...Maya began to smoke the burning tobacco. Columbus discovered the new world in 1492 and found Indian people smoking tobacco. After that, tobacco has become commercial crops gradually. Cigarette was born. In the past 200 years, smoking has become an important social means. Not only adults from different industries and different class smoke, but more and more minor students also start smoking. To be honest, I hate smoking. Every time I smell someone is smoking, I always frown and leave the smoking area as soon as possible. But by my side, there are many friends, classmates and family members are smokers. But why do they enjoy smoking? “Nicotine is the drug in tobacco that causes addiction. It is absorbed and enters the bloodstream, through the lungs when smoke is inhaled… Nicotine is a psychoactive drug with stimulant effects on the electrical activity of the brain. It also has calming effects, especially at times of stress, as well as effects on hormonal and other systems throughout the body… Smoking doses of nicotine causes activation of "pleasure centers" in the brain, which may explain the pleasure, and addictiveness of smoking” (“Smoking: how to stop”). This paragraph explains the reason for smoking addiction. It seems that abstain from cigarette is really a hard task. My grandfather, however, had an experience about giving up smoking successfully. My grandfather’s smoking age was 40 years when he retired at 60 years old. It was an afternoon in the summer ten years ago...

...Late in the summer of 2015, merely a week before I had to go to college, we once again went on a trip to the land purchased five years prior. We packed the same RV and rode in the same vehicle as in the last trip. As we left and got on the road, I wondered what the land, that I hadn’t seen in five years, would look like and to what degree the brush had populated it. I-90 traverses from Seattle and continues east across the country. Along this highway, dense trees give way to mountain views and lakes as it climbs up to Snoqualmie pass. Snow remains visible on higher peaks that jut up out of the earth even during the summer. Mountains are visible from all around as I-90 continues through the Cascade mountains toward Eastern Washington, where the lush mountain forests give way to an arid desert plain and the roads run straight for miles on end. Sand dunes appear orange in the distance as the sun sets. Irrigated fields of grapes and various other crops flank the highway. An occasional wind farm with a multitude of...

...I was sleeping on the couch with Josh when I heard my Uncle try to wake me up. “Daeg” he murmured, gently trying to wake me up. I slowly twisted my neck towards him, peering at him with judgement. It was finally summer vacation. I didn’t need to wake up. What on Earth could he have possibly wanted? I turned away and tightly wrapped and entangled myself in my blanket, like a human burrito. Oddly enough, as I was going back to sleep, there was a smoky smell that scratched at my throat. I can lie to myself and say anyone would’ve been too tired to notice the smell, but in reality I was just too tired to want to do anything about it. I was curled up on the couch when my Mom stampeded into the room and hissed at me. “Daeg!” Immediately, I threw off my blankets out of fear of my mother’s outburst. I stood there, wide-eyed and barefoot in my Hannah Montana nightgown. She snapped again “Get your clothes on and get in the car! There’s smoke everywhere!” and ran out. I didn’t understand. Smoke? Why was there smoke? I pitter-pattered into the kitchen to see everything was foggy and grey. I glimpsed at the kitchen clock. 5:12 AM. Why was I being woken up at 5:12...

...Exotic Smokes Cigarette Company Consumer Behavior Outline Melissa G Tindall University of Phoenix MKT/544 Fall Semester Lung cancer and illness associated with smoking (even second-hand-smoke) continue to climb; however, there is still popularity with flavored cigarettes within certain age groups. Exotic Smokes Cigarette Company has requested a study on how to attract the 18 to 25 year old age group, to candy and fruit flavored cigarettes. This outline will discuss competition, marketing strategies, program objectives and the scope of the research. The competition is rather scarce, as flavored cigarettes are banned in the United States (Quinn. 2009). So, if the ban is lifted in 2013, this makes the Exotic Smokes company a step ahead of all others. Now is the time to look into European competition, as it is possible for those in the states to bring these cigarettes back in a checked bag. If the ban is lifted, they may purchase these brands in the states instead of the ESCC brand. Honeyrose Herbal Cigarettes would be the obvious brand to look into, they offer flavored cigarettes such as Strawberry, Cherry, and Chocolate (Clove Smokes. 2012). Camel had recently made cigarettes with flavors like mocha mint, lime and vanilla (Szabo. 2005), however they are banned from the market as well. Other flavors were created by companies like Brown and Williamson and Kool. Once the market opens up again, they will be back on the market. The marketing strategy should be fairly...

...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 the first couple years of high school, he could get by smoking one or two cigarettes a day. 1) By senior year, smoking had become an addiction, he didn't choose when to smoke, cigarettes made that decision for him. 2)Eventually, his addiction got so bad that his weekly allowance money wasn't enough to cover cigarettes and lunch. a) So he decided to skip lunches entirely....

