...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. Just a few of the most unbelievable ingredients a cigarette contains are but not limited to “Ammonia;...

...I once listened to a speech where ethics were involved that affected me as a listener. It was an informative speech cautioning smokers to smoke in designated areas only. Although I am not a smoker, there were times that the speaker alienated smokers. The speaker stated that for the second time in three months, this facility suffered a fire in close proximity to a building. The first fire was caused by the careless disposal of a cigarette butt and the second fire is still officially under investigation by the fire department; however, preliminary findings point to the exact same cause - careless disposal of a cigarette butt in an area outside a designated smoking area. The callous disregard of smoking regulations on the part of a minority of employees represents a direct threat to the safety and livelihoods of other employees. I cannot and will not continue to turn a blind eye to these threats. My primary responsibilities revolve around the safety and health of our valued employees, and the successful execution of our vital work. He went on to say he would not permit the behavior of a few careless or malicious people who violate our existing smoking policies and regulations to jeopardize the workforce and the mission. For those who continue to ignore the existing policies and regulations governing smoking on these premises will not continue to be warned. If someone is caught breaking the rules, there will be no verbal or written counseling. He or she will be subject to...

...Ethics and Freedom of Speech: How they Function in Cigarette and Electronic Cigarette Campaigns Understanding ethics and freedom of speech are vitally important when undertaking a PR campaign. This was not the case for neither Edward L. Bernay’s “Torches of Freedom” campaign nor the electronic cigarette campaign mentioned in the assignment description. In many ways, both campaigns are unethical to participate in. However, the “Torches of Freedom” campaign is much more unethical due to societies lack of knowledge of smoking’s dangers at the time and the American public’s heightened awareness and cautiousness of substance abuse dangers that came about in following centuries. Ethics of E-cigs vs. Torches of Freedom Campaign From an ethical...

...The Effects of Smoking during Pregnancy Cassandra Buckner National American University Abstract There are many dangers to an unborn child that can follow them the rest of their lives from maternal smoking. Many studies and significant research shows smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of a long list of problems. Still birth is the most common complication, but placental dysfunctional, premature labor and low birth weight are also problems that can harm the fetus. Over 40% of children studied also had some form of heart defect. Exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy has also been linked to SIDS. Birth defects such as cleft palate and cleft lip can be caused from smoking while pregnant as well as your child being diagnosed with asthma. Speech defects as well as behavioral problems such as ADD/ADHD also play a role in maternal smoking. No one would give an infant a cigarette, so why would we while carrying our child smoke? Smoking during pregnancy can harm both the baby and the mother. Most would do anything to protect their child. Yet many women, who feel this way, continue to smoke while pregnant, insisting that the dangers are non-existent. In reality, there are many dangers to an unborn child that can follow them for the rest of their lives, if they survive gestation, and birth. Miscarriages, low birth weight, premature labor, and organ defects are just a few things that can plague the child of a smoking mother. There are many studies, and significant...

...bans promotional advertising by an electrical utility, 447 U.S. 557, which is closely related to the tobacco cases. Several opinions presented by Judge Powell can apply in these cases. First, in applying the First Amendment to this area, Judge Powell rejected the “highly paternalistic” view that government has complete power to suppress or regulate commercial speech. Second, the Judge also believed that if the communication is neither misleading nor related to unlawful activity, the government’s power is more restricted. The government agency must assert a substantial interest to be achieved by restrictions on commercial speech. Moreover, the regulatory technique must be in proportion to that interest. Furthermore, the Central Hudson case set the standards as for whether a governmental restriction on speech is constitutionally admissible. It also provided several tests as for whether the restriction is constitutionally admissible. The Central Hudson case, as a key precedent, also developed a four-part analysis for similar cases. a) Determine whether the expression is protected by the First Amendment. For commercial speech to come within that provision, it at least must concern lawful activity and not be misleading. b) Examine whether the asserted governmental interest is substantial. c) If both inquiries yield positive answers, we must determine whether the regulation directly advances the governmental interest asserted and d) whether it is not more extensive than is necessary...

