A plan is developed to change this habit and is clearly explained in detail, and between behavioral and social/cognitive theories the author describes which one explains his or her personality. A habit that was developed deals with smoking, and it has been going on throughout my entire family for several years. The habit was developed because of older siblings smoking and inviting the younger sibling to join in the smoking festivities. The role models for this bad habit that formed over these years were two male teenagers who had the responsibility of babysitting there younger sister while the mom was at work for several hours a day and night. The habit was adopted because the older male siblings use to blow smoke in the younger female sibling’s face starting at the age of 3 years old. They were young teenagers who liked to hang out with their friends, smoke, and blow it in her face in order to get their sister to fall asleep. The two brothers were young teenagers who learned the bad habit of smoking from their father who condoned it, and let their friends come over to his house and they all smoked together.

...the past, many people think that smoking is a sign of coolness, but in fact it just damages the health. For a long time, researchers have been researching on cigarettes to find out what ingredients are contained in them. Cigarettes contain nicotine which is an addictive substance that makes smokers feel hard to quit. Smoking is not only a bad habit but also wastes money. Therefore, smoking is considered as the destruction of health. First of all, smoking damages the lungs, the heart and causes other diseases, in addition; you will learn several reasons why we need to ban smoking. The most important reason why we need to ban smoking is the effects of it on smokers and second-hand smokers. According to statistics tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 400,000 Americans die each year from diseases caused by cigarette smoking. The biggest killers are lung cancer and other smoking-related cancers, and heart disease. Tobacco causes more deaths than AIDS, illegal drug use, alcohol abuse, motor vehicle injuries, suicides and murders combined. In addition, over a 5 year-period, 2 million Americans die because of smoking cigarettes and tobacco. To non-smokers, breathing the air from smokers is terrifying because they only take the bad smoke from them. They even get a higher rate of diseases from that smoke. Thus, to the children, breathing the smoke the risks increase for childhood illness such as asthma and ear infections. Smoking affects the health of pregnancy...

...Rhetorical Analysis of the Anti-Smoking Advertisements Joshua Martinez DeVry University ENG-112-64585 Anti-smoking advertisements occasionally pop up throughout our society which is often showing the viewers the harmful effects of tobacco through startling images. This advertisement uses the elements of ethos, pathos, and logos in order to make people rethink about smoking. The video advertisement uses children to make a point across by showing real scenarios on the effects of smoking. It shows that the commonplace for smoking, in today’s time, is acceptable for teenagers to smoke and jump to an assumption that children are starting to try it. Once the children are introduced into this advertisement pathos is also introduced. It shows that the innocent can be tainted with smoking and brings in fear to the audience. Ethos falls into play when the children are appealing to the adults that they want a lighter to smoke. Children are viewed as innocent and when a child wants to do something that destroys that innocence, adults, try to stop it. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of this advertisement was the children asking the adult for a cigarette which created the audience something that is worth seeing. When the kids asked for a lighter, pathos gets involved as the adults asks the children if they are being serious and refuses to give them one. The adults then respond with various reasons why smoking cigarettes is unhealthy...

...Smoking during Pregnancy COMM/215 It is a well-known fact that smoking while pregnant is a bad idea. It is unhealthy for someone who isn’t pregnant and therefore unhealthy for the unborn baby a pregnant woman carries. Many women, despite knowing this well-known fact, have continued smoking during their pregnancy. They would rather feed their addiction than to keep their child healthy and it is immensely wrong. It is unbelievable how women are willing to risk the life of their unborn child just to inhale nicotine. There are so many reasons why smoking during pregnancy is wrong, birth defects, miscarriage and stillbirth, and the risk of the baby developing lung problems. With all of these side effects combined, it seems it would be an obvious conclusion for women to not smoke while pregnant. Smoking is a bad choice to make. Cigarettes are addictive and cause cancer. Smoking while pregnant is not just a bad choice for the mother to make, but also a bad choice for her baby. It is one thing for someone to risk their own heath, and another thing to risk the life of an unborn baby. “A woman who smokes while being pregnant is more than 50% more likely to expose her unborn child to an infection within the womb in comparison to a non-smoker, as the smoker’s Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) is 1.67 compared to the non-smoker.”( Mund, Louwen, Klingelhoefer, & Gerber, 2013). While it is a well-known fact that smoking during pregnancy is a bad idea, recent studies have shown just...

