Hank, you know that you are my boss, a father figure in my life, a mentor, and one of my best friends.

Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. No matter what the degree of smoking, it will increase the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke, etc. In 2015, the smoking rate in the United States is 15.1%, which means 36.5 million Americans smoking currently. Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. And of these deaths, more than 41,000 were due to exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke can cause the same health issue as smoking. Every year, the healthcare cost related to the smoking illness is more than $300 billion in the United States.
Tobacco ads have been barred from television for over twenty years. Young children don’t need the influence to smoke or dip, considering they’ll have enough peer pressure to do so later in life. By essentially censoring television ads, the government decreases the advertising power of tobacco companies. However, there are simply some things that should not be censored. When censored, any sort of art loses its meaning. When the government tries to censor art, such as music, paintings, digital art, movies, or TV shows, people can no longer truly express their feelings or convey the message they were attempting to portray.
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.
I would like to ask you if I can provide a regulation for only tobacco or for only alcohol. For instance, indoor smoking ban, which is obviously related with only smoking and it is not related with alcohol, can I talk about it in one paragraph and then in another paragraph can I give an example of one regulation for alcohol consumption? What I want to ask is that should I give an example of regulations which are implementing for both alcohol and tobacco? Thanks in advance.

Tobacco use is a large public health concern. It is extremely dangerous to use because of the long term affects including cancer, an increase in respiratory illness, and increases the risk of heart problems. Many question why the government hasn’t already banned tobacco since it is associated with so many negative diseases, but many others see the logic in the government staying out of the issue and letting citizens decide if they want to harm themselves. There comes a point, however, where the government needs to step in and realize that citizens will continue this bad habit if they are not forced to quit. Prohibition of tobacco will lead to lead to backlash from the tobacco companies, but setting this standard will show companies that the government is willing to make decisions that could affect their popularity for the next term. The government needs to realize that the severity of this
