Abstract
This paper looks at the various laws instituted by the State which are aimed at reducing teen-age smoking. It also looks at some regulations and programs which have been developed to discourage young people from taking up smoking.
From the Paper
"While the regulation was not shaped solely to prevent teenaged smoking, tobacco advertising was banned from television on January 1, 1971. At the time, this was widely considered an important victory for consumers. In part, though, this ban was intended to curtail teenaged smoking. The advertising restrictions were based on the premise that fewer ads would mean fewer smokers, and that in particular, teenagers would be less inclined to smoke if they were not exposed to so many images of rugged cowboys and pretty women with cigarettes. In 1967, a PTA official stated, "The constant seduction of cigarette advertising . . . gives children the idea that cigarettes are associated with all they hold dear--beauty, popularity, sex, athletic success." After passage of the restrictions, the debate over tobacco advertising continued to be driven by such concerns even though there was remarkably little evidence that people smoke because of messages from tobacco companies."

From the Paper
" Smoking should not be allowed in public places because of the health risk associated with second-hand smoke and the danger this poses to non-smokers who may find themselves in an environment where smoking is taking place. A link between second-hand smoke and various diseases associated as well with smoking was long suspected and has now been demonstrated, leaving no room for excuses in working toward making public places into smoke-free environments.
Admittedly, some Americans may resist this notion because they see any curtailment of freedom as a dangerous governmental intrusion, but in fact there are good reasons for such intrusion when it will prevent death and disease, as would be the case with a ban on smoking in public places. It is also true that the regulation of risk has been applied to a large number of.."

"Statement of the Problem
The proposed research will consist of a descriptive study of the perceptions of public administrators regarding the regulation of cigarette smoking. Not only will public administrators' perceptions be collected, discussed, and interpreted, they will also be examined to determine whether they significantly differ as a function of differences in administrators ages, gender, yearly income, marital status and religion. Further, perceptions will be examined for differences depending upon whether or not the administrator is a smoker.
Problem Background
As noted by Mathre (1994), nicotine (the active ingredient in the tobacco plant) is one of the most toxic and most addictive drugs known to man. Regarding its toxicity, Mathre states that ..."

Abstract
This paper focuses on discussing the reasons why Canadians smoke. It examines why individuals begin smoking, continue their smoking trends and finally what motivates them to quit smoking. The paper discusses the sociological understanding of human motivation in an attempt to understand the above three factors with regard to cigarette smokers.
From the Paper
"Overall however, the outlook is bright for Canadian non-smoking campaigns. For the first time this last year, there are more ex-smokers than current smokers in Canadian society. Those who use to smoke have made the conscious decision to stop the cycle for their loved ones and children. Smoking begins with Canadian youth who are influenced by social media as well as adults and society to begin smoking and it perpetuates because of the social typecasting and overall clique nature of smokers. The herd mentality is the strongest impetus for all three stages of a smoker's cycle, because individuals associated smoking as a strongly social activity. However, as society moves away from smoking as a socially accepted medium, more and more youth will look to smoking less as anti-culture and more as irrelevant. As this process continues the next decade will see less and less smokers both take up and perpetuate this disgusting habit."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the developmental period for today's adolescents can often be characterized by risky behavior. Today, teenagers will participate in smoking cigarettes, drinking, doing drugs, or having unsafe sex, all of which can carry negative consequences. The writer points out that nearly 80% of today's smokers began smoking before they were 18 years old. Further, the writer notes that smoking is the single largest preventable cause of premature deaths in the United States. With close to 5 million children, out of 70 million living today that will have premature deaths due to smoking, it is of utmost importance to determine their motives. The writer discusses what motivates adolescents to smoke despite the obvious negative health effects. The writer maintains that understanding reasons for smoking can help researchers understand just how much cigarettes impact participants' lives. The writer concludes that research can possibly prove that smoking is indeed addictive, helping end any myths about smoking once and for all.

