The American people should be against nonsmoking because of the feelings you get when smoking, the chemicals that are involved, and how the cigarette will kill like a loaded gun.

Smoking tobacco is probably one of the worst habits humankind has developed. Originating as a tradition of the Native Americans, practiced mostly on special occasions, smoking has gradually become a kind of mass addiction. Due to the efforts of tobacco companies seeking to increase their sales, people started smoking more and more often; the evolution of a more traditional pipe to a cigarette took some time, but eventually tobacco became more affordable and easier to use (you now simply need to light it up, instead of having to always carry a tobacco pouch, stuff a pipe, puff it, and so on). As a result, deaths and health issues connected to tobacco consumption became a worldwide

Each year, smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths. It causes lungs and coronary heart disease, which are among the leading causes of death in our country. The majority of lifelong smokers begins smoking before the age of 24 making the college years a critical time for students to pick up this habit. Hence, smoking on college campuses is an important public health issue and there has been an increase in campus-wide smoking bans to reduce the rates of students smoking. According to ‘Americans for Nonsmokers Rights’, over 1,000 universities in the United States have adopted a 100 percent smoke-free policy but our University is yet to adopt this policy.

Around 80,000 to 100,000 children worldwide start smoking every day, and almost half of those children live in Asia. It's estimated that nearly 4.5 million United States youth are smokers, and if this current pattern persists, about 6.4 tobacco-using children will die prematurely from a smoking-related disease. From those 80,000 to 100,000 children about 50% of them will continue smoking for another decade or two. These kids help make up the 90% of smokers that started before age 21. The youth that has and will start smoking will have a harder time quitting, just as long-time smokers.

Have you ever been sitting at the bar or walking down the street and there is some wanker failing to blow vapour rings in your face? You start to wonder, why did this never happen when everyone smoked cigarettes.

In many cases, there are smokers who decide to stop smoking and change their lives for the better. An example is David Sturges, who is an attorney and lung cancer survivor. In 2002 David had been diagnosed with a small, malignant tumor in the lower lobe of his right lung-lung cancer. David was fortunate enough to undergo surgery and through his hard journey of recovery survived. Throughout his journey, David recognized that lung cancer is a branch of cancer research and is now traveling the world informing schools, organizations about the suffering f of lung cancer. He travels to schools, conferences, and workshops talking about how smoking challenged his life and raises funds for development in lung cancer research. This is just how one life changing surgery can help one man influence many. (Lung Cancer Foundation of America, 2016)

"Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I have done it thousands of times," said Samuel Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain. Mark Twain spoke these words nearly 150 years ago. Unfortunately for Mark Twain, there weren't very many options available back then when it came to quitting tobacco. This quote, humorous in some sense, unfortunately, describes the lives of many smokers today. Luckily for smokers today, there are many options available to help smokers quit smoking with the most popular option becoming the use of vaporizers. Vaporizers and e-cigarettes are devices containing a nicotine-based liquid that is vaporized and inhaled. They are used to simulate the experience of smoking tobacco. Vaporizers and e-cigarettes are a better alternative to smoking tobacco because vaping is healthier than smoking tobacco, cleaner for the environment, and helps people quit using tobacco despite many people who argue that vaping is a public health concern, doesn't end nicotine addiction, and is a danger to minors because more kids and teenagers are becoming addicted to nicotine via vapor products due to vapor companies targeting them.

Smoking has a large impact amongst citizens in the United States, with a little less than 20% of the population smoking. Smoking, in the United States, is the number one cause of easily preventable deaths. Seeing these alarming deaths people decided they would make scary and startling advertisements to get the point across. These ads were taking people's breath away, they were seeing the effects of smoking in a light they hadn’t previously thought about. The ad I chose to analyse has a man holding a cigarette between his middle and index finger while an above light source illuminates the shape of a gun behind the cigarette, and if you look close you can see that the man's index finger is holding the trigger of said gun to further the statement being made. This image uses the three modes of persuasion to caution viewers to not begin or continue smoking.

In modern American society, many Americans still use various means to smoke, from cigarettes, e-cigarettes, to Vape. Where Americans have been smoking cigarettes ever since tobacco was created, which is not necessarily a positive thing. Since smoking not only prematurely damages internal organs, but causes premature death. Consequently, this has not prevented Americans from smoking, as many people still do, despite the dangerous facts they know about them. In fact, smoking cigarettes has been a popular pastime ever since it was first being cultivated, and has not stopped since then. In which cigarettes is an American phenomenon that Americans and others are still willing to purchase and use these products, whether it be regular or e-cigarettes. Where smoking is killing many Americans, which is not stopping anytime soon, even though the amount of smokers has decreased over time.

Ludington, “Cigarette smoke is the most dangerous of the toxic elements in our environment. Smoking is responsible for almost 500 000 deaths each year in the United States” (1). For the reason that many citizens are not well informed with the effects of smoking, the United States has a high death rate per year.

In today's world, it is easy for non-smokers to come into close corners with someone who smokes. Through second-hand smoking, people make a knowing choice not to smoke are sometimes forced to inhale the smoke coming from a tobacco users product. In the 21st century, second hand smoking is something that is finally starting to receive the attention it deserves. While there are few studies that exist to show statistical analysis of second-hand smoking (in part due to the lax consideration of it in generations prior), Americans are now wising up and beginning to crack down on banning smoking in their facilities. However, Drexel University seems to be behind the pack in implementing new policies designed to protect non-smokers. For the most part, the University continue to allow students crowd their building entranceways to get a smoke in between classes. Because the students tend to crowd around the doors, students entering or exiting the building will often unwillingly inhale the smoke. It is not fair for those who make a conscious decision to not smoke have to incur any of the consequences that are associated with ones who make that choice. With college campuses are where students spend the majority of their day, avoiding contact with it is almost impossible. According to the United States Department of Health, second-hand smoke has much higher levels of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide than the direct smoke a smoker inhales.
