The Effects Of Tobacco On The Society

Another form of pollution is cigarette smoke. Cigarettes alone contain dangerous chemicals that seriously can damage your health and others around you. That’s why from the first of July in 2007 it was illegal to smoke in public areas like pubs clubs and hotels. Smoking can cause lung disease and different types of cancers as well as heart diseases. Mentally, smoking can affect how you think and cause stress.

It is estimated that half of all smokers die from diseases related to the consumption of tobacco and live an average of ten to fifteen years less than non-smokers.

Although there is not an example of symbolism in the poem Danse Russe by William Williams, the theme is apparent. Williams portrays a lonely theme as he writes the lines “I am lonely, lonely. I was born to be lonely, I am best so.” This is where Williams emphasizes his isolation within his own household, more than likely brought on by his loneliness as single man providing for a house of women. This isolation stems from his inability to connect with either woman of the house on the same level as he would with another man.

There is presently much controversy regarding tobacco consumption and the effect that it has on first hand smokers and on the world as a whole. While millions of people from around the world are smokers and while the masses are generally familiar with the effects that tobacco has on society, people continue to accept smoking as one of the principal vices that society has to deal with. It is certainly worrying that people are presented with the harmful effects of smoking at a young age and that many come to ignore these effects later in their lives. Addiction and society's pressures influence individuals in expressing little to no interest in their wellbeing and in the wellbeing of individuals around them.

With such an expansive history in Connecticut, the subject of tobacco is just as encompassing. With roots in Windsor colonial history through its height in the 1950s, sources try to capture it all at a surface level. Scholars have studied tobacco over time evaluating its role in the community at that moment in time. Over a variety of sources, overall the response to tobacco in Windsor has been positive as it serves as both an economic influence and a cultural one as well. Starting at one of the most recent sources, Brianna Dunlap looks at the entire Connecticut River valley as the backdrop as Connecticut’s tobacco industry in Connecticut Valley Tobacco. Published in 2016, Dunlap captures tobacco’s history starting at its roots in the 1600s through Cuba’s reopening trade ports in 2015. This book serves to establish Windsor’s connection with tobacco and how it changed over time to match the changing landscape around the tobacco sheds.

Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, killing more Americans than HIV, drug and alcohol abuse, suicides, murders and car accidents combined. There are numerous campaigns such as D.A.R.E. and “Swipe Left” to help persuade us out of using tobacco products. Sayings like “Not even once” have even become cliché. However, studies have shown that one cigarette is all it takes to get addicted. Despite popular belief, smokeless tobacco is addictive as well. Big tobacco companies are famous for telling lies. In 1996, the tobacco industry said it was riskier to drink two cups of milk a day than one cigarette. They also said cigarettes were just as addictive as salt, sugar and internet usage. Neither of these are true, as it is the most addictive of all legal drugs. That being said, cigarettes are only the tip of the iceberg to the major problems that tobacco causes. Tobacco products have an astonishing amount of cons, to accompany very few, petty pros like “it makes me feel better for a few minutes.” Not only do cigarettes hurt the smoker, but they hurt the ones closely surrounding the smoker, especially small children. There are also a great deal of unexpected environmental issues that come with tobacco products and its industry, such as deforestation, greenhouse gasses, and fires. Because of these destructive reasons, we propose that all tobacco products should be illegal.

In 2010, 87 percent of the world’s tobacco was grown in the developing world. A modern cigarette manufacturing machine can use up to 3.7 miles of paper an hour. Tobacco plants use more nutrients than many other crops, degrading the soil. Probably the most impact of a cigarette on the environment is the production of them. The land used to grow the crops could be put to better use by planting more trees or food production. Vast quantities of pesticides, fertilizer and herbicides are used on tobacco crops. Some crops require over a dozen applications of pesticides during the three-month growing period. Cigarette butts also do a lot of damage. You might think they were made of cotton, but actually they are often a form of plastic. The polymer acetate filters are comprised of thousands of fibers that can take up to 15-25 years to decompose. The residue from tobacco in the butts also releases toxins into the environment. Trillions of butts are discarded each year. Also discarded cigarettes are a major cause of forest fire in the USA, not to mention fatal house fires. Over 1000 Americans lose their lives a year from tobacco related fires.

Tobacco has also been effected the environment. The cigarette butt have been found in the waterways, ground soil, harming wildlife and have even being causing fires. Because people are discarding their cigarettes all over it has become a problem that has been getting worse over the years. The chemicals contained in the cigarette butts are still contain toxic waste it damages the environment, and can be very costly to clean up. Because the tobacco plant is high in potassium, which can absorb up to six time as much as normal crops. This leaves the soil in poor condition making it harder to grow essential crops. The machine that are in use to product cigarettes use more than six kilometers of paper each hour which does not get recycled.

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

Tobacco has been around for many years, and it should be stopped, but can the economy handle it. The tobacco is reaching young children, and not to mention the nonsmokers as well. The medical effects alone should convince people to stop smoking. Even if the people wanted to quit, it's hard because they are already addicted. If the health doesn't stop people from smoking the cost should because this year the tax on tobacco has gone up dramatically. So now the cost is weakening our pockets. The only ones that win in the tobacco field are the Tobacco Company, because they make all the money. If profits fall, all they have to do is advertise a little harder and profits will roll

They can be found in almost any store, right behind the register after a grocery list has been completed. Tobacco companies are multi-billion dollar industries that thrive on the addiction of its consumers. The United States government should take control of tobacco companies and ban the marketing, production, and sales of tobacco. This is because health issues contributed to the use of tobacco products are overwhelmingly high; they’re very addictive; the effects of second-hand smoke are as harmful as smoking itself; and an alarming percentage of the market research is geared towards teens and young adults.

Tobacco smoke is immensely harmful to one’s health. Cigarettes contain about 600 ingredients, when this burned can generate 7,000 chemicals according to American Lung Association

A study was conducted to compare tobacco use rate between two-year and four-year college students and also surveyed demographic variables that predicted their behaviors and it was revealed that tobacco use on two-years was higher than four-year mainly because of poor campus tobacco-use policies and lack of proper health services.

Just because something may make someone feel good it does not mean that it is good for them. Like many people say too much of anything is bad for you. Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are by no chance an exception. They are honestly quite the opposite considering how many negative effects they cause people each year. Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco after being abused will lead to an unhealthy life that will keep people from enjoying life since they are at higher risk of many diseases that may or may not be fatal. Alcohol is used by many people and has become an important part of life throughout the whole world.

Tobacco has been around for many centuries. It has been around since the early 1600’s. throughout all these years, people have experienced health problems due to the excessive amount of smoking. Although health problems occur due to the use of tobacco, the company is still growing strong to this day. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are sold all over the world. People of different ages are smoking tobacco. There are certain countries that allow children under the age of 18 to buy tobacco products. My family is originally from South America. They’re from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. When I was in high school I had to move to Bolivia for three years due to a family issue. Being in a different environment changed my perspective on what people were capable of doing. All my classmates in Bolivia smoked cigarettes after school as if it were a natural thing to do. Before moving to Bolivia, I had never met a person my age who had smoked a cigarette. After living in Bolivia for so long, I established close friendships. One of my close friends was struggling with smoke addiction. He needed to smoke a cigarette at least every ten minutes or else he started to become anxious. One time, his cigarette pack ran out and he wasn’t able to find a shop where they sold single packs. My friend started to show signs of aggression, he became angry and had a low tolerance for things. Once he was able to smoke, it was if he was a whole different person. Smoking at such a young age leads to higher rates of addiction. Which later leads to more severe problems.
