Risk With High Impact, Is For Consumer Health Organization Convention

The smoking habit is the principal cause of illness, disability and death around the world. More than five million of people in the world die due to smoking habit every year. If we don’t take care of this in 2030 the amount will be ten million. Seven million of these deaths would be in poor countries.

For both the pro and con sides these facts are presented in order to support each paper's opinions. One opinion of the pro side is that the market of cigarettes is a market for disease and death. At one point the paper states, "Outrage at an industry that has made billions selling sickness and death" the paper enforces this opinion later by saying, "For decades, Big Tobacco has made a profit by selling the instruments of disease and death." Another opinion is that tobacco industries are the only companies that manufacture a product which causes serious illness and kills. The pro side quotes Edward L. Kaven, author of Smoking: The Story Behind the Maze as saying, "the only industry which produces a consumer product that is likely to kill and render human beings seriously ill when used as intended." I believe that these opinions are exaggerated ones. First of all, the tobacco companies are not the only companies that sell a product that is unhealthy and even has devastating affects on people.

Then the gain percent decreases and it isn’t such a lucrative business anymore. It’d be best for them to make business in another department. Therefore, I agree with Coffman’s claim of making other companies that sell products just as harmful as tobacco pay the same financial settlement to the states. I stand with this claim because tobacco has the same impact on people as alcohol and guns. Just like tobacco, alcohol deteriorates health and causes organ malfunction which lead to death and in some cases, even premature death. Guns have the same end product as tobacco because if guns are used against other people, many end up dead. With tobacco it leads you to lung cancer and later, death. In fact, guns have a worse

If we look at the tobacco industry we clearly see that the manufactures that make tobacco products help fund and provide research on the use of their product, not hinder it. We the people have access to that information, and our right to choose whether or not we use tobacco products remains in our hands.

Tobacco use and the effects of second hand smoke have been an ongoing issue for many years. Looking at the attitude of the 1950’s and 1960’s when smoking was thought of as cool, suave, mature, etc., there has been a major turnaround in the way society looks at the use of tobacco. Now the issue is not just smoking and the damage to health that it causes, but now there is the additional awareness of what second hand smoke can do to individuals.

was 35.1 billion dollars. With a product that kills so many of its customers, your only concern in this industry is to increase sales and make a profit. Definitely in the tobacco industry and most others, it is my opinion that you cannot cater to the best interest of both the company and the consumer. Even a good company with the best intentions will eventually come to a crossroad where choosing what is best for one will not have such a great outcome for the other. Their best interests will ultimately conflict, and you will be forced make a choice between the two.

The first assessment was very informative for me because I honestly don't think about the health aspects of my life as much as I should. Their first health risk I took away from the assessment was that I do not incorporate enough fruits and vegetables in my diet. The second health risk also had to do my diet thing that I needed to include more dairy products like milk and things like that. The third health risk had to do with stress management and lacking some confidence when I have a ton of things to do.

1. American Society for Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM) identifies the following four key components and specific steps for a risk management program. They are risk identification, risk analysis, risk treatment and risk evaluation. First, in the risk identification process, both incident reports and patients’ complaints are helpful to identify the risk. In this case, the twins’ mom, Kimberly Quaid’s complaint was the first indicator of the risk. Second, risk analysis can be done prior to administration of the drug Heparin. At this stage, the risks of mixing-up Heparin with other drugs are proactively addressed. Third, risk treatment can be applied with risk control techniques. Possible risk control techniques include labeling all the pediatric

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.

Health concerns are the primary issue for nearly all of the stakeholders. Employees care about their job security and integrity for their occupations. The government is responsible for ensuring the safety and overall welfare of its community. If tobacco is known as a health hazard to the citizens, then it is the responsibility of the government to act on it. The customers of the tobacco industry are another huge factor. Of course, they care about their health, the ingredients of the product, the quality, the cost, etc. Then there are the owners and shareholders who, while they may also care about the reputation of the business, they are mainly concerned with the continuation of the corporation and the profits from it.

It is demonstrated that smoking cigarettes cause lots of health problems not just for those who smoke them, but also for secondhand smokers. To illustrate1, the three main problems that the tobacco causes are heart disease, cancer, and problems for new-borns. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) one from each three person in the world are smokers -that is 1.300 millions of people. And according to the World Health Organization, 6 millions of people die every year, from where 600,000 are not smokers who just are near people who is smoking. For that reason, the production and sale of cigarettes should be banned.

“epidemic”. Tobacco kills 6 million out of the more than 1 billion users yearly. A meeting was held in 2012 concluded that what was being done was not enough. One solution offered was to create a smoke-free generation by abolishing tobacco for persons born in 2000 or later. Additionally, the Word Health Organization created a treaty to minimise tobacco use. Although countries put graphic photos on the cigarette packets, the tobacco industry challenged them legally. Some countries could not afford the legal funds, in response, defence fund was created by Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates. Since the supply side relies on trade agreements, the United States and China are fighting to keep tobacco from trade agreements. Additionally, Concerned environmentalists concluded that the tobacco industry needs to be held responsible for the short term and long term effects on the environment and human health. The FDA collaborated with the National Institute of Health to financially support efforts made to stop the tobacco industry. Despite all the progress, tobacco is still a problem. Although the Tobacco Endgame is unrealistic because of the industries power and very few solutions target the

Threats: RAI’s threats include lawsuits, increase in taxation, competition and product regulation. Over the years, there have been many lawsuits file because of deaths due to cigarette smoking. Litigation will continue to be a problem that the company must deal with. The company has to deal with the unknown of increased tobacco regulations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is a continued processed that a threat to any tobacco company due to the history of this industry.

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).

As soon as the door opens to any store, most of the time there will be a tobacco related product nearby. In today’s society there is controversy on whether drugs should be sold to the public, but most of these controversies do not involve tobacco related products. Tobacco products are widely used, but these tobacco are not safe. Cigarettes and other tobacco products should be illegal because tobacco is composed of many harmful chemicals. Anybody who comes in contact with a tobacco substance can contract an illness. They can either touch or breathe it and because of its dangerous composition it can lead to serious health problems in the future. Secondhand smoke has been on the rise since tobacco companies are targeting young adults for their target market. Tobacco affects the brain by releasing an addictive drug called nicotine that makes the smoker feel happy or stress free. Tobacco causes the user’s immune system to weaken from all the toxins and chemicals and can cause autoimmune disorders.
