Abstract
This paper looks how how tobacco-smoking has become the most ominous, as well as preventable, cause of premature deaths throughout the world. It explains that the serious nature of the tobacco menace entails the need for an immediate change in our lifestyle from tobacco dependence to total abstinence.
From the Paper
"Tobacco smoking is one of the most common habits prevalent throughout the world. Inspite of the serious health consequences people continue to smoke tobacco with very little concern for the possible heath implications. What is more concerning is that apart from the potential risk for the smokers, passive smoking has also had a large toll on the lives of the people. Cardiac arrest and lung cancer are two of the potentially fatal diseases, which are directly attributed to tobacco smoking. Apart from this tobacco is also the leading cause for respiratory problems (asthma, chronic bronchitis), emphysema, oral diseases, infertility and other bodily complications. So there is an urgent need to combat this health menace by way of creating awareness among the people as to the dangers of smoking. Let us discuss the problem in a little detail."

From the Paper
"The dangers of smoking are well known to most Americans who still smoke in this decade, yet smokers still persist in the single most avoidable cancer risk. Smokers and nonsmokers alike are aware of the risks, as studies from each succeeding decade huild up a consistent body of evidence showing that smoke and second-hand smoke are detrimental to personal and public safety.
Although for the first time there are now more Americans who have quit smoking than who still smoke, and although the overall smoking rate among adults is now just below 25 percent, more than 43 million American men and women still smoke. Unfortunately, there has been no decline in smoking by teenagers, with 17 percent of high school seniors now smoking daily (Brody, 1993, p. 17).
The above statistics will be examined in view of the health..."

Smoking, 2002.
A paper which examines the causes and effects of smoking tobacco.

Abstract
The causes of smoking are proven to be social and psychological in nature, and these causes are often passed on as ?physical need? when a smoker becomes addicted with smoking. This paper examines the most common causes of a person becoming addicted to tobacco smoke, including the need to relax, and the need for a psychological image of 'cool' among youngsters. The paper also examines the effects of smoking, ranging from economic benefits to the tobacco industry, the bad mental and physical effects on the human body and a general burden on society.
From the Paper
"These reasons are the underlying causes why smoking remains to be a popular social human activity. But its harmful effects are not advertised or advocated by the media, because it will effectively decrease cigarette sales if smoking is proven and prevalently known that it is a harmful and dangerous activity. Smoking can affect the physical, psychological, and emotional health of an individual. The physical effects of smoking is already a public knowledge among smokers, but the psychological and emotional effects of smoking is still refuted, but studies have been conducted that proves that smoking can cause distress and depression to smokers. There is also the growing issue of ?second-hand smoking,? wherein non-smokers are in greater risk of acquiring respiratory diseases through the inhalation of smoke coming from smokers. This issue illustrates how smoking not only affects the smoker, but other people, and the society as well."

"To monitor and evaluate this policy, there are various methods that can be employed. If the proposed policy is implemented as described above, there will be a need for an agency or a special task force to regulate the policy and ensure its successful implementation. Power will need to be vested in this agency to not only respond to complaints, but also to conduct random inspections. As part of the evaluation process, reports can also be compiled on bars and clubs at monthly intervals to gauge the effect of the policy on the health of bar and club employees. Reports would also be needed to assess the impact of the proposed policy on other factors such as bar trade and patronage. By ensuring careful monitoring and evaluation methods occur, the process of implementing the proposed policy will be more effective and manageable."

Looks at the dangers of smoking and how to stop it.

Abstract
This paper explains that, before the smoking epidemic can be stopped, people must first be able to understand what tobacco is and how it affects their health. The paper first describes the production of tobacco products and what makes them so harmful and then examines the common tobacco-caused deaths, including lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis and numerous other complications. The paper also points out that one of the greatest struggles with smoking is passive or second hand smoke, which is called environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). The paper concludes that the best way to overcome these problems is to educate people about the dangers of smoking not only to their health but also to the people around them.
From the Paper
"ETS affects everyone differently, but it can have the greatest impact on children and young adults. If a mother decides to smoke during her pregnancy, it may result in many complications for the child further on in life. It was determined that if a pregnant woman smokes two packs of cigarettes a day she will be blocking off forty percent of her unborn child's oxygen supply. It has also been determined that if all women decide to quit smoking while they are pregnant it could save up to 4,000 babies each year."

Cigarette Smoking in Canada, 2007.
An analysis of the reasons why Canadians begin smoking, continue smoking and quit smoking.

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
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."

Click here to show/hide summary
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.

Conclusion
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."

" Smoking and Politics in California
This paper will examine the struggle over smoking in California as it has been fought by the antismoking groups, or non-smokers' rights groups, and the smokers rights groups, particularly the tobacco industry. California currently has laws requiring the setting aside of smoking areas in public buildings and food establishments ("California Health and Saf." 25940-25947) and prohibits smoking in the passenger areas of trains, buses, streetcars, and airplanes ("Califor. Publ. Utils. Code"). During the past few years, however, antismoking groups have been waging a battle to enact more stringent smoking bans in public places and to restrict the availability of tobacco products.
The antismoking groups have been comprised mainly of health organizations, educational interests, and environmental groups.."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper stresses on the harmful effects of tobacco smoking including the major diseases and disorders associated with it. It discusses how cigarettes are harmful to the smoker himself and also impose a drain on the economy that far outweighs the benefit they provide. It examines the chemical makeup of the leading cause of death in the United States and analyzes the large sums of health care costs and productivity losses related to smoking. It also looks at the legal stance of smoking and how no law in the United States of America punishes smokers for causing the death of another through second hand smoke although some states have taken steps to restrict smoking in public places.
From the Paper
"How is a cigarette harmful? A typical cigarette contains four thousand chemicals, two hundred of which are known poisons, and forty-three carcinogens, or substances that cause cancer. Some of the poisons in cigarette smoke include acetone, the chemical used in nail-polish remover, nicotine, an extremely addictive chemical found in insecticide, benzene, a petrol additive, ammonia, a chemical used in toilet cleaners, and arsenic, the main ingredient in rat poison (?Harmful Chemicals? n. pag.). When a cigarette is lit, the tobacco catches on fire and produces a hot, noxious smoke, filled with such poisons, that is inhaled by the smoker. This smoke fills the lungs and deprives the brain of oxygen, and the burning temperature of the smoke causes damage to cells in the lungs and other places, opening the door for cancer to set in. Naturally, the poisons in the smoke have an adverse effect on the health of the smoker. Lung cancer, emphysema, coronary heart disease, stroke, and larynx cancer are a few of the numerous illnesses caused by cigarette smoking (Howell 26-27)."
