Informative Speech On Dee Hunt

When someone close to me developed lung cancer,I began to think differently about smoking. A friend of mine,Charlotte Delbo,smoked cigarettes,she developed lung cancer from smoking them.Now,whenever I see smokers,I feel scared for them I saw Charlotte suffer so much. Charlotte was a brave women. During World War II In France,she fought against the Nazis. But she was eventually caught,she was sent to a concentration camp as a political prisoner.The conditions in the camps were horrific,she survived .After the liberation,Charlotte smoked cigarettes. In the early 1980s,her doctors told her that she had lung cancer,they said they could not cure her because she was already too sick. Charlotte survived the Nazis,she could not survive the long term

Smoking should be banned in Australia. Smoking is a disgusting habit that many Australians use every single day. The impact of banning smoking altogether in Australia would be a massive favour for everyone. Australian adults who smoke everyday and Australian Secondary Students from the age 12 to 17 smoke over 22 billion cigarettes per year and effecting other people to start smoking because they think it’s a cool way to get attention. But I think that banning it in almost all public places is a great idea but I raise this question to you, “Why not just Ban Smoking?” This question was raised in a ‘The Age’ article in 2013. The main point of the article is, smoking is banned in pretty much all public places and there are often neighbours writing to the council complaining about a smoking neighbour, so why not just ban it altogether?

Every year, there are over 400,000 smoking-related deaths in the United States. A large percentage of these are due to lung cancer, whose leading cause is smoking. However, not all deaths are smokers themselves. Anyone in the vicinity can fall victim to second hand smoke. These people, through no action of their own, can have their lives threatened.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant or to the bowling alley and come home smelling like cigarette smoke? And while you were there, some people are sitting there smoking by you and you can’t stand the smell of it. So you go out side and to get some fresh air and what do you know there’s some more people lighting it up and smoking but they are polite enough to go outside. Doesn’t this annoy you, that you can barely go anywhere without people smoking in your presence. This leads us to the question, Should smoking in public areas be allowed? Smoking in public areas is something that could definitely be dealt without. The things I will cover with you are the effects of smoking, the effects of

A hand extends from outside the scene and holding a lit lighter out to her. As the camera pans out a teenage boy is holding out the lighter and she looks up at him with a look of utter shock, confusion, and what could be described as shame (see fig. 1). The ad ends with “Children of smokers are almost twice as likely to become smokers” (ClearWay Minnesota). It then returns to the mother and son as the two sits in silence on the front step. In this way, Clearway presents to us this narration of a family struggling with tobacco use.

Growing up, I can remember my mother’s ongoing disappointment and frustration with my grandmother’s smoking addiction. She continuously begged her mother to quit smoking, but unfortunately, her words never had much of an impact other than my grandmother trying not to smoke around her or moving outside the house to smoke. With my grandmother aging, her smoking has not decreased and with other compounding health issues, my mom is not just frustrated but also extremely saddened by the state of my

Tobacco use and the effects of second hand smoke have been an ongoing issue for many years. Looking at the attitude of the 1950’s and 1960’s when smoking was thought of as cool, suave, mature, etc., there has been a major turnaround in the way society looks at the use of tobacco. Now the issue is not just smoking and the damage to health that it causes, but now there is the additional awareness of what second hand smoke can do to individuals.

Consequences also reach people nonsmokers who are exposed to smoke even involuntarily. Unfortunately, more than 126 million of Americans who don’t smoke are still exposed to the harmful effects of tobacco, whether in their homes by a family member who smokes, or on the streets and in public places by strangers who smoke (CDC, 2007). And the result of this exposure, can be seen in the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) who reports that more than 600,000 million of deaths are a result of passive smoking, and in 2004, 28% of the children deaths were consequence of second-hand smoke in 2004 (WHO, 2014).

From a social context, I have been fortunate to have non-smoking family members my entire life. Additionally, I have not been heavily exposed to second-hand smoke due to the bans and bylaws put in place in my province (Ontario). However, many older generation smokers did not learn about the dangers of smoking until much later. By then, these individuals were already addicted to smoking, making quitting all the more difficult.

Air It Out is a tobacco intervention program specifically designed to promote smoking cessation and smoking prevention among adolescents aged 11 to 18 regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or place of residence within the U.S. (e.g. suburban, urban, inner city, etc.). Until recently, speaking out against smoking carried zero authority given smoking was a personal habit that began in adolescence, a habit that continued until December 2015 when diagnosed with cancer. Now with two rounds of chemotherapy behind me and another scheduled for later this month, the issue of adolescent smoking is one, which I can now stand behind. Unfortunately, it takes the manifestation of a tragic and core-shattering experience to forever changes one’s perception because once it becomes personal, we transform from silent participant to that of an activist. Examples supporting this hypothesis include Christopher Reeve’s who became an activist for paralysis only after suffering his injury, Michael J. Fox, who after his diagnosis became an advocate for Parkinson’s, and Elizabeth Taylor, who became a fearless activist for AIDS after the death of her beloved friend Rock Hudson.

I shadowed a Healthcare Assistant at a GP surgery in Wembley in his morning clinic learning how the amount of carbon monoxide measured in the body along with the number of times a person smoked a day determined the treatment they were given. Immediately I witnessed how the Healthcare Assistant took heart to one the patients who came into the clinic. His tone changed towards this patient as she was smoking at such a young age. Evidentially he knew that smoking was no choice of hers but due to the circumstances of coming from an Eastern European country.

Have you ever broken a bone? I’m Elizabeth Hunt and I’m going to tell you a little about myself. To begin my family consists of my mom Shelley, my dad Jim, my brother Nathaniel, and my dog Emmy. When I was one year old I fractured my shin. I had a small pink cast and my parents had a hard time keeping me off my feet. I’m now 12 years old and still live in Wichita, Kansas. I have lived in the same house my entire life. Now it is time to learn a little more about me.

When people grow up in a smoking household, they are exposed to secondhand smoke (WHO, 2016). Secondhand smoke can also affect health outside of the home, as over 90 percent of the world’s population does not have full coverage on smoke-free public health actions. Second hand smoke exposure affects a third of the world and is most common in households, contributing to pulmonary complications and over half a million deaths yearly (WHO, 2016). Most children do not have a choice of growing up in a household that is smoke-free, especially when their parents have been smoking before they were born. The long term exposure of living in a poor quality smoking household impacts an individual’s health, without them having any other housing option.

Betty, a 54-year-old woman who has been smoking two and a half packs a day since age thirteen, is admitted to the hospital for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Betty has been admitted seven times in the past three years that she has been affiliated with the hospital. Dr. Smith completes a full pulmonary work-up, and diagnoses her with end stage COPD, but the real reason for her admission is her deadly smoking habit. According to the Surgeon General’s 31st Tobacco Related Report, “Everyday, more than 1,000 people in this country die due to smoking. For each of those deaths, at least two youth or young adults become regular smokers each day. Almost 90% of those replacement smokers smoke that first cigarette by age 18” (Benjamin,

Thank you so much for confirming the critical thinking used to complete this assignment. I will use the prescription format to include dispensing instructions. To improve the education section, I have included the education for 2nd and 3rd hand smoke exposure for both Mary and Marykate. According to Zhang et al. (2014), household rules should be made to include smoking cessation programs, eliminating indoor smoking, avoiding contact with others while smoking, cleaning residual smoke from material, and using air conditioning, filter products, and open windows to create a smoke free environment. The education plan for smoking is a key component for both Mary and MaryKate. The point about routine follow up and catching missing elements is well
