Everyone should know that smoking cigarettes is a bad habit and is dangerous for the user's health. Yet, these cancer causing, teeth yellowing, bad breath causing cigarettes are still being smoked everyday by people all over the world. It used to be seen as cool to smoke and it seemed like everyone did it. Like a fashion fad, smoking cigarettes soon became out of style. People still smoke, but not as much as they used to. In 2003 electronic cigarettes were first introduced the United States as a safer alternative, making smoking or vaping, as its called now, a cool fad again. Smoking had been at an all time low until recently when alternatives to traditional smoking such electronic cigarettes or hookah have become popular especially among the younger generation(Rifkin para. 2). Many smokers are now using electronic cigarettes over traditional

Many drugs are used, misused, and abused in American society today. Some of these carry stigma in the general population, forcing users into an underground drug subculture. Others are accepted and almost promoted under certain circumstances. Tobacco is one of those drugs. Tobacco will be discussed in the context of cigarette smoking. This is not to undermine the existence or danger of other forms of tobacco, but instead to have an exhaustive discussion of cigarette smoking and its societal impact. Cigarettes are a means of inhaling tobacco, where it enters the lungs and is absorbed through the blood vessels, traveling to the heart, from which it is finally pumped to the brain (Hogan, Gabrielsen, Luna, and Grothaus 2003:76). Cigarettes are detrimental to society because they not only affect the user who chooses to smoke; they impact people around them through second-hand and residual smoke. The damage done by cigarettes is not impossible to address. Successful prevention measures are already in place, but this paper intends to suggest other more direct measures, especially related to statutory regulations.

In Woodland Indian rituals, ceremonies, and religious observances, tobacco is used as the unifying thread of communication between humans and the spiritual powers (mpm.edu). It is said the spirits are extremely fond of tobacco and that the only way they could get it was from the Native Indians, either by smoke from a pipe or by offerings of dry tobacco. According to American India tradition, the Indians received tobacco as a gift from Wenebojo who had taken it from a mountain giant and then given the seed to his brothers. It has been a way of life to them for many centuries and that is why many say we can’t ban tobacco usage. We nearly wiped out their entire population and it wouldn’t be right to limit their practice of faith nor stigmatize

I am writing this report on the issue of vaping and smoking. I will go into detail explaining the effect of vaping and smoking in the human body and the effect it as on society. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of vaporing will be provided. In this report I will include statistical illustrations and diagrams on how it affects the society and draw conclusions with the given evidence. I have decided to research this topic because of how much smoking has affected the people especially younger people in the society.

Just like any culture, depicting what is sacred and what is not is always a constant battle. To be exactly sure where and when it started is very broad, due to the fact that Native American people revolve around an oral history, but is present is all history that is known today. There is not any solid evidence on traditions or cultures that Native American people practiced before European settlers moved in. More or so, what is known about traditions has been made aware from recent history. A very interesting aspect of tobacco is that it is widely used in several Native American tribe’s ceremonies, from Three-Affiliated tribes in Washington all the way to the Seminole tribe in Florida, tobacco is present in traditional ceremonies. In the article “Holy Smoke: Tobacco Use Among Native American Tribes in North America” states, “the tobacco used by these Naïve American nations was of the variety Nicotiana rustica. It is a variety that has a higher nicotine content than other varieties of tobacco: 3.9-8.6% in the dried leaves as compared with Nicotiana tabacum with 0.05-4%” (Godlaski, 2). These two strains of tobacco are commonly found in South America, raising the question of how tobacco became so widespread amongst Native American populations in North America. Transportation of the seeds could have been through birds or land animals, but is highly unlikely. The appearance of tobacco in Native American

The side of smoking that is rarely published will be explored in this paper. The side that only a smoker knows, not the side the governments and health agencies provide the news media with. This information is valuable because it is not very well exposed to the world. This essay will answer the question, “Why do you smoke cigarettes?”.

Cigarette smoking is prevalent throughout the world, despite a broad range of adverse effects on the society, public health, environment, and economy. Many smokers continue to smoke despite being aware of the cost to their health and finances. The easy access and availability along with the addiction to nicotine are the primary causes of tobacco use around the world. People continue to smoke because cigarettes are readily available and they can quickly acquire cigarettes despite an intention to quit. Although the addiction plays a vital role in the smoking persistence, the availability also prevents many people from stopping. Many cigarette smokers, especially young adults and casual smokers will quit their habit if the government prohibits the sale of cigarettes around the country. The prohibition of cigarettes will not only reduce the prevalence of smoking, but also prevent people from taking up the habit in the first place. The government should prohibit smoking cigarettes because it has several effects on the society, including the hazards to public health, addiction, secondhand smoke, environmental pollution, and personal economic loss.

The popularization of tobacco smoking and cigarette usage has been a marketing phenomenon since the closing years of the 19th century. Through the years, society has gone from pipe-smoking, to tobacco chewing, to snuff, and, the latest popular trend, vaping. Not only is smoking damaging to the person in action, but it is also extremely harmful to those in the surrounding areas of the smoker. The purpose of writing this research paper is to contribute to the argument on why there should be a ban against smoking in public places. Public smoking should be banned for many reasons, including the harm it causes others through secondhand smoke, it is a great source of pollution and can increase the amount of littering, and it might cause others to smoke less, possibly resulting in ending the addiction.
