve indoor air quality in the housing, benefit the health of public housing residents and PHA staff, reduce the risk of catastrophic fires, and lower overall maintenance costs.
On August 25, 2015, Southern announce a tobacco-free environment on campus, which means that smoking or tobacco use is forbidden in all facilities and outdoor areas of campus (include sidewalks, parking lots, and entrance and exit ways). The goal of the program is to promote a clean and healthy environment for all students, employees, and visitors. The program objectives are (a) to decrease smoking rates, (b) to protect the SCSU community from unwanted and involuntary exposure to tobacco and secondhand smoke, (c) to reduce campus litter, and (d) to prepare students for careers in tobacco-free work environments (“Tobacco-Free Policy,” n.d.; Rosenthal, 2016).
Since the US Surgeon General’s report on the dangers of Tobacco in 1964, Americans have gradually learned about the dangers of tobacco use, and the number of Americans who smoke is steadily decreasing. There are many forms of tobacco use, and numerous ways for someone to die from using tobacco. Even for those individuals who have never smoked, just being around secondhand smoke significantly increases one’s risk for a multitude health issues. Slowly, but surely, businesses, cities, and states are starting to protect themselves from the dangers of secondhand smoke. Policies are being implemented to create smoke-free environments, which need to later be evaluated to confirm their effectiveness.
In today’s environment many suffer illnesses from pollution, and second hand smoke, and they seek for cleaner air. About five years ago, the health department was successful in banning smoking in public places and smokers needed to go outside unless companies set-up a designated area for smoking. Now, in Pierce County, smoking is banned in all public places such as restaurants, bars, casinos, hotels and taverns. This has caused an up roar with the business owners losing customers and money because of this ban. Within the health department satisfaction is in the environment because the workers will finally have working conditions that has clean air.