From the Paper
"In 2006, the University of Illinois at Chicago conducted an important study on the effects of nicotine, both positive and negative, in young smokers ranging in age from 15 to 18 years old. The legal age in the United States to purchase and use tobacco products is 18. Because of this, all participants were required to have parental consent as well as their own consent to participate in the study. As with any study, there was a control group that consisted of 27 nonsmokers. In order to qualify as one of the 45 smokers, the participants must have smoked at least 4 weeks and have smoked a minimum of 1 cigarette a week, but no more than 5 cigarettes a day. Nonsmokers must never have smoked in their lives.
"To accurately assess the impacts of nicotine and their respective effects on participants, the study used cigarettes of varying amounts of nicotine: a high-yield cigarette or a denicotinized cigarette."

Abstract
This paper notifies all employees of the company that, beginning one month from today, the company will follow the guide-lines of federal and state requirements and institute a ban on smoking in the company buildings. The author stresses that the idea of a smoke-free environment is not only to encourage those employees who smoke to quit but also to protect the non-smokers from being affected by second-hand smoke, scientifically called Environmental Tobacco Smoke- ETS, which can do as much damage to persons nearby a smoker as if they themselves were smoking. The paper includes discussion points for each department about this No-Smoking rule including, although the company is offering financial assistance for a "Stop Smoking" course to encouraged stop smoking anywhere, designating a "Smoking Area" outside the building .
From the Paper
"It is important for all of you to realize that this was not a sudden, hap-hazard decision, but the statistics were so overwhelmingly negative that we felt we had to do something to protect all our employees and to guarantee them, at least while on the job, a smoke-free environment. Later in this memo, we will explain some of the potential "solutions" to the smoking problem, but, as you will see, they simply did not solve that second-hand smoke situation. But, let me begin by a little background that alerted us to the dangers of second hand smoke."

Smoking Ban in Public, 2002.
An analysis of the issues involved in the prevention of smoking in public places and in businesses.
2,190 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the claim that smoking should not be allowed in public places. The problem of second-hand smoking as a result of smoking in public, is raised. The hazards of second-hand smoke are presented in the paper. The issue is addressed from a legislative point of view as well as from the business/company perspective. The paper provides a number of reasons why a company should endeavor to prevent smoking within its boundaries. The media's influence on public awareness of smoking and passive smoking hazards is examined.
From the Paper
"Smoking should not be allowed in public places. This is based primarily on the fact that second-hand smoke is a health hazard, but it can also be argued that allowing people to smoke in public only perpetuates the habit and encourages others to take it up, thus adding to the health hazard in the long run. The private sector is already addressing the issue on a case-by-case basis, banning smoking in the workplace in many companies. Those who believe there is a problem may create a smoke-free area for customers or workers, or workers can demand that their place of business be entirely smoke free. Still, the government should take further action to protect the public where companies do not, including in shopping areas, workplaces, theaters, restaurants, and anywhere the public gathers. Allowing smoking on the street in fact encourages smoking, and discouraging smoking should be a primary effort for the public and private sectors to reduce the health costs paid by both."

Of the top sixteen causes for death among the elderly, eight are related to smoking."

Abstract
This paper examines the differences between New Deal era regulations and the shift that took place in regulations and regulatory reform during the 1960s and 70s in the United States. It examines different regulatory policies from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's decision to implement new deal regulatory policies in an attempt to defeat the depression to more recent legislation such as environmental legislation during the 1960s and 1970s. It analyzes how regulations follow a consistent model, one that is based on improving the lives of America's citizens. From the time of the New Deal throughout the 20th century, the central focus of legislation has been to create and pass laws that will provide substantial benefits to various segments of our society.
From the Paper
"The key to understanding New Deal legislation is to remember that it was aimed at curing the economic ills that prevailed during the Great Depression. However, as we begin to examine future legislation, we can see that the basic model remains the same and that additional regulation is an extension of the New Deal regulatory model. If we examine the regulatory policies of the 1960s and 70s, although they were not concerned with Depression issues or income distribution, they were still concerned with providing a quality of life for all Americans, particularly with regard to style of life, health and social justice.
Roosevelt worked diligently during his first 100 days in office and passed over 16 pieces of legislation, including the federal Emergency Relief Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the National Recovery Act. As his days in office continued, so did his penchant for enacting legislation to cure the economic woes facing the U.S."