...Keep simple and polite! Good morning teachers and friends, I, Ahmad Khairi Hafiz as the President of the Environment Club would like to talk about”How to Protect the Environment” First of all, each one of us can start by not littering. We should throw our rubbish into the rubbish bin instead of anywhere we like. Once I went strolling at a park nearby my house but was dissapointed at the sight of rubbish.I saw many empty cans and plastic wrappers lying around.They do not only spoil the beautiful park but they are the best breeding place for aedes mosquitoes. Another way of protecting our environment is by keeping our rivers clean. We can play our role by not throwing rubbish into the rivers. Meanwhile the factories can stop dumping their toxic waste into them. Plastic wrappers which made up 80 percent of the rubbish can endanger the fish and other aquatic lives while toxic waste can kill them. We, human will consequently suffer as we rely on the rivers for food and water. Moreover, farmers should avoid open burning in their farming practice because it polutes the air.Open burning can lead to haze which contains poisonous gases such as carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide. These gases can cause many serious diseases. Children who breathe the polluted air may suffer from asthma and some people may even suffer from rashes and eye-diseases. Finally, we can practice the 3R; Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. Every household should aim at reducing the amount of rubbish thrown.To...

...Cigarettes Are Bad In today’s world you see cigarettes almost everywhere. There are cigarette breaks at work, and people saying “Man I really need a cigarette after that.” This is great for the big tobacco companies, but not for the cigarette smokers themselves. More people become smokers every day, which means more and more people die each year from smoking cigarettes. Smoking can cause multiple different cancers. Smoking also increases heart rate and blood pressure, and strains the heart, which can cause a heart attack or stroke. Tar build up can also occur and it rips through your lungs like soot in a chimney, and can cause lung cancer. Smoking can also cause many diseases including emphysema, bronchitis, etc. Some people today are trying to find ways to stop smoking. Some ways include patches, gum, and medicines. Sure, scientists have made an impact on spreading the cons of smoking, but each day someone continues to light up, and each day someone new dies from long term smoking. Sarah A. Belstock, at Norris Health Center in the Health Promotion Services Department, and other authors, have spoken about advertising that influences health-related behaviors of college-aged individuals. Cigarette industries market to the youngest people that are able to buy cigarettes, college students.

...also known as Cannabis is one of the biggest drug in the U.S.A. and I believe it should be legalized because of certain reasons and examples that I have. First it’s a known fact that you can’t die from smoking weed A.K.A. Marijuana, second from experience and from other people, they said they haven’t heard people getting sick from smoking weed so it’s like helping you not getting you sick, the only thing that’s bad is the type of stuff u smoking out of, Last but not least I believe it would bring down crime rate in the U.S.A. I know for a fact that you cannot die from marijuana, the reason I say that is because I still haven’t heard a story or an article about somebody dying from smoking weed. Plus I know a lot of people that do smoke weed and they are perfectly fine. Even some people told me that smoking weed can help you out to a certain extinct; the reason why I say that is because I know that in hospital they give out weed to certain people that need it. Also it calms you down when you smoke marijuana so why not legalize it? This reason is the one that really made me say that marijuana is not bad for you because from experience and from other people I haven’t seen people or heard of people getting sick like that when they smoke marijuana I really don’t know the reason why, but I really need to get into that so I can find out because that is a good research question and project to do. My homeboy smoke marijuana all the time and he said he only got sick like 3 time the whole...

...The E-Cig WHY CIGARETTES ARE BAD… It is only common sense that smoking is bad for us. Not only is cigarette smoking one of the most avoidable causes of poor health and death in our world today. But “smoking puts your friends and family at risk. Approximately 50,000 adult non-smokers die each year from second hand smoke alone, 3,000 of which die from lung cancer.” (NIDA/tobaccofreekids.org) Did you know that smoking is the leading cause of death in the United States “approximately 443,000 deaths or 1 of every 5 deaths, in the United States each year.”(CDC) The people who die from smoking cigarettes alone is more than deaths related to alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. “An estimated 46 million people, 20.6% of all adults in the U.S. smoke cigarettes” (CDC) It is estimated that “over 6 million children in the U.S. under the age of 18 will ultimately die from smoking. There are also 8.6 million people in the U.S. who suffer from a smoking related illness.” (tobaccofreekids.org) The vast numbers of deaths and illnesses are caused by one thing, cigarettes, but it’s not the cigarette itself that is the problem it is the chemicals that are used to produce and manufacture the cigarette that are the initial problem. Did you know that the average smoke in a cigarette contains over 4,000 different chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer.

Do you think cigarette smoking should be banned? Each year 6 million people die alone from smoking cigarettes. Death and product defect are two reasons to abolish the sales of cigarettes. Each year, more and more wild fires are caused by cigarette butts from people. Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of lung cancer therefore deaths, lung cancer is almost entirely due to the use of low pH flue-cured tobacco in cigarettes.

The purpose of this article is about hoe cigarettes should be banned and why. Cigarette smoking has corrupted media that’s very popular, newspapers, and also magazines.