...ENGL 101 Essay #2-Illustration Summer 2011 My Faithful Friend The addiction to smoking cigarettes surmounts over the life of a smoker. What began as a meaningless childhood habit of doing something you’re not supposed to do, turned into an addiction that’s almost impossible to quit, and will probably be the nails that seal my coffin. As a child the addiction was actually not that of the actual cigarettes. My first memory of smoking was in fifth grade. I was at school with another boy out in a field beyond the playground lying in a ditch. I had brought the cigarettes and matches that I had lifted off my older brother. We each had smoked about half of the cigarette when the bell rang and we had to rush back. I was sitting in class and the teacher was pacing around my desk stating that she smelled smoke. I persistently denied smelling smoke and she eventually went back to teaching the class. I remember the feeling of almost getting caught--the excitement, the rush, almost like a high. At this point early in my addiction, I wasn’t addicted to the cigarettes but to the thrill of doing something wrong and getting away with it. As I grew older, my teens turned into twenties. I was old enough to legally smoke, and the “thrill” slowly faded into a physical addiction. The overwhelming feeling that I needed it set in. It calmed me, relaxed me, and comforted me. Everything I did, everywhere I went, I HAD to smoke. I would wake every morning to a cup of coffee...

...effective and added to the growing concerns on campus over continuing exposure to second hand smoke. This led to discussions between students and faculty and staff alike about becoming a smoke free campus. In the early fall of 2011, the Vice Chancellor’s Office for Student Affairs began to solicit feedback from various constituencies on campus to determine whether or not there was broad support for such an effort. During the following fall semester, a proposal for a smoke-free campus received support from the Provost’s Office, the Academic Deans, all 14 departments within the Division of Student Affairs, The Executive Director of the Alumni Association, the ASB Senate, and the ASB President. In the spring of 2012, the proposal received support from the Faculty Senate and the Staff Council. During the spring semester, the ASB Senate passed a formal resolution supporting the implementation of a Smoke-Free Policy on the Ole Miss campus. With such campus wide support evident, Chancellor Dan Jones asked Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Larry Ridgeway to call together a “Smoke-Free Campus Policy Implementation Committee”. The committee convened for the first time on May 7, 2012 and met regularly throughout that summer. By the end of July 2012, the committee had refined the policy to its current form and presented it to the Chancellor for approval, which was received. The University’s new Smoke-Free Policy began with soft implementation on August 1, 2012, without citations for infractions...

...Atmospheric Issues Kristen Ault SCI/275 11-18-12 Brian Taylor Ozone Depletion The atmospheric issues that we are facing are now becoming more of a major problem now more than ever. The biggest major issue I believe we are facing is ozone depletion and it is depleting at an alarming rate. We now have major holes where the ozone molecules have been ripped to shreds by chlorine and bromine. (National Geographic) The biggest ozone hole is over the Antarctic which has been getting bigger since the mid 80’s. The biggest contributor of producing these deadly chemicals, are the industrialists that use aerosol sprays that contain the chemical chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s). The government has recently within the last 16 years started to face this on- going problem and banned CFC’s from being used. This reduced the percentage rate of the chemical chlorine but experts still say it will take another 50 years for that chemical to balance itself back out. Even so the damage has already been done and the ozone molecules will not heal which means our earth’s protective layer will never be rebuilt. All we can do now is do everything we can to save what protective layer we have left...

... Various diseases like sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, hypertension, overweight, hay fever, allergies such as rhinitis, eczema and other respiratory diseases are caused by numerous factors such as inadequate ventilation system, chemicals, inefficient heating and Colling system, dampness due to leakage, moulds, pollen grain, smoke and other pollutants. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 30% of excess winter deaths in Europe are due to cold homes. Energy conservation can be related to health because it often involves repairing or replacement of heating and cooling equipment to increase efficiency and reduce the generation of pollutants such as carbon monoxide improvement of ventilation to remove contaminants air sealing and improvement of building envelopes, which can often reduce moisture leaks from the exterior, and reducing moisture from the dwellings (Wilson et al., 2014). We spend our most of the time indoors and a study on indoor risk factors for asthma and allergies in the home environment among adults and children have focused mainly on building dampness and indoor mould and environmental tobacco smoke. Another sources of indoor contamination is associated with adult asthma includes storage of household waste for several days. Chemical indoor factors at home associated with adult asthma include formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds and emissions from indoor paint and household cleaning sprays, leakage of gasoline emissions from garages...

...Lancaster (2012) community health “is the meeting of collective needs by indentifying problems and managing behaviors within the community itself and between the community and the larger society”. Lastly, community partnerships involves actively participating members of the community, by allowing them to participate rather than be the subjects, members of the community have more of a chance to take control of their health and influence others. All of the above definitions have an important role in public health nursing and understanding the community as a whole. The family I chose for this project is a blended family, which included three of the children living in the house and two others who are there during the holidays and over the summer. The environment of which the family lived in seemed to be kid friendly, very active in school and community activities. Both parents are actively involved in functions with the children, such as sports and school. The community around, from my observations, seemed to be overall healthy and kid friendly. A vulnerable population in the community could be...

As a general rule, our homes turn out to be significantly hotter than the outside air temperature...

...The Absolem Neighbor It was difficult to stand up against the crowd when my new neighbor moved in next door. The summer after sixth grade, a new neighbor moved in next door. At first when Sarah moved in, she seemed like a nice, sweet, and fun girl. We spent quite a bit of time together within the first week and we had the same personality. We had a lot of the same interests. She always talked very badly about people who smoked. She talked about it often, which I thought was very strange. One day Sarah asked me to walk to the park with her. My dilemma was that I really wanted her to like me, but I did not know her that well. I went with her anyway. Once we got there her new boyfriend was there with three other guys. Sarah asked me if I wanted...
