Tobacco And Tobacco
About 5.6 million of Americans younger than 18 years will likely die from a tobacco–related illness if tobacco use persists at the current rate among
youth in the United States (1). Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of mortality and disease in the United States (2). Approximately 480, 000
Americans die from tobacco–related diseases, while greater than 16 million Americans suffer from at least one illness caused by tobacco, each year (2).
Tobacco products are made entirely or partly from the nicotine–rich leaves materials which are processed by drying and fermentation, prepared to be
smoked, chewed, or snuffed by an individual (3). The tobacco product use are Cigarettes, Cigars, Hookahs, Electronic cigarettes, Pipe tobacco, Bidis,
and smokeless tobacco (10). All these tobacco products contain highly addictive psychoactive agent called nicotine (3). Since tobacco use often
begins during teenage years and early adolescent, hence, preventing the use of tobacco among youths in middle and high school is critical to ending
the tobacco epidemic in the United States (1). Studies have shown that 9 out of 10 tobacco smokers first attempted smoking by 18 years of age while
greater than 3,200 American youths aged 18 years and below smoked their first cigarette, and 2100 youths and young adults became addicted users (4).
However, this has reportedly led American middle and high school youths to become susceptible to one form of tobacco products or the other and are

Essay on Tobacco
Tobacco
Tobacco is the common name of the plant Nicotiana tabacum and to a limited extent Nicotiana rustica and the cured leaf that is used, usually after
aging and processing in various ways for smoking, chewing, snuffing and the extraction of nicotine, the principal alkaloid of tobacco.(4) The species
N. tabacum has never been found to grow in the wild.(1) The use of the word tobacco is generally accepted as referring to the products of the tabacum
species and so it will be in what follows. Tobacco holds an unparalleled position among crop plants in the world such as:
1) It is one of the very few crops entering world trade entirely on a leaf basis.
2) It is the most widely grown commercial non–food plant in the world.

N. tabacum has a uniquely high proportion of alkaloids occurring as nicotine and is considered to have survived as a species by man's protection.
Creation of new species through hybridization is a natural botanical occurrence. It is an accepted assumption that N. tabacum arose as a natural hybrid.
N. sylvestris contributes one genome, but agreement on the other contributor is not agreed upon. Artificial creation of hybrids which results in
'synthetic tobacco' bear very close genetic similarity to N. tabacum. Cultivated tobaccos have changed immensely over time and it is unlikely that the
forms of other species now available bear to close a resemblance to what existed in the distant past.(1)
Botany
Tobacco is normally grown as an annual and is potentially a woody, shrub like perennial. The tobacco plant has a very shallow root system which
provides poor anchorage for the more extensive above ground development. The N. tabacum types are one of the smaller species of tobacco varieties.
The leaves supply the most important economic value of the plant and are given the most attention by botanists. Although there is variation in leaf size
and shape there is general uniformity of distribution, size and shape within cultivated types. Between types, size and shape may vary considerably but
not in distribution. The characters which may include leaf shape

Persuasive Essay On Alcohol And Tobacco
Alcohol and tobacco. Two of the highest leading causes of death in the United States(Smoking and Tobacco Use). One could ask in the age of viewing
technology, why would either ever be allowed to advertise on television? While tobacco has not been allowed on television sets since 1971(Initiative,
Truth), sadly, alcohol still continues to have its prominent grasp on the advertising market. Smoking and drinking have devastating effects on a
person's well being, while simultaneously posing a threat to others as well. Ads by these companies often target impressionable viewers and hundreds
of billions of dollars are spent each year treating those who suffer from tobacco and alcohol–related products. Tobacco and alcohol advertising should
not be allowed on television because of the major health risks the products pose to the public, the economic burden of treating those affected, and
the disgusting marketing strategy of targeting youth. Alcohol, tobacco, and death: a triad that fits together perfectly. Most people know about the
physical health risks of smoking and drinking. Smoking makes it easier for a person to develop heart disease, strokes, and a variety of cancers(Do
You Really Know the Risks?), while alcohol can cause high blood pressure, liver failure, as well as many other problems(Alcohol Facts and
Statistics). In the U.S. there is a major problem with people dying from abusing these substances as they are extremely addictive. According to the
CDC Report of Smoking and Tobacco Use, "cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the U.S, including [an
additional] 41,000 deaths from secondhand smoke". An additional report by the CDC on Alcohol Use suggests that, "excessive alcohol use leads to
88,000 deaths year". Something that causes so much death should not be advertised and used to profit from. In addition, alcohol and tobacco also take
a toll on an individual's mental health, just not physical health. Studies have shown that often times drinking excessively and depression go hand in
hand. People will drink to forget their sorrows and to combat loneliness, but due to alcohol's uplifting mood effect, it can often make that person more
depressed and withdrawn over a long period

Essay on Tobacco Industry Analysis
The tobacco industry involves companies that sell and produce tobacco products all around the world. Tobacco products include cigarette, cigar, pipe,
and chewing tobacco. Tobacco smoking is "the single largest cause of preventable death and disease in our community." (Tobacco. 2006) With a
society becoming more prosperous, education is improving and a concern for quality of life is resulting in a strong anti–smoking sentiment on all
levels of society. Therefore the present and future marketing activities of the tobacco industry are heavily impacted by forces within its micro and macro
environments.

