become successful. When the children become young adults, they are more likely to focus on their careers and are less likely to focus on their health and well-being. Thus, hard-working young adults that smoke may be stubborn when it comes time to change a learned behavior. Italy has a high uncertainty avoidance on the Hofstede Insights country comparison chart, according to Hofstede Insights. A country that has a high uncertainty avoidance tends to have an elevated amount of anxiety and stress. People that live in this type of culture tend to act more irrationally. Additionally, they are more conservative and are hesitant to change so that this factor may be a hindrance to the campaign. This type of behavior may influence the outcome …show more content…
By the time individuals reach the age of 18, chances are they have already experimented with tobacco products. Some of the diseases and health risks associated with smoking are coronary heart disease, multiple forms of cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and premature birth. Some of the previously mentioned health risks could be reduced through smoking cessation. A successful smoking cessation campaign would allow former users of tobacco and their families to live a longer and healthier life. The principal message the EU Anti-Tobacco Campaign is trying to convey to its target audience is that smoking cessation will prolong your life. The target audience will be young adults between the ages of 18 to 35. The intercultural campaign will promote a six-month smoking cessation program throughout the European Union targeting two countries. The European Commission and our firm, International Public Relations, will focus on the nations of Italy and Denmark. A variety of strategies will be needed to prevent young adults from starting tobacco products and to assist in the cessation of tobacco products. The campaign will provide smoking cessation resources to individuals using tobacco products. The resources will include locations for behavioral counselors that can assist smokers in their quest to quit. The counseling
The danger in using/ smoking tobacco starts at a young age until the adult age. Smoking can cause bad illness while also harming the person body and body organs. Smoking not only affects the person that uses, it also affects the people around you daily. Using tobacco can cause premature death too both the smoker and the nonsmoker, it called (second hand smoke). Tobacco smoking has been known to cause over 400,000 deaths every single year in the U.S (Wiley, 2011). People use tobacco smoking for many of reasons, some just for being cool, or trying to just fit in, and also watching family member smoke. Even though people know the bad and unhealthy
Stage-Matched Interventions. Finally, Spencer et al. (2002) examined the evidences supporting the utilization of stage-matched smoking cessation interventions vs. non-stage-matched interventions vs. TTM training for health care providers. It was found that 16 out of 22 stage-matched interventions support the idea that there is a cause and effect relationship between personalized/tailored interventions and positive outcomes. In terms of non-stage-matched interventions, 8 out of the 11 studies demonstrated positive progression to tobacco cessation drawing the conclusion that non tailored interventions are also effective in getting the subject’s closer to quit smoking. Although this sounds promising, the study noted that non-stage-matched interventions are not
Cigarette smoking is the principal form of tobacco use worldwide and has many adverse effects on the health of smokers. In 2000, there were about 5 million tobacco related deaths globally and smoking currently causes almost 1 in 5 deaths in the United States. Aside from causing around 90% of all lung cancer deaths, cigarette smoking harms almost every organ in the body and adversely affects the health of those around the smoker through second-hand smoke. While the rate at which people quit smoking is limited due to the development of nicotine addiction, rates of smoking initiation can be rapidly be changed through intervention. Such interventions include smoke-free policies like that advertised by the “Tobacco-Free Campus” sign pictured
Our main priority is to recognize the health risks that come with tobacco. These are risks we are selling to our company every time a customer purchases a tobacco product. Many health effects of using tobacco are Lung disease, Heart disease, Stroke, and a 1/3 of all Cancers. When you use tobacco you are putting a dangerous chemical in your body which hurts many parts of your body. “Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in The United States.” (CDC, April 2014).
First of all, banning cigarettes will help to keep more people alive. Smoking just one cigarette a day can greatly increase the risk of dying early, according to new government research (Fox). There is also no safe amount of smoking for the body (Fox). The American Heart Association says that smoking raises cholesterol levels, raises blood pressure, increases the risk for blood clotting throughout the body, as well as making it harder for those who smoke to exercise (“How”). Smoke can become trapped in a person's lungs, leading to breathing problems, cancer, and more dangerous health problems that can lead to an early death (“Risks”). Those who smoke are also at a higher risk for a stroke due to the fact that smoking increases blood pressure and increases cholesterol build up (“How”). Although all of these things affect the body in a negative way, once someone quits smoking, all damaged organs immediately begin to repair themselves (“How”).
The National Tobacco Campaign is an anti-smoking campaign that was introduced under the Australian Government Department of Health and Australian National Preventative Health Agency; it aims to assist smokers to quit. The National Tobacco Campaign was introduced in 1997 when statistics indicated a stalling in the steady decline of tobacco usage. It is amongst Australia's most concentrated and persistent mass media tobacco-control campaign. An advantage of this campaign was the cooperation in its expansion and operation between the national, state and territory governments and non-government organisations. This case study intends on outlining how this campaign was executed. Information on the National Tobacco Campaign can be found on http://www.quitnow.gov.au/internet/quitnow/publishing.nsf/Content/home.
