Public Smoking On Drexel Campus

I love nothing more than to stroll around the beautiful campus at State University. The scenery is breathtaking, especially with the promise of autumn about the air. During this particular time of the year, I find great enjoyment in taking a deep breath and inhaling the fragrant aroma of the surrounding nature. However, my enjoyment prematurely ends when the sudden smell of cigarette smoke engulfs me. Sound familiar? If you are a non-smoking student, this scene reflects everyday life on a smoking campus. Something must be done about this infringement upon non-smoker's rights. Is our health so meaningless as to be put at the mercy of carcinogens and toxins? I think not. Though State University provides non-smoking environments within

The community that I will be describing is the city of Long Beach. In this city there are many people of age and ethnicity. This city is very diverse in having many people of different cultures and backgrounds. Downtown Long Beach is where people go to eat, have fun and hang out near the Pike. At the Pike is where you’ll find a lot of young people going to the movies or shopping. In this city it is filled with young adults and they are the majority of the community. A lot of the young adults have jobs and there are some that are going to school. Younger adults are more prone to trying new things which sometimes can lead into a health issue. In this city I will be discussing a main health problem that might be relatable to other cities. The health problem that will be discussed is the use of tobacco products in young adults. Some products are cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, chewing tobacco, and hookah. These products are used daily by young adults in this community.

Secondhand smoke exposure poses serious health threats to children and adults. For residents of multi-unit housing (e.g., apartment buildings and condominiums), secondhand smoke can be a major concern. Smoke can migrate from other units and common areas and travel through doorways, cracks in walls, electrical lines, plumbing, and ventilation systems. Considering all the dangers of smoking, most especially to the vulnerable citizens like seniors citizens and infants. What is We Choose Health? In 2013, the Illinois Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) launched a statewide initiative, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) known as We Chose Health, a community transformation grant (CTG). We choose health initiated eight

Although it was found that people at four year colleges smoked significantly less than those who went to two year colleges or didn’t go to college at all, almost a quarter of the participants at four year universities had smoked within the last thirty days, but only 20% considered themselves smokers. People who attend college seem to shy away from admitting that they are smokers, possibly because of their exposure to people who are more health-conscious that make admitting that they regularly smoke intimidating. Their denial not only causes the number of college students who are smokers that have been found in other studies may be lower than reality, but also contributes to the overall resistance to quitting. If people that smoke do not consider themselves smokers, they are not going to see smoking as something they need to quit. Adding to that, most of the student smokers surveyed f interest in wanting to quit within a year, but significantly less had attempted quitting in his or her lifetime (46%). This data shows that most smokers want to quit but have not actually taken the steps to do so. With cessation programs and other various forms of encouragement, some of these students might be able to quit smoking for good. If policies are to be implemented to encourage students to quit smoking, the policies must be

With regard to smoking within apartments and about the surrounding entry areas to Highland Plaza Apartments in Toms River, NJ. Whereby numerous residents and visitors continue to violate current residential rules in defiance of anti-smoke laws thereby ignoring the safety and health of others with blatant indifference. As residents, we believe that regulations to eliminate the lethal effects, clear dangers, and the incalculable cost on society are never more urgent. Also, we support the efforts of Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, ASH, the new HUD administration, and all organizations in favor of clean air. Our nation cannot be sustained by illusions of well-being, endless consumption, growing addictions, and environmental desecration.

A complete ban of smoking tobacco and related products (e-cigarettes, cigars, and hookah) at campuses and also about 25 feet surrounding the campuses reduced smoking and decreased the effects of second hand smoking significantly among college students.

On August 15th, 2015 Southern Connecticut State University became a Tobacco-free campus. By being tobacco-free, Southern promised that all forms of smoking and tobacco use were “prohibited in all facilities and outdoor areas of campus, without exception.” This should be a major triumph, and great leap forward, for the university’s on-going goal to become as eco-friendly as possible. However, there has not been any noticeable enforcement of this policy, even though it was made very clear that “those who violate the policy may be subject to disciplinary action or may be in violation of state law.” Therefore, although this policy is respectable, it is undoubtedly failing due to it not being enforced on campus.