Tobacco companies are then able to pass these saving on to consumers, allowing them to be more competitive with other brands and also combat the
severe effects of government tax increases.
Political
The political leverage of the tobacco industry must not be underestimated.
Tobacco lobbying works to ensure that action taken by the governments will have minimal effect on the levels of tobacco consumption.
Health professionals, concerned with bringing about changes to ensure the health of the general public, must unite in order to compete with the
considerable power of the tobacco lobby. However, the tobacco industry is currently losing more and more debates, and the government is passing more
and more legislation which will have negative effects on tobacco consumption. Due to the serious health issues surrounding smoking, the government
imposes laws and tax increases to act as deterrents to tobacco smoking. These pose a serious threat to present and future marketing activities of the
industry. Governments worldwide have approved bans on any advertisement that has the affect of promoting a tobacco product, including electronic
and print media advertising. This affects companies marketing within the tobacco industry, on two levels. Anti–smoking organisations claim that
advertising for smoking encourages people to start consuming tobacco products. Therefore, bans on advertising affect the industry's marketing
activities by reducing their

"Environmental tobacco smoke–the secondhand cigarette smoke breathed by nonsmokers is a known carcinogen and the most dangerous

smoke. "Lung cancer is the best known risk from secondhand smoke."(Wilson 1997) The simple smoke from a cigarette is more complex then it
really looks. "Each time a person breaths in smoke about a million particles of very tiny complex materials are breathed in and only 20% of that is
breathed out."(Hyde 1990) From these little millions of particles is the reason it causes problems for the human body. The main material in the some is
nicotine. "Nicotine is an alkaloid poison found in
Tobacco leaves that defends the plant against insect attacks. Nicotine affects the nervous system."(Mccuen 1997) Nobody wants that in his or her
bodies. But people still light up every day knowing well enough that the tobacco smoke will kill them eventually or cause permanent damage to their

Tobacco And Its Impact On Tobacco
As the second largest cause of death in the world, Tobacco has put itself at the top of social problems. Looking though out history, tobacco was
widely accepted in American society as well as all around the world. There were three major changes in society that aided in the transformation of
tobacco from a social norm into a major social issue. The major changes of technology enhancement of cigarette production, society's views on tobacco
intake, and the improvements of scientific knowledge on health issues tobacco causes have all led to the social problem tobacco has formed.
Tobacco is native to both North and South American continents and is considered one of the most important cash crops in the United States. European
explorers from the fifteenth and sixteenth century discovered tobacco through the Native Americans who used the resource as medicine and as a
hallucinogen. The plant was brought back to Europe where it instantly became a drug of choice. Rulers quickly banned tobacco, but its economic
benefits and vast popularity compelled acceptance. It spread throughout the flourishing world and became the foundation for the growth of the
American economy. Colonist started to grow and sell their own product; it became so important that tobacco was a legal currency in Maryland and
Virginia. Because tobacco became a high paying farm crop, the rapid growth of production led to an increase of slave trade. Slaves became the
backbone of the tobacco economy. Without them, there

But lowering the tar also meant lowering the nicotine because this method affected both aspects. So the industry generated a new breed of tobacco
plants. The nicotine levels of the new flue–cured, Y–1, and rustica tobacco plants were 6% of the plant's body weight. Before, tobacco only had
2%–3.5% nicotine. Chewing tobacco and snuff products have always contained fiberglass in them. These flecks of glass pierced gums and lips to
allow nicotine to flow into the pores making it more addictive. The industry has since made the fiberglass obsolete and replaced it with actual
nicotine crystals. These crystals penetrate the gums and dissolve inside of your jaw. Basically, consumers are now getting approximately double
the nicotine in smoking and smokeless tobacco than had previously. The government has passed laws that prevent youth from purchasing tobacco
goods. The legal age for acquirement of tobacco is 18. Does that in itself ward away potential teen tobacco users? To a certain degree, it works very
effectively. Consumers under the legal age have no way around this law. However, there are some marketers that sell to underage tobacco users. But
the industry is hardly to blame for that. The President devised a plan to raise prices of tobacco over the next four years in an attempt to discourage
tobacco consumers. Realistically, no proposition such as that could ever be more ignorant and bemused. This scheme only gives rise to the industry.

