Pros And Cons Of Wellbeing

Smoking is an activity that has been around for many years for people to use and adapt into their lifestyle. It is a tool that many people use to help reduce the stresses of life and put them in a comfortable position that enables them to cope with the hectic lifestyle they are living. However, smoking has been scientifically proven to cause many types of cancer, the most common being lung cancer resulting in numerous deaths across the United States. According to BBC, "Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease" (BBC, 2). Evidently, the benefits and drawbacks of smoking have been debated for many years, and only recently have some countries have placed a ban in public places such as Britain and the United

All levels of government battle the lines of providing for the good of the community vs. the population. Here we will discuss the community. This is brought to light in Taiwo A. Oriola’s paper titled “Ethical and Legal Analysis of Policy Prohibiting Tobacco

Tobacco has and still is the most important public health issue faced in Australia and internationally. (Jochelson, 2006). Many countries such as North America, England, Australia, Canada and Ireland have introduced policies regarding smoking in public areas and restriction of smoking in indoor areas. (Thomson, Wilson & Edwards, 2009). The government, community leaders and policy makers work towards introducing policies that will stop consumers from smoking in public areas. (Pizacani, maher, Rohde, Drach & Stark, 2012). Government intervention should extend public smoking bans so that second hand smokers can be safe, a better environment and less death incidents relating to smoking.

Those two requirements to legitimate forbidding usage of Tobacco are met here; first, the government is aware of the bad effects of tobacco, especially in the prisons, as the inmates use it inside the prisons by extracting the tobacco from the mixture and using it for non-religious purposes and that leads to security and order issues for inmates inside prisons, “a prison's interest in order and security is always compelling.” Fowler v. Crawford, 534 F.3d 931, 939 (8th Cir.2008). In addition, tobacco causes harm for both, smokers inside the prisons and for those who are being effected by second hand smoking. Therefore the government has a huge interest to forbid using of tobacco inside the prisons.

Federal Restrictions and Guidelines in Smoking and Politics by A. Lee Frischlet and James M. Hoelfer

The use of tobacco is a very controversial topic here in the United States. The harmful side effects of tobacco are well known and consequently, many believe that it should be outlawed. Though this has not yet occurred, constant regulations on the industry and

In the past few years, the bans on smoking cigarettes in public areas has become a huge controversy in America as bans on smoking have become more strict nationwide. In an editorial featured in the New York Times by Sue Ogrocki titled They’re Coming For Your Cigarettes. But That’s O.K., Ogrocki argues why bans on smoking cigarettes in one’s own home is necessary and beneficial for everyone else. Her editorial is in support for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, whom is pushing to ban cigarette smoking in an estimated one million public housing units across America, including townhouses and apartments. Ogrocki’s argument contained many flaws, as she failed to provide facts and statistics to support her statements, and was too general

Consumption of Tobacco is a worldwide phenomenon. Nearly every country is planning to raise more restrictions around the consumption of Tobacco. The awareness about its ill effects is rising through the corridors of Parliaments of many countries with the help of governmental and non-governmental organizations. There are some internationally recognized organizations like the “World Lung Foundations” that are striving hard to reduce the consumption of tobacco to a bare minimum. There are numerous reasons that support the argument that tobacco should be completely banned from the United Sates.

Tobacco has existed for long as we have known about history, but due to the negative effects of it to the broader community Tobacco has sparked greater controversy across the globe. Many people argue that it is the government’s responsibility to protect the individual but on the contrary some disagree and believe it’s up to the individual. This essay will elaborate above mentioned aspects and lead to a logical conclusion.

The author in the article Good Anthropological Reasons for Unsettling the Public Health Grip stated that the banning of smoking in public place has decline immensely (Dennis, 2013). Smoking is a personal choice but the non smoker has a choice to rather to inhale second hand smoke.

Tobacco is one of the world's dangerous drug which is haunting human lives to death. Over a billion adults are addicted to this drug and wasting their money, time and health. Nowadays there has been an ongoing debate/discussion among many people about the role of government in restricting the usage of Tobacco and thereby safeguarding the health of the public. In my personal opinion, both government and the Individual together needs to work to overcome this problem.

Discrimination is unlawful and occurs when people are unfairly because of the person’s sex, marital status, age, pregnancy, sexuality, disability and/or race and happens in workplaces, schools, advertising, clubs and associations, presentation of qualifications and or disposal of land. Discrimination includes sexual harassment and victimisation. (Women’s and Children's Health Network (WCHN), 2014) Well-being is the term given to cover the general happiness and health of a person and can extend to groups of people such as a family or community. Families are no longer one structure; instead there are various types of families. These are nuclear, two married adults (mostly male and female) with children, de facto (two adults living together but not married and may have children), adoptive (a child is legally adopted by adults to be part of a family but usually are not biologically related), blended, (two adults with their own children marrying and combining both families), childless (two adults without children, usually married, may be a transition into having children or children have moved out), communal (family types living together, sharing resources, caring for each other’s needs and wellbeing, members don’t have to be related), extended

However our concern here is not only about the cigarette as a product but with the ethics of cigarettes as well, that affect the social process of marketing. This is because marketing process makes things worse and is also considered as unethical, and as a result has a significant negative impact on the societal welfare. Multinational tobacco companies apply sophisticated strategies ( such as putting flavor in the cigarettes and placing cigarettes in the shops near the sweets to make them more appealing) and invest huge amounts of money for marketing, in order to establish brand familiarity and future loyalty among young peoplem, to secure profits in the long run. 'The tobacco epidemic is a man-made international health crisis, created and sustained by multinational tobacco corporations.' (Yach, Brinchmann, Bellet page 2).

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.
