Tobacco has been around in the world for over 2.5 million years. It was not until a few hundred years ago when the tobacco industry decided to put these crops into use and conjure up tobacco products for the community. A popular tobacco product in society is cigarettes, as they are cheap and simple to use. As long as one is over eighteen, acquiring cigarettes is a straightforward process for a reasonable price, albeit the sin tax. It was not until recently when cigarettes became widely controversial due to the plant containing nicotine, an addictive drug to the body. Aside from containing nicotine and other hazardous chemicals to the body, cigarettes also cause a whole host of health implications

Imagine reaching under a desk and feeling a squishy, wet substance. You then feel confused and you then decide to look underneath the desk, and find an atrocity, a chewed, wet, and greasy piece of gum! You then sprint to the nearest sink, bleach your hands with soap, walk away traumatized, and watch as another innocent human being gags at their new, unpleasant discovery. You feel angry and you feel shaken up, and you consider throwing the ban hammer on gum. Should gum be

Tobacco, Smokes, Cancer Sticks, Chew, Dip, whatever you want to call it, has been poisoning the innards of individuals since the days of the prehistoric Mayas of Mexico at around 600 to 900 A.D. This tobacco craze would resume in the society of the American Indians and later to the European settlers. In the early seventeenth century, tobacco was the chief cash crop of America’s first colony, Jamestown Virginia. This crop would continue to flourish in throughout history. By the early 1900’s, The American Tobacco Company was the leading and most influential tobacco corporation. The game completely changed at the time of the two World Wars however. Soldiers began receiving free cigarettes and the industry began targeting women as potential costumers as they were gaining new rights and liberties in society at this time. In 1964, the cigarette empire began to see its decline when the Surgeon General of the U.S. wrote a report about the dangers of cigarette smoking. After this statement by “America’s doctor”, legislation did everything in their power to detour people form purchasing these harmful products. They have gone as far as to make tobacco companies label “caution” on their products. Tobacco companies have recently been having trouble selling their

Tractate Sanhedrin (99b) posits three opinions as to identify the specific plant species of the dudaim. The first opinion, cited in tractate Berachos (43b) and which Rashi quoted, is that the dudaim are siglei, or violets. In addition, Rashi quotes the opinion that they are seviskei, a type of fragrant spice; an opinion that both Sforno and the Rokeach mention. The Chizuki and Rashbam translate dudaim as figs, in Bereishis Rabbah 70:2 they are translated as barley, and the Torah

One of the reasons why teachers and parents disagree to chewing gum is that it gives a negative image and symbolises delinquency, thus this has resulted in gum being banned in schools to ensure students look “smart” and give the school a “good” image, the truth is that chewing gum actually makes others have a better impression towards you. In a test held by “Beldent” they asked a total of 481 people to take a test in selecting which of the identical twins was more favourable in society, during the experiment one twin was chewing gum and the other did not candidates would be asked questions and pick the twin that would fit the description the most. The results of the test showed that 78% of the people voted for the twin that was chewing gum and more favoured to be exciting, nicer and a “better” person of society overall. The long believed idea of “gum is only chewed by delinquents” or that chewing gum is disgusting is a lie that we have been told all our lives by our parents, teachers and adults. They have been oblivious to the fact that someone is more likely to approach someone that chews gum than one who is dressed up in a tie, wearing his 80’s glasses and holding his binder folder. Teachers and adults must accept the idea that chewing gum is not an immoral act! Many adults only relate gum to the sticky sick slimy “bloob” under desks all

But the population doesn’t speak English, but so-called Singlish with Creole characteristics, Chinese dialects, and Indian and Malay languages.