This will first identify the types of items and components necessary to implement a cessation program. Based on which items receive a greater distribution of those funds, the student can identify which items are prioritized by the ALA and identify how those funds are utilized in the program. After witnessing the planning process, the student will 2) attend the freedom from smoking sessions at all three Hawaii locations to assist the educators in their lessons. This will allow the student to experience the impact managerial decision making has on cessation programming. 3) The student will assist Kim Nguyen with the planning and coordination of the Lung Force Walk held in November. This will identify what actions are required to coordinate a large scale community effort and the importance community cooperation in raising awareness and fundraising for

Three intervention John can use to make the school district “asthma friendly” include providing asthma education, providing environmental pollution safety for school, and promoting collaboration between schools and families about asthma prevention. First, John should start with asthma education to encourage parents of children with asthma to seek health care providers for developing an asthma management plan. Second, he should encourage parents not to smoke inside their homes and school staff should not smoke in school grounds. He should also recommend schools for yearly pest control, banned smoking around the school properties and school bus, and promote a clean air system inside each school by controlling moistures to reduce mold and using fans and/or opening window to help the airflow. Third, he should recommend collaboration between school staff and parents about asthma preventions.

In the past 4 months, I have been walking through the Georgia State University courtyard to get to all my classes. Not once have I seen the courtyard not filled with students smoking tobacco. If the courtyard were to be described, it would be described as a cloud of smoke. Although, Calvin Warner states that the university code of conduct does set a rule stating that students are prohibited to smoke within 25 feet of all GSU buildings, and there are signs all over campus saying “Tobacco Free”, students are smoking right in front of the signs. Why are there tobacco free signs around campus, if the university itself is not? If we are a tobacco free campus, then why is the university not implementing it? Smokers on campus are leading nonsmokers into becoming secondhand smokers, which is as harmful as being the original smoker. Smoker or secondhand smoker, what is being harmed is the person’s health, which is affecting an individual’s ability to live a longer and healthier life. It is absolutely great that the school is referring to itself as a tobacco free campus, but they do not seem to quite understand the meaning of it. It is understandable that there are many barriers to really implement this policy but it is not impossible. As many barriers there maybe, there are twice as many benefits. Georgia State University is claiming to be a tobacco free campus. However, they are not implementing to be tobacco free, which is affecting many people’s health indirectly.

New policies are being pondered as it pertains to smoking and obesity. I would conduct an in-service to give the board committee a chance to present their thoughts. I would remind the committee that public policy is one of society’s most powerful mechanisms for change. This should motivate them to pitch ideas about limiting marketing on television for cigarettes, or increasing taxes on tobacco products, or requesting smoke-free air laws. It would be important to realize that the environment has changed and therefore people’s decision to smoke will change because of the environment and not the

What if the problem of smoking on ASU was solved with the two sides being satisfied ? That what some of the public has been trying to do in the last decade. Nonsmokers have been upset about being victims of the secondhand smoke. Many solutions have been submitted to the university, but smokers suffer from the solutions that have many gaps in them. One major solution that have on the working was a smoking-free campus, which had negative feedback from smokers as they could not leave the campus and come back to campus. Especially that many smokers have been smoking on campus, although it is illegal.

I settled to this question because this is one that must be addressed for smokers on campus to understand. Many cigarette smokers believe that the exhaled smoke does not effect the individuals passing by them; however, the smoke inhaled does in fact have a negative effect on the individual. I am always bothered at the fact students and faculty members smoke knowing it is harmful to them and others on campus. I believe that all college campus should have a healthy environment for student to interact, learn and work. Therefore, I formatted this question to address the effect it has on the individual inhaling the smoke and the effect it has on the students and faculty’s environment.

Each item on the questionnaire is worded wisely and adds to the overall construct being measured. If administered to a larger sample size of faulty/staff and students, Berry College could use this survey to learn the attitudes about the new tobacco-free policy, which they could then use to better promote the advantages of living tobacco-free. Additionally, by gaining insight on attitudes regarding the tobacco-free policy, Berry College would be able to see how the policy is affecting the use of tobacco on and off campus. Further research on the new tobacco-free policy could include a survey measuring the effectiveness of the policy. The survey would measure how effect the new policy is at keeping people from using tobacco on campus. In addition, the survey could measure whether the new policy has caused an overall decrease in tobacco

Smoking, as one knows it, has become a stress-reliever worldwide. One will find a smoker pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up around every corner. Smoking has especially become a growing problem in college campuses. When a college student enters the college campus, they do not only enter a new campus, a new life is also entered. In this new experience, one will find themselves exploring new things. The power of the eye is remarkable in today’s society. When someone has a friend that is doing something, the one looking will eventually want to try as well. This can raise many red flags that can be avoided, simply by banning smoking on all college campuses. Smoking on college campuses should be banned because of nicotine’s negative effect on student’s personalities, academics, and overall health.
