Tobacco Persuasive Research Paper

Hank, you know that you are my boss, a father figure in my life, a mentor, and one of my best friends. I couldn’t ask for anyone better than you and I cannot thank you enough for all the things you have done for me over the last two years. One think that I have noticed though is that you love your smokeless tobacco. Don’t get me wrong, where I come from almost everyone uses tobacco in some type of way, especially in the military, but you mean a lot to me Hank and I want you to be aware of the risk you’re really taking when you use the snus and chewing tobacco.

Smoking kills. Smoking can cause cancer and other bad diseases. Also, companies have made cigarettes in different flavors which are worse than regular cigarettes. People who smoke can be addicted. If you try to stop smoking cold turkey, it will give you headaches and stomachaches. I wanted to research this topic because I have some really close friends and they have family that smoke. Their great-grandpa died from smoking. Also, I noticed a lot of people are dying because they made the bad decision to smoke. Some people started to smoke when they were teenagers. They got addicted to it, and now they can’t stop smoking. I wanted to try to find a way people who smoke can stop. How can countries solve and stop smoking? This problem can be solved and it will be solved because countries are starting to ban smoking from certain places.

The crowd is cheering and your state’s baseball team is one point ahead of the opposing team. If the other team doesn’t get at least one player home, you win the World Series. You see your favorite pitcher spit out a green-ish brown blob of something unrecognizable from where you are sitting, but you disregard it and continue watching as he winds up for the potentially winning pitch. What you don’t know is that is by the time the next baseball season rolls around, your favorite player won’t be there in person to celebrate his team’s first win of the season. The esophageal cancer that he obtained from chewing that “green-ish brown blob,” known as chewing tobacco, will be at high risk for spreading throughout his body if he does not treat it, and he can no longer play due to chemotherapy sessions that drain all of his energy. All over the country, athletes just like that pitcher face the same consequences due to their constant chewing of tobacco during sporting events and on the field.

Tobacco companies have had massive public relations and campaigns to the whole wide world to influence young adults to start to smoke. By advertising, having famous people smoke, in movies, and make it look cool. Tobacco companies continue to make there presence known by targeting kids. Since the legal age of buying and using tobacco products is at 18, the age where young adults feel invincible and free, they hope they will get hook and continue to smoke all the way through there adult life’s. Since most companies know that tobacco with nicotine can have an addictive habit, they hope to attract the young adults. Tobacco companies had a monopoly with regulations up until the year 2009.

Tobacco companies make a lot of profit on cigarettes, and they want shoppers to keep buying their product. They only concern about how much money they are going to make; they do not care about how it will affect other people’s health. An average pack of cigarette is about five dollars, but imagine smoking about two packs day that would be three thousand three hundred and sixty dollars a year. According to Werner, "supporters of FDA bill cited figures from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention that smokers coat the country $96 billion a year in direct health care costs, and an additional $97 billion a year in lost productivity". Smokers are not only spending their own money on cigarettes, but they are also spending tax payer’s money on

Guaranteed health deterioration, pollution, and rapid aging and appearance deterioration; does that appeal to you in any way? No, great! So, please remove cigarettes from your life. Dare to be different. Inspire others to learn about the risks of this deadly substance. Dare to make a difference. Daily cigarette smoking is considered substance abuse. Yes, substance abuse. I am not just emphasizing alcohol and other illegal drugs, cigarette smoking too. Why? It is simply because it possesses serious consequences as some of the widely recognized substances except cigarettes are not widely accepted by many to be as equally dangerous. Why are cigarettes effects ignored? The general public has deemed cigarettes to be unequally dangerous as other substances without any proven evidence to support their claims. Needless to say, the evidence currently presented by experts from scientific experiments has proven otherwise. Again, the public decided to ignore these facts. Now, many would respond to my claims by indicating “you are just an advocate attempting to persuade the general public of your opinions.” Yes, I am an advocate and will remain to be an advocate. If I can change one person, I have achieved success because one person can make a difference. That one person can inspire another person and that person can move on
