How many people can say when there out trying to enjoy themselves they enjoy smelling smoke? I’m pretty sure none of us that’s why I am conducting my research project on how smoking in public areas should be absolutely forbidden. In today’s modern society in America you are free to participate in activities such as drinking and smoking and that’s very significant to have such a freedom. But the issues that most Americans have including myself is that you should not be allowed to partake in these activities around other people without their consent. Over forty two million people in the United States engage in daily smoking with cigarettes. In 2013 there was data taken to show the facts of the average adult in the United States that smokes and nearly eighteen of every one hundred U.S adult ages 18 years and older currently smoke cigarettes. The majority of these people not only smoke but they do it outside and when people do smoke outside they find themselves being respectful to others that are inside and also they will do anything to be able to smoke but still protect the one’s that they love away from second hand smoke which is true but what about the same innocent people we have outside don’t they deserve that same curtesy? The research that I found shows that even when stepping outside to smoke it just makes it worst there are ones of magnates that release around 250 super poisonous gases fumes and chemicals. These same toxins that are released out into the air are the
Smoking is an activity that has been around for many years for people to use and adapt into their lifestyle. It is a tool that many people use to help reduce the stresses of life and put them in a comfortable position that enables them to cope with the hectic lifestyle they are living. However, smoking has been scientifically proven to cause many types of cancer, the most common being lung cancer resulting in numerous deaths across the United States. According to BBC, "Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease" (BBC, 2). Evidently, the benefits and drawbacks of smoking have been debated for many years, and only recently have some countries have placed a ban in public places such as Britain and the United
Every year, there are over 400,000 smoking-related deaths in the United States. A large percentage of these are due to lung cancer, whose leading cause is smoking. However, not all deaths are smokers themselves. Anyone in the vicinity can fall victim to second hand smoke. These people, through no action of their own, can have their lives threatened.
Have you ever gone to a restaurant or to the bowling alley and come home smelling like cigarette smoke? And while you were there, some people are sitting there smoking by you and you can’t stand the smell of it. So you go out side and to get some fresh air and what do you know there’s some more people lighting it up and smoking but they are polite enough to go outside. Doesn’t this annoy you, that you can barely go anywhere without people smoking in your presence. This leads us to the question, Should smoking in public areas be allowed? Smoking in public areas is something that could definitely be dealt without. The things I will cover with you are the effects of smoking, the effects of
Every day in America families’ gathers together to celebrate special events or the accomplishments of one of its members. Many times these special moments can be ruined or brought to an abrupt end due to others nearby smoking. Public spaces should be safe and accessible to all members of society to use without the inconvenience of someone else’s smoking ruining their outing or causing health issues to flare up such as, asthma. People do have the right to choose to smoke if they desire, but nonsmokers have the right to go out to public places with their family and not be exposed to harmful secondhand smoke. Studies have shown that secondhand smoke is just as harmful as smoking and leads to a higher occurrence of cancer and heart disease. Furthermore,
Recent studies show “that in 1982, approximately 1.2 million adults got lung cancer or died” according to Arden Pope III. The reason these people got sick and/or died is because of air pollution. People that smoke cigarettes are more likely to get lung cancer, than people who don’t smoke and the smokers are causing pollution also. Their not only affecting themselves with pollution, but their affecting other people's lives with the smoke that their releasing into the surface. For example myself. I have asthma and when people smoke near me I start to cough, get headaches, and the worst thing is when
hazardous chemicals that regular cigarettes do. It is unfair that electronic cigarettes are not always included in laws pertaining to the use of nicotine based products in public places. Bystanders should not have to face problems that a change in legislation could fix. The authors of this article went on to describe a study that was conducted to show how often users smoked cigarettes, how many cigarettes they averagely smoked at once, and where users received second hand smoke. Many of the places that users smoked and were around other smokers, were public areas. Second hand smoke will drastically decrease if clean air laws included electronic cigarettes under the same category as traditional smoking. After the results of the study were
and The question is why the freedom to smoke in a designated area in public places a problem. If you are outside are in close area people are still exposed to the fumes of second hand smoke. Can the option of smoking be left up to the public rather or not an individual should smoke in public. Where does the line end in the rights of a person the right to inhale clean air, the right to excise your right to smoke in public? Non-Smokers have the right to smoke free clean air environment, and smokers have a personal right to smoke in designated smoking areas. In this research paper I will talk about the controversy issue of second-hand smoke in public places and the privilege to smoke in public.