...Stephen Sung 4/26/2011 Speech 100 JC Commemorative Speech Outline Joe, a Friend, an Inspiration, a Hero. Introduction Have you ever done something out of peer pressure from a friend or family member? My friend Joe has. In his case, that something was cigarettes. “According to the American Lung Association, as of 2007 20% of high school students and over forty-six million adults (18+) were current smokers” (Lung). Joe started smoking when he was 14 years old because all of his friends were doing it. He has battled with this addiction for most of his adult life. So, why is he a hero? For starters I am a current smoker and have been smoking for the better part of eight years. Most importantly, he is an inspiration because he is the only I person I know who has successfully quit smoking. Even though we've been friends for a long time, I had never thought to ask him about why he started and how he was finally able to free himself from his nicotine addiction. Body (Preview): It started the summer of 1999, the summer before our freshman year of high school. Joe began smoking cigarettes when he was fourteen years old. A) He was peer pressured into smoking his first cigarette by our mutual friends. 1) He felt that if he turned down the cigarette, he would be ostracized from that group of friends and forced to go through his high school years as a loser. 2) He figured that if had to resort to smoking to survive high school then so be it. B) Through...

...people's individual diseases, it also means changing and preventing harmful behaviours which can improve and even save people's lives.” (Hscic.gov.uk, 2015) Health Care Campaigns help the well-being of individuals. Stoptober and the new smoking law Stoptober is a campaign which is England wide. The campaign encourages smokers across England to take up the challenge to stop smoking for 28 days. Celebrity Stoptober advocates, including the former England football player Ian Wright, Al Murray and Paddy McGuiness have pledged their support for the innovative campaign. Promotion of the campaign, which is backed by Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation, includes ads on TV, radio and in the press, plus national media partnerships, posters, and in-pharmacy literature. People joining the campaign are able to receive support from a Stoptober pack, an online and smartphone app and a 28-day text support service. Research shows those who stop smoking for 28 days are 5 times more likely to stay smoke free. Stoptober will lend a hand to help smokers achieve this goal.

...Popular culture bad?, Shady? ad maybe a bad influence? The answer is yes to all the above, however; its great that America even allows freedom of speech and freedom of expression and all the blame can't be put only on popular culture. Popular culture is any where and everywhere. Its present as soon as you awake. Look in your closet what made you buy the clothes you wear, look at your music library how did you choose all those songs you have, turn on ur T.V what show did you watch last night? Popular culture in America is extremely crucial on the young minds of the world. Look on T.V Jersey Shore is most likely the number one watched show by adolescent teens. Teenagers idolize these people and their messages which are, to drink get wasted, party all night, and be as sleezy as you can be. Sex is a major icon in everything today for example its in music, definetly on T.V, definetly in movies, and believe it or not the clothes most teenagers where can be veiwed as sexual because of the shortness and tightness girls go for today. how could any of these reasons be any good for the children of today and tomorrow. The future for these teenagers and young children look just as bad as the shows they watch. Although there are many cons towards America's popular culture there are some good points. Artists in america can hav freedom of speech and can express themselves freely. America should also not put all of the blame on popular cultutre it is...

R.J Reynolds Tobacco Co VS the FDA was a case against the act in stating being limited by speech, or graphics is against the first amendment. Visuals are key in advertising it helps hold the attention of the viewer. For over fifty years the government has required some form of health warning on tobacco packaging, and advertisements. In the 1979, Camels ad its most evident of the health risk warning, by the warning label print on the front of the ad. The congress passed the Tobacco Control Act in order to reform the language used in advertisements so the general public “be intelligent and well informed” () Since the 1940s ads progressively gained more attention with underlying tones of one of the basic needs appeals as told in fowles article. The Reynolds case caused a chain reaction in the tobacco community. In 2011 five other companies followed suit, trying to appeal the act. The argument that emotion conflicting ads helped the companies to overshadow misleading facts about cigarettes was leading evidence in the final decision. In 2012 Zauderer Vs. Office of Disciplinary Counsel is a case that was apart of the domino fact, as an appeal to the Tobacco Control Act. Zauderer presented his case from a different perspective. Judge Leon noted that “compelled speech” is “presumptively unconstitutional” and is typically...
