Discussion and Conclusion
The purpose of this report was to investigate the effects of the stress of exams in the cigarette consumption level of young students. It was found that students are more prone to smoke when they are under the stress of exams.
There are a significant amount of results that agree with the hypothesis. It was found that the majority of participants who claimed being smokers are in the age of 18-22 and are college students. Moreover, the 87% of the responses stated that exams produce great levels of stress in students and the 42% believed that people always smoke because they are stressed. These results could be related to past literature that claim smokers use cigarette as mechanisms to deal with stress (Center of Diseases Control and Prevention 2014; WebMD 2000). Moreover, the 76% of the responses claimed that season of exams avoids students to maintain a healthy daily routine. Responses are the same as past researches which state that activities such as healthy dietary habits, emotional control, physical activity, self-care habits, sleep patterns and study habits would decrease under stressful situations (Oaten and Cheng 2005). Finally, responses show that 54% of participants believed that students have less self-control in exam season. This might be related to the loss of self-control under stressful situation (Baumeister et al. 1994).
The general belief about smoking is that it reduces stress in short-term but is dangerous in long-term is
But there is research that shows that smokers tend to have higher levels of stress than non-smokers and this is due to their smoking habits. Smoking may feel like it is reducing stress but in actuality smoking habits may be the exact cause of the subjects stress. Consistent cigarette smokers have reported that smoking alters their mood, and they have reported that they feel a heightened sense of stress in between cigarettes but once they smoke the nicotine relaxes them and changes their mood to a more calm state (Parrott, A.C. 1999).

Many smokers, like Sload, take their first puffs in college. Other students experiment with cigarettes in high school but start smoking heavily in college. Everyone I surveyed and interviewed is aware that smoking was responsible for the deaths of many people every year. They know it increased the risk of heart attack and stroke and adversely affects breathing and the lungs. And like smokers of any age, many college students are actively trying to quit. Mandie Sload knows that for or five cigarettes a day were four or five too many. She plans to quit someday. She understands that if she quits her breath will smell better;
Therefore, they would rather have their children stay indoors and watch television instead. People with stress may have it difficult to insert exercise in their daily routine. When people deal with stress, their only stress reliever would be smoking cigarettes. Smoking increases their chances of lung cancer and other chronic illnesses. The struggle with managing stress is how people relieve their stress and how much availability they have on their
Students smoke because they wanted to take risks, are looking for something to calm nerves, relieve anxiety and to be social according to
Most often seniors in high schools can purchase cigarettes because they are 18, so they distribute them to underclassmen or friends. Nearly 21 percent of high schoolers in public schools smoke cigarettes, which would be about 3.13 million students (Preidt). My survey shows that only four percent, or two out of 49 people admit their addiction to cigarettes. The two students admitted that stress is their reasoning for why they began smoking and continue, but only one has support to end their need to smoke. While the student with assistance is continuing to smoke, they are attempting to stop; however, the effects of smoking are obviously severe (lung disease, cancer, bronchitis, etc.) and cannot continue. Cigarettes may be a partial stress reliever although the permanent and long-term effects should be proof enough that this addiction is a necessity to prevent in our high schoolers even if it is four
This study was limited to students who self-identified themselves as never-smokers. Never-smokers were those who answered “I’ve never smoked cigarettes” to the question “Now think about 12 months ago. At this time last year, about how much were you smoking?” Independent variables being used in this study included age, gender, and SHS Exposure in cars and homes as probed by the survey questions as presented in the 2011-2012 CSTS:
For students the most direct impact of smoking is that smoking is negatively related to students’ school performance. The results of poor academic achievement dose not reduce students’ self-confidence, but also affect their future employment status. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of smoking is much expensive than other habit. Based on University of Texas’ calculation , the annual cost on smoking for pack-a-day habit is about 3720 US dollars, which includes insurance cost, health care cost and etc.. Nevertheless, the cost in Canada should be much higher because the average price for a pack of cigarette in the US is only $6 but $10 in Canada. Besides, the currency exchange rate and price index will grow up the expenses for
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.
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.
The topic of this paper is how different aspects of adolescents’ lives can affect whether they use cigarettes, e-cigarettes or both. The authors of the study used established risk factors based on two models as to the reason why adolescents used a form of tobacco. In addition, the scientists wanted to create a baseline for high schoolers in reference to their smoking habits. In order to complete this study, the scientists chose five schools in Oahu, Hawaii to participate. The majority of the schools were public with two being private. The participants were either Freshmen or Sophomores. In order to obtain the information they needed, the scientists gave surveys to the students which they filled out. With the information from the students, the
Some people smoke on account they are stressed, others smoke being it is a habit, and still others smoke for the sake they think that it is chic. However, smoking will never be chic as it causes additions that seem impossible to break. Smoking causes premature aging from the heat of the cigarette. While every time a cigarette is smoked the skin is aging faster than natural, also virtually every organ in the body including the heart, lungs, and skin is being harmed. While every person on this planet can tell you that you shouldn’t smoke, the choice is up to you, you have the ultimate decision whether or not you want to do irreversible damage to your body.
Most college students are unaware of the dangers that smoking really has. The nicotine in a cigarette is one of the most addictive parts. When someone smokes, they are automatically putting themselves at a greater risk for heart disease rather than a non-smoker. The heart disease can lead to an even more serious problem, a heart attack. It is predicted that a person who smokes puts themselves at twice the risk for a heart attack verses a non-smoker. When a college student enters college, they are surely not thinking of their death date. If the college populations is unaware of the real dangers of smoking, they put themselves at a higher risk for death. In college life, one of
Under the youth research, Philippines Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), it concluded that 46.2% of students had ever smoked cigarettes, which is tantamount to more than 1 in 5 students surveyed. Almost 9 in 10 of students surveyed saw anti-smoking media messages and over two-thirds of them think smoke from other is harmful. The study further concluded that approximately 86% of the current smokers want to stop smoking. (http://www.smokefree.doh.gov.ph/uploads/attachments/21120174fe4f9af941b855fef2a6741e3ddd7237.pdf)