Should cigarette smoking be banned for everyone in the United States? Why? Why not? Should those who chose their time smoking to relieve stress, personal enjoyment, or simply just because, have to lose their right to what makes them happy? Smoking tobacco products has been around for decades and in many different forms. Should personal rights be pushed aside to please those around us that disagree with the so called “disgusting habit”? In the paper The Washington Times an article caught my interest called”D.C. seeks bans on smoking in national parks” written by Steven Dinan. In this article he stated that “Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton wrote Park Service Regional Director Steve Whitesell saying she’s heard from constituents who fear
I will be discussing the topic why smoking should be banned in the workplace (inside and outside). I’ll be covering the loss of productivity in the workplace and the benefits of a smoke free workplace. In my opinion smoking should be banned in the workplace because the productivity is what makes a business and the benefits are a healthier and safer environment producing a better corporate image.
The purpose of this policy is to define public outdoor areas where smoking is banned to create outdoor smoke free conditions .
“I hate to see you go like this, Mom. It shouldn’t have happened this way.” Taylor glared at the pack of cigarettes in her Mother’s hand as she took her last breaths and the cigarettes fell to the floor. She grabbed her mother’s greasy yellow fingers and scowled at her mother’s brown teeth, and kissed her wrinkled, distorted face. Smoking kills more than 480,000 people in the U.S. each year. Will you be one of them? Overall, I think that smoking should be banned from society. There are no pros to smoking, secondhand smoke is harmful, and finally, smoking kills many people and causes many diseases every year
In the past few decades extensive research has gone into studying the effects of cigarettes on air quality. Many carcinogens and particulate matter (PM) exist in the second-hand smoke. The results from these studies have led to anti-smoking campaigns across the country; consequently changing the cultural acceptance of smoking into a cultural taboo. Not only did smoking affect the health of the consumer but conventional cigarettes also spewed several toxic chemicals into the environment that affected other people’s health. The environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been associated with cardiovascular problems, asthma, respiratory infections, and lung cancer. Consequently, this has led to the ban of smoking in many public places like public buildings, bars, and restaurants (Schober et al.). Unfortunately, the nicotine in cigarettes makes this product very addictive and for several years many people wondered if a product could be invented that simulated smoking but without all the chemicals.
1. Did you meet your goals? As I look back on how I first started in my writing class I thought okay, what and how do I get started on writing in a journal and what do I put into words about what I need to write about. It was a struggle for me and I thought to myself you have to put a plan in action to meet the goal I had set for myself.
Should someone be able to smoke in a public place? Some people believe it should be banned and others argue that its violates their freedom. The people for this ban argue that it effects the people around them in a negative way. The people against want to just smoke out in public. Although there is strong evidence that second hand smoke has severe health While out right banning smoking is wrong, there should be a certain limitation of where you can do it so you won’t affect others.
It is estimated that 36.5 million adults smoke in the United States of America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). A cigarette contains 7,000 chemicals and 70 of those can cause cancer (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). When someone decides to smoke a cigarette, they are not only choosing to allow those toxins into their body but are imposing all those same toxins on anyone around them. Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers and is considered more dangerous then smoking the cigarette (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). Every year 480,000 people in the United States of America die because of cigarette smoking, which is the leading cause of preventable disease and death. Why has this deadly habit become such a casual part of the American life? This habit is not only harmful to the person smoking, but is hurting everyone around them. It may be their decision to smoke and cause damage to their own bodies but when they decide to smoke in public they are infringing on the rights of everyone around them right to protect their health. Smoking should be made illegal because it is not only harmful to the smokers but also causes harm to fetuses in utero, developing children and any other adults who may breathe that smoke in.
