Smoking Cessation Article Review Smoking cessation is a complex process, largely because it represents a convergence of both scientific and highly personal variables. Success in smoking cessation is driven by a wide array of factors. The three articles discussed here offer three distinct dimensions on the subject. The primary objective of the study by Anderson & Keller (2002) is to draw a direct correlation between the transtheoretical model of health behavior and the variables associated with
Health Impact of the Hispanic Community The Hispanic community will represent A third of the United States in the near future, despite this significant growth; this population continues to be viewed as a vulnerable group (Cuevas, Dawson & Williams, 2016).

It’s the opposite of an explicit cost, which is borne directly. 2. Define Normal Profit and explain why it is an implicit cost.