From the Paper
"Evidence from recent large surveys of college student (aged 18 to 22) in North America indicates that this population is taking up smoking at an alarming rate (Murphy-Hoefer et al. 2004). Factors associated with smoking are: Peer influence. Peer smoking exerts social pressure to encourage initiation and continuation of smoking. (Niaura, Shadel, Britt, Abrams, 2002) Depression and stress. The literature suggests that depression has been found to have a strong association with cigarette smoking in college and university students."

"Despite these facts, smoking is still one of the most common vice among people nowadays. More and more people are becoming "addicted" to it, this include youngsters and the old ones. In the US alone, statistics shows that 80% of smokers start smoking before they reach the age of 21 (http://unr.edu/homepage/shubinsk/whosmok1.html, 1999). Furthermore, there are also various studies that were conducted proving that one in five high school seniors smoke daily and 70% of the total high school student population has tried cigarettes, while 3000 teenagers start smoking each day (http://unr.edu/homepage/shubinsk/whosmok1.html, 1999)."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the book, which looks at the U.S. government?s involvement in the tobacco industry. It discusses shifts in policy making with regard to tobacco and the influence and power of the tobacco industry to fight anti-smoking policies. The effect of federalism on product regulation is discussed, as is the release of the report by the Surgeon General, Luther Terry, in 1964; claiming smoking as a health risk. The Federal Trade Commission?s role in regulating cigarettes is looked at and the interference of politics in neutral, scientific, and impartial regulation is raised. The paper concludes with recommendations for the future, such as the rationalization of public policy and the monitoring of policy changes.
From the Paper
"The tobacco issue has been a difficult one in the American political system from the beginning of tobacco as a cash crop. The issue has become even more complex in recent years, with one arm of the government offering subsidies and other support to tobacco growers while another is challenging the health risks involved and still another is seeking legal redress. The government has for some time in effect been on both sides of the issue at the same time. Many of the reasons for this can be found in the book Smoking and Politics: Policy Making and the Federal Bureaucracy by A. Lee Fritschler and James M. Hoefler, most recently in its 5th Edition as the authors update their analysis every few years."

Employee Regulations, 2002.
An examination of employee regulations to facilitate management needs and employees? rights.

Abstract
This paper examines how, in order to maintain balance in every process and to develop eligibility, a company needs solid regulations to cover management and employee needs. It looks at such issues as employee motivation and provides a listing of qualities of regulations that facilitate the employees as well as their managers. Examples given include easy-to-understand job descriptions and guidance on how employees can maximize their performance and potentials for employees and for the managers such qualities as the simplification of management responsibility to define goals for each division and subdivision and each individual worker. It evaluates how overall integration is the only answer to create balanced performance of regulations, so the regulations will play fair and protect the rights from both parties. Company should state clearly to employees what they expect and the standard performance and employees can also provide feedback as well to ensure their needs and complaints are fulfilled.
From the Paper
"Although managers mostly are related with planning and periodical-achievement-estimation function in the company resource profile, basically they have similar functions as other employees, unless they are the same personnel. Managers do not only set targets for achievement but also encourage all staffs to fully participate following their qualities and regulations. They need to think about the best way to demand high quality performance and timely fashion. The audacious task takes more than other duties, since not all employees simply follow guidelines from the company, or get motivated with the regulations. Managers need to educate them to understand that both managers and company have the same goals, and it is not the owner?s goals only. Also, employees need to understand why they are required to work hard, improve their skills, or join arduous trainings to escalate their level."
