In regards to the french fry cigarette artifact, the exigency exist as an implication of the dangers of fast food and how the issue with obesity has become an epidemic in our country.

The constraints can be identified as peoples personal beliefs and lack of evidence presented by the image itself.
It has become common knowledge that smoking is bad for people’s health, nonetheless people continue to smoke. To be honest, that is fine. If people want to endanger themselves by smoking then I wish them a swift and peaceful end (though most smokers die a slow and agonizing death). What is not acceptable is the effect that smoke has on non-smokers who have almost no way of getting away from smoke unless they want to stay in their house. Smokers affect everyone around them for the worse. Smoking should be restricted or banned from all public places because the health of non-smokers should not be jeopardized by secondhand smoke.

To understand the current culture of smoking at Wilkes University, research about smoking among college students was analyzed, a survey was given to the University body, and a national smoke-free day was held to promote a wave of change towards a smoke-free campus culture. During the Fall 2015 semester, the well-being of Wilkes University was improved with the establishment of a smoking policy. The health problems associated with smoking are reasons why establishing policies on college campuses are necessary.It is no secret that smoking tobacco can harm nearly every organ in the body.

Smoking is the number one preventable risk and cause of disease and death. Tobacco kills more people than car crashes, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and alcohol, drugs, suicides and murders combined, and effects smokers and nonsmokers alike. A nonsmoker on average lives 13 to 14 years longer than a smoker does. Although we have made strides in reducing the prevalence of smoking in the country, it is still an important problem that continues to cause morbidity and mortality. Secondhand smoke exposure also affects nonsmokers and causes lung cancer. When children are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, mostly in the predominant location of the home, smoking increases their incidence of asthma, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), ear infections, and respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis.

This PSA from The American Cancer Society about smoking is memorable due to the use of an iconic image of Dr. Spock and the non-offensive albeit very catchy phrases. I like that this is not morbid like so many other advertisements but instead grabs your attention with an iconic picture and sensible advice. Cigarette advertisements are shown in other countries in ways that have been deemed illegal here in the U.S. Tobacco farming used to be subsidized by the government and dictated how much the farmers were allowed to grow keeping supplies low and therefore demand, and prices, high. In 2004 the government stopped subsidizing the farmers, and supplies and prices skyrocketed. Fewer farmers are growing tobacco, but more land is devoted to the growth
5 million people die from smoking annually, along with 600,000 affected by second-hand smoke. Smoking leads to more deaths than guns and texting while driving. Cigarettes main ingredient, tobacco, has over 4,000 chemicals, 51 of them known to cause cancer. When someone begins to smoke most of the time there’s no turning back, as quitting is very difficult. The nicotine in cigarettes forces you to become addicted to smoking and the more you consume, the more you you feel uncomfortable when quitting. This is what makes cigarettes so dangerous. I think cigarettes are the most harmful invention because it slowly kills the user, but most importantly hurts innocent bypassers.
Effective Smoking Cessation Tool or A New Way for Children to be Introduced to Nicotine?
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
