That tobacco causes lung cancer and other forms of cancer has long been established and accepted by the health community and the general populace. Daniel Neal in his essay “Tobacco: Ignorance Is No Longer an Excuse” shows stats of public perceptions to indicate that we have moved on from the period when there was a debate of the dangers of tobacco (Neal, 2011). However, there are studies that have shown that tobacco use has other unwanted outcomes beyond just cancer and the better-known effects of smoking. A number of studies have linked tobacco use to depression.

As everyone grows up they are told, drugs are bad and that they should not use them. But before one gets to understand what drugs are and their use, they may never understand why they are cautioned against them. One thing is for sure, and children grow up knowing that drugs are dangerous and should not use them, but the question is whether all drugs are bad and that they should not be used. When cautioned against the use of drugs, it means that the use of them is illegal. But how then is it possible that some of ...

Core concepts in health

Secondhand smoke exposure is well known for causing diseases such as lung cancer and sudden infant death syndrome among nonsmokers. Though many countries, states and cities have come up with policies mandating smoke-free public spaces, millions of children still remain unprotected from exposure to secondhand smoke in private homes. Second hand smoke is a proven carcinogen and parents should take a legal responsibility to protect their children when smoking. The law should compel behavior for those parents who do not know or even care to know the dangers of secondhand smoke to their children. Parents who smoke around their children yet ...

Water, sanitation and Hygiene
These are highly fundamental issues that should be considered when providing community based services. For instance, water is a basic need for human survival but not all the water is safe for consumption. The sanitation systems within the community determine a great deal on the safety of the available water for consumption. Water, sanitation and hygiene complement each other and none can exist independent of the other. The importance of water cannot be overestimated and its use immeasurable. Despite the high demand for the resource for sustenance of life, there is always a greater challenge to the ...

If Fred were a Utilitarian

Utilitarianism is based on consequentialism. It is a doctrine where the ends justify the means. This implies that if one really needs to reach a certain goal but the process to attainment of that goal is wrong ethically, morally or otherwise, the individual would still go through with the process so long as their goal it attained at the end. This is a system which values the outcome more than the process. Fred is in a position where he has previously experienced the challenges that come with being unemployed. Moreover, unemployment would mean that his wife would have to labor in two jobs. ...

Aerobic Cell Respiration

Aerobic Cell Respiration is necessary for the respiration characteristics of life. Every living organism requires energy to use for growth and maintenance. Aerobic Cell Respiration leads to the conversion of biochemical energy into the Adenosine Tryphosphate (ADP). This occurs during catabolic metabolic reactions in which volumes of energy are released as a result of the breakdown of large molecules into small ones (Rich, P. R., 2003). This is an exothermic redox reaction which and it is through it that the living organisms manufacture energy. However, it can only occur if the body is supplied with energy rich foods such as ...

Marijuana legalization and/or use is a controversial topic. While it is already legal in some places, notably Amsterdam, and measures are being introduced in some parts of the United States to gradually liberalize its acceptance and use (medical marijuana is legal in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and other states, for example), it is still a long way from general public acceptance. In this paper, I will interview three different people about their opinions on marijuana. The names of the people interviewed have been changed to protect their identities, as this topic is fairly controversial and the opinions expressed were often quite candid.

For some, smoking tobacco is a pleasurable experience to enjoy in moderation. For many, however, tobacco is a highly addictive substance which causes them, and those around them, many health problems. If someone is aware of the consequences of smoking and still wants to smoke, a democratic society would say they have the right to do so, but also the responsibility that goes with that right not to harm anyone else while doing so. Is it an act of freedom or fascism to force someone to do something, even if the action appears to be in the best interests of the individual? ...

A strong influence can exerted on human health by certain behaviors that increase the chance of developing a wide variety of diseases, and these behaviors are collectively known as behavioral risk factors. Ever since the 1980s, there has been epidemiologic evidence that supports the relationships between various health outcomes caused by particular behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the reasons why a large portion of Americans smoke cigarettes, eat a very poor diet, and are physically inactive, which are three major behavioral risk factors in the United States.

Increased live birth delivery of women with natal drinking or smoking: A nursing critique

Abstract
Prenatal smoking and alcoholic drinking are for its serious health risks during and after live delivery. Amidst the ethical question on this maternal choice, a contention insists that alcohol and tobacco non-use prenatal and at natal has increased. Doubts on its validity were noted. My hypothesis: the observation came too early both in the national English and the global contexts. The contention was hard to sustain. The diverse factors affecting global decision making work against that contention. Both the American and English data failed to support that contention on the strong reality of the incomplete and potentially unsound ...

Smoking, drinking, overeating and accumulating stressors are behaviors that become pronounced in adulthood though they trace their origins to a much younger age probably around the teenage years. These behaviors do not just crop up out of the blues. They start and develop over a period. The various theories and theorists in this context are keen on pointing out the psychosocial nature of an individual. They show how the actions and expectations of a person conflict with those of society and how that could therefore lead to various behaviors in adulthood. The theories in contexts have their different ways ...

Legalization of Marijuana

The issue on legalization of highly dangerous substances has always been a cause of debate for many countries considering the health and social risks it has over the public, and its users. Alcohol and tobacco are currently legal for distribution and production, making it one of the most lucrative businesses in the market. It is also a significant source for government funding as these two markets are required to pay high taxes to continue their production. Recently, the issue of legalizing another dangerous substance is being debated, and that is the substance known as Marijuana. Opponents to legalizing marijuana often note ...

Leadership Reflective Plan

Leadership is all about extrapolating one's vision of the future upon others and taking responsibility for the possible mistakes. People usually start following leaders when they have no other option. That is to say, people need a leader when they either have no vision of their own future or they are afraid of taking responsibility for their own mistakes. To this end, leadership studies imply a development of two major aspects such as endless passion that motivates surrounding people and some sort of fatalism that helps to take risky steps in the course of time.

The writer of the article (Aviva Dove-Viebahn) tries to give a review of a television series known as Mad Men. The series setting is in the last century, the 1960’s. I actually think that the title of the article should be “Feminism in a Man’s World”. This is because there was zero level of gender sensitivity at the time. Women were not held with esteem at all. We can argue that we have come a long way since then, because Americans are now more gender sensitive.

The Marxism theory is the cornerstone of all relationships, but suggests that the economy can bring power, while the conflict theory is only the cornerstone of all relationships. They both advocate for social relationships, but the latter does not support the issue that power can only be gained by economics.

It brings out the elements that are normally constant in the society, and these are hostility and resentment. Power is different in the different levels of social status. Resources are also fought ...

In sociology, crime and deviance are studied when cultural norms, changes it goes through over time and the consequences that occur when they are broken are studied. With help of norms, individuals learn to exert self control from the activities that might destroy the peace of a society. Social norms differ in different parts of the world. It means that if for one society a certain social act is abhorred it might be considered normal in another society. Sociologists study the reasons behind these differences and how it effects the population living in those societies.

Sociologists refer to deviance as any behavior, characteristic or a belief that violate, or deviate, or depart from, a basic norm and is likely to generate negative reactions or perceptions by the persons who observes or hears about the norm violation (Bartos and paul, p17).

Status offense laws define a status offense as a noncriminal/non-delinquent offense. These laws specify offenses that are considered illegal for an underage individual even though they are not illegal if they are committed by an adult.
