Protecting employees rights benefit both the employees and the business by limiting the misunderstanding that may occur in the work place. I In this paper, I will explain how I would handle the situation if I were Charles Renfold, describe the policy on smoking that I would recommend, explain how this case would change if the situation was not about old smoke but the smell of Alice’s perfume or Frank’s body odor and explain whether it is fair or reasonable to ban employees from smoking in their cars in company parking lot. Explain how you would handle this situation if you were Charles Renfold. Mr. Renford had already explained that the law in their state requires a smoke free work area and that his area was smoke free.

Darlene is being insubordinate by dictating what she will not do to her supervisor, which cannot...

...Smoke Alarms Each year most people are in disbelief and doubt that something as critical as a fire could happen to them, this skepticism has led to more deaths and property damage than should have occurred. In the current generation smoke alarms are mandatory and advancements to the technology have been occurring rapidly. With the use of smoke detectors, firefighters have been more successful in the saving of lives and the protection of property. Even with smoke detectors getting more technologically advanced, researchers have still been looking into many more changes regarding smoke detectors audio alarm. The National Fire Protection Association also reports that homes with smoke detectors display significant differences than homes without smoke detectors. In 1930, a Swiss physicist named Walter Jaeger developed the first smoke detector by trying to develop an alarm to detect poisonous gases. Jaeger’s first attempt to detect the poisonous gases failed and he decided to take a break and have a cigarette. After the ignition of his cigarette, the smoke entered Jaegers device and it activated. Jaegers unintentional discovery of the smoke detector allowed room for advancement in fire alarm technology. Such advancement was in 1967, the first battery-powered smoke detector was created making it easily installed and replaced. In the 1960’s most businesses and public buildings had them equipped, and by 1969, the battery smoke detector received its first UL rating. During the...

...Zubura Zubura etting high on marijuana has been happening for Centuries. Here we take a look at what we call the 3 Levels of HIGH on Cannabis. We specify marijuana for obvious reasons. Once you have read these descriptions, we hope you'll agree and see (in your own experience) how we have come to these accurate conclusions. Below you will find our description of basically what happens when you smoke marijuana, and what happens when you continue to indulge. Some believe there are more than 3 levels of getting high, and they have every reason as marijuana affects everyone a little differently. The apparatus you choose to smoke your pot in will vary. While this can influence the rate at which you attain these levels, it does not negate the fact that you go through each one to experience the next (no matter ho ractice: Limited to taking only two or possibly three hits (tokes, inhales, etc.) Effect: This is the first level experienced in getting high on pot. You catch a nice, calm, enjoyable, floaty, buzz. First time users may claim to be stoned. This buzz practice is good for the daily user who begins their day with a buzz (not to be confused with "wake & bake" - see Stoned). Catching a Buzz is not enough to get burnt out, and yet you have not truly reached the Level of High (so to speak). You can revisit your joint or pipe later and refresh your buzz by taking a couple more hits. This can be continued through-out the day with few (if any) ill effects. Explanation:...

...Many people around the world smoke marijuana. Some people think it is right while others, like myself, think it is wrong. I believe that marijuana negatively affects teens, is dangerous, and costs way too much for what it is worth. The main ingredient of marijuana is THC, which quickly travels rom the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the organs and throughout the body. In about every high school 42% of teens have tried marijuana. When the teens smoke the marijuana it sends a chemical into the bloodstream that ends up going into the brain and makes the person act unusual. They lose concentration and are not motivated to do their schoolwork. Research’s show that students do not remember what they have learned while they are “high” on marijuana. This leads to them dropping out of high school. Teens are also affected by peer pressure from their peers to try marijuana. Most teens’ friends say, “smoke this and if you do not we are not friends,” so most of the time the teen will smoke it. After smoking the marijuana for a long period of time, the teen will become addicted. Students who smoke marijuana have twice the odds of being a dropout and have trouble finding jobs, getting involved in gangs and crime. Also, when teens smoke marijuana it usually leads them to trying heavier drugs. Marijuana leads to car accidents, fires, and murders. Research’s say that no one has died from the use of marijuana, but if the user of marijuana is driving he or she is most...

...types of psychiatric disorders, especially depression. Studies have also shown that marijuana can drastically disrupt brain development and that constantly smoking marijuana causes abnormal brain structure. The brain is the most important part of the body, why risk damaging it over a drug? Any type of smoke harms the lungs, this includes marijuana. Toxins and carcinogens are released form the combustion of materials. Smoke from the combustion of marijuana is no exception. A quote from the American Lung Association says, “Smoking marijuana clearly damages the human lung. Research shows that smoking marijuana causes chronic bronchitis and marijuana smoke has been shown to injure the cell linings of the large airways, which could explain why smoking marijuana leads to symptoms such as chronic cough, phlegm production, wheeze and acute bronchitis.” Marijuana smoke contains many of the harmful chemicals that are in tobacco smoke. While it has never been proven that marijuana causes lung cancer, respiratory problems have been linked to people who have been smoking marijuana for a long amount of time. Many people with psychiatric disorders, especially depression, are prone to smoke marijuana. Depressed people say that it helps them cope and helps out with their feelings. While marijuana may help you relax for a few hours and give the impression that your problems are fixed, that is not true. Marijuana does not make depression or any other disorder disappear, it just blocks out the...

...characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lung by process of metastasis into nearby tissue or other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in the lung, known as primary lung cancers, are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells. The main primary types are small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), also called oat cell cancer, and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The most common symptoms are coughing (including coughing up blood), weight loss, shortness of breath, and chest pains.[1] The most common cause is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke,[2] which causes 80–90% of lung cancers.[1] Nonsmokers account for 10–15% of lung cancer cases,[3] and these cases are often attributed to a combination of genetic factors,[4] and exposure to; radon gas,[4] asbestos,[5] and air pollution[4] including second-hand smoke.[6][7] Lung cancer may be seen on chest radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans. The diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy[8] which is usually performed by bronchoscopy or CT-guidance. Treatment and long-term outcomes depend on the type of cancer, the stage (degree of spread), and the person's overall health, measured by performance status. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. NSCLC is sometimes treated with surgery, whereas SCLC usually responds better to chemotherapy and...

...Nathan Terry 2/25/15 The decisions that led up to me being in this situation were, I want to smoke, I have some money, so pretty much I decided I was going to smoke some marijuana and relax the rest of the night. The consequences I believe this occurrence has on me as an individual is something that is able to be noticed. I do not believe my actions affect the College community because it is my choice the only reason it affects the College community is because I am a college kid who is able to do many things and I take control of my own life. I learned that the homework I had to do was all one-sided. The potential consequences that my actions may have had on me would possibly jeopardize my chances of getting a really good job right out of college because I got caught with some marijuana. Having something like a marijuana possession ticket on your record could potentially cause you to not get a certain job that you may be better qualified for than another individual. That being said all I have to do is be more careful if I choose to continue making the choice of smoking or consuming marijuana. My decision making and awareness of the College policy has been affected in a small way. I know that marijuana is not supposed to be on a college campus and from now on I will make sure it will not be on or around me on this campus in the future. My decision making I guess was also changed a little as in just not doing anything on or around campus so then I save myself the time...

...do some illegal things. For example, a couple of them smoked marijuana frequently, and constantly tried to pressure me into doing it as well. Additionally, they went to parties that often had alcohol; and they would drink as well. I offered them advice on several occasions that they should not be using these substances. When it comes to marijuana and alcohol, I am completely against it. I’ve never smoked or drank alcohol in my life, mostly because of religious reasons, even with all the pressure I received from some friends I had. It started to get more than I could handle when one of my friends invited some of us over to play some video games. Not even 20 minutes into being at his house, they began to pull out marijuana and started to smoke it, while I was in the room. I asked them to not do that right there, but they insisted on doing it there and then. So I left, and I am very glad I did. From that point on, I was stuck between remaining friends with these guys who I had known for quite some years, and putting up with their use of drugs around me, or saying so long and stop affiliating myself with them. So one of the most difficult decisions of my life, I had to completely cut off these friends from my life. At the time, I wanted to turn back, and find a way to resolve it, but I realized that I had already tried...

...dangerous and harmful. It is important to education each other as much as possibe to help prevent injries or deadly accidents. There are four stages that happen in every fire. Those stages are Incipient, Growth, Fully Developed, and Decay. Each stage plays a role in every fire. Understanding each stage, and how to handle or prevent it is critical in becoming in control of a fire. Flameovers and backdrafts are not consider stages, but also are definitely factors of a fire. These factors sometimes can be prevented. Some methods of prevention are taugh at fire academies, or fire schools, to new firefighters, and are constistly being developed. Incipient, also know as the "ignition" stage, is the first stage of a fire. In this stage smoke may began before the fire actually flames up. This is the stage where heat, oxygen, and a fuel source combine to ignite the fire. At this stage it can be controlled by a household fire extinguinsher. Growth is the second stage of a fire. With the initial flame used as a heat sourse, more flames flare up. Flaring up makes the size of the fire increase and the plume reaches the ceiling. In a room hot gases meet at the celing of the roomwhich cause all fuels in that room to be closer to its ignition temperature. In which the fire will eventually spread. During this growth stage is when a flashover can happen. Flashovers occur when a room or other areas becomes heated to the point where flames flashover the entire surface. Temperatures...

...who think marijuana is safer than smoking a cigarette are terribly wrong. In fact, marijuana, over a long debate has been proven that it does gives respiratory problems similar to a cigarette. Not only does it give respiratory problems, but also brain damage, memory losses, and much more. In addition, marijuana is popular amongst young teenager who are either being cool or peer pressure. Marijuana is bad in every aspect, but people addicted to marijuana tries to justify that it is safe for their own convenience. People, who is addicted marijuana, will do anything to make marijuana look innocent. But in truth, marijuana is not safe at all.