Smoking can lead to health problems that can destroy the consumers future. Smoking is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. each year. For example, "Smoking has killed more people in the U.S. alone than the number of Americans killed in battle or who died of war related diseases in all wars ever fought by this nation. The total number of U.S. deaths in the Vietnam War was 58,151,¨(¨Other Health Dangers¨). Smoking has many different chemicals that are harmful to the body. Some of the problems that are caused by smoking are lung cancer, cancers of the mouth, larynx (throat), esophagus, bladder, kidney, cervix, and blood (leukemia). These can all be caused by smoking and then there will be a greater risk of getting these
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Four of every five persons who use tobacco begin before they reach adulthood; more than 3,000 young persons begin smoking each day. In addition, smoking is addictive-three of four teenagers who smoke have made at least one serious, yet unsuccessful, effort to quit. The importance of tobacco use cessation programs for youth is addressed in Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives and in recently passed legislation related to the Goals 2000 National Education Goals. CDC's Guidelines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addiction states that tobacco cessation programs are needed to help young persons who already
One major advantage of tobacco cessation counseling can be described as a “…good evidences that quitting smoking at any age results in significant health gains” (Census and Statistics Department, 2000; Skaar et al, 1997; Abdullah & Husten, 2006, p. 461). As Lightwood and Glantz (1997), Lightwood (1999), and Shields (2002) referred the only known way to reduce cancer risk in smokers is to complete cessation, which results in a 35% lower risk death due to tobacco related illness and a 64% reduced risk of tobacco related cancer (Anczak & Nogler, 2003). Due to the global tobacco control and systematic surveillance, this epidemic also links the states and community resources, integrated with guidelines and help to compile data. Smoking cessation
National Tobacco Campaign: During 1980s and early 1990s a steady reduction in smoking prevalence was observed, therefore a National Tobacco campaign was developed (Hill DJ, 1998). This campaign targeted smokers aged 18- 40 years. The evaluation of National Tobacco campaign shows significant reduction in prevalence of smoking among Australian adults (AIHW, 2005) . A decline from 23.5 % in May 1997 to 20.4% in November 2000 was seen in campaign survey (Wakefield M, 2004). Overall the campaign survey shows
Hello, today I am here to tell you about health risk, and how to reduce them and help you get into a good behavior to fight off the bad health risks. One question you may ask is what is a health risk? A health risk, is a risk you are taking that can hurt you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Some of these health risks are smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes are one of the most popular addiction in America today. Each day, more than 3,200 people under 18 smoke their first cigarette, and about 2,100 young adults and youth become daily smokers. Smoking also gives you a very high risk of lung cancer. Lung cancer can take your life at a very young age. If someone starts smoking cigarettes at 18 years of age, which is the average, they have a lifespan
The tobacco industry kills more people in North America from Monday to Thursday of each week than the terrorists murdered in total on September 11, 2001. That sounds unrealistic, doesn’t it? Well, smoking is an epidemic that affects us all, whether you are a smoker or you aren’t. In order to stop this epidemic, we need to
Although it remains a large portion of the U.S’ economy, tobacco smoking can lead to a variety of diseases and disorders that affect the user. The effects of smoking tobacco not only affect the user but surrounding people as well: permanently destroying their lungs and children, increasing the chances of diseases and of cancer.
To begin let’s talk about the many, many health risks that are caused from smoking. I’ll start off with the biggest consequence smoking causes. Cancer. According to the CDC.gov website, nine out of ten lung cancers are caused from smoking cigarettes. And although lung cancer is the most common cancer associated with smoking, it is definitely not the only one. Smoking can cause cancer anywhere in the body. From the mouth to the colon, nothing is safe from cancer when you smoke. According to betobaccofree.gov, the chemicals in cigarettes harm your blood cells and damage your heart, increasing your likelihood of developing aneurysms, cardiovascular disease, Coronary heart disease, and strokes. Smokers also develop mouth sores and ulcers and as stated on deltadentalins.com, smokers are about 4 times more likely than non-smokers to develop gum disease. Smokers experience muscle deterioration because blood and oxygen are restricted and can’t reach the muscles.
According to “Teens Health,” “Smoking leads people to develop health problems like heart disease, stroke, emphysema, and many types of cancer, including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer. People who smoke also have an increased risk of infections, like bronchitis and pneumonia.” The article has also provided many other problems a person may experience: rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, greater risk of injury and slower healing time. Smoking affects the body's ability to produce collagen which will cause the body to heal more slowly in smokers than nonsmokers. Shortness of breath and an increased risk of illness with health problems that increases as you smoke more. These effects limit a person's ability to be normally active, and they can be fatal. Studies provided by the article have proven that in the United States, smoking was responsible for about one out of five deaths (“Teens”). Smoking is more designed to kill and not to help people’s health. This is the first thing every smoker has to understand. It can cause death in return for some relaxation that has been designed to do.