Although many claim the opposite smoking tobacco has been proved scientifically to be addictive. Addiction is when a person is physically and
mentally dependent on a particular substance and is unable to stop taking it without incurring unpleasant effects. Once the body tastes nicotine the
addictive chemical found in cigarettes it craves for more. Nicotine creates a pleasurable feeling that appeals to the smoker. However, since nicotine is
the only addictive drug in tobacco if extracted from tobacco then tobacco won't be addictive. Each cigarette contains 10 milligrams of nicotine drug,

This paper discusses the long–term effects of using nicotine effects on brain social implications and gives details about death rates among people who
use tobacco. According to research, nicotine produces mood–altering effects in a person's brain which are temporally pleasing. Sometime back one of
my friends who were a regular smoker claimed to feel good and motivated to do any task after he smoked. Although he later on stopping smoking
he always said that smoking was the best thing that had happened in his life. I, later on, discovered that the reason behind his happy mood after
taking a puff was contributed by nicotine, which triggered his brain to produce a happy feeling. Use of nicotine is said to cause several social
influences. For instance, smoking plays an integral part in starting a conversation among smokers. A conversation is normally started as a smoker asks
for a light or a cigarette. In addition, it is also difficult for a person to quit his/her friends whom they smoke together. Some of the long–term effects of
smoking include sleep disorders irritability, lack of concentration severe headaches and anxiety. Pure nicotine is said to be extremely poisonous and it
can cause death. Currently, use of nicotine is said to be causing the highest number of deaths in the United States. It causes

Persuasive Essay On Tobacco
Too many Americans die every year due directly because of cigarettes. Cigarette use and other tobacco related products are a very complex and
controversial topic to discuss. The statistics prove that tobacco does not only direct harm to the user but potential harm to others around the user. With
government data displaying the affects cigarettes have on a person's life from most significantly health problems to financial troubles, anti–cigarette
groups are astonished as why cigarettes, and tobacco as a whole, are not banned in modern day America. Every year more than 480,000 deaths occur
because of cigarettes (CDC). While being one of the highest causes of death each year in the United States, it may shock the nation that cigarette
related deaths are also the leading preventable cause of death. There are many proposed solutions of how to limit or ban cigarettes and tobacco in
America. While I see banning tobacco as a very effective tactic if society followed rules, I do not think it would totally work. Smokers would still get
tobacco and cigarettes illegally the same way the nation did during the Prohibition. Stopping the illegal trade of tobacco would then become a bigger
problem and an even more complicated task. Additionally, banning would not change the mind of the smoker. I believe the tactic needs to have the
smoker question their decision to continue smoking. The tactic should burden the smoker if continuing to smoke.

Teen Smoking Essay
One of the largest issues today is adolescent smoking. According to a heath based website, nearly 90% of adult smokers start while they are still teens
and they never intend to get hooked. They may start by bumming a cigarette or two from a friend at a party, and then go on to buying an occasional
pack. Soon they realize that they can't go without that pack. They've gotten used to reaching for a cigarette first thing in the morning, after meals, or
during any stressful time. They become addicted, both physically and psychologically. According to the American Lung Association, each day 6,000
children under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette. Almost 2,000 of them will become regular smokers – that's 757, 000 new smokers annually!

These teens may think that smoking shows that they are old enough to make their own decisions.
To make matters worse, the tobacco companies are making millions from teen smokers. Tobacco companies use advertising to manipulate both teens
and adults. They present images that are hard to shake, even when you know the truth. Have you ever seen a cigarette ad where people are wrinkled,
middle–aged or coughing and in the hospital dying of lung cancer? Of course not! In most ads, smokers are shown the way that teens would like to be:
attractive and hip, sophisticated and elegant, or rebellious.
A 2002 study performed by the Research Triangle Institute states that the tobacco companies make 1.8 billion dollars annually from underage sales.
It is interesting that they are making such large profits when it is illegal for a person under the age of 18 to purchase cigarettes. A recent survey by
the The American Lung Association indicated that among students under 18 years old who were current smokers, 69.4% reported never being asked
for proof of age when buying cigarettes in a store, and 62.4% were not refused purchase because of their age.

Persuasive Essay On Tobacco And Alcohol
Today many companies– such as tobacco and alcohol industries will advertise to whoever they can get as much business as possible: this includes teens
and those struggling with health issues. Although society recognizes that teen smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, the alcohol and tobacco industries
should not advertise such products to adolescents. By advertising to teens and people with mental issues, these companies are not stressing the danger
and consequences people may face when consuming toxic substances. It is crucial to know reasons why these companies should not be allowed to
poison youth and people that are not stable mentally with advertisements for dangerous substances.
Opposing views claim that tobacco and alcohol products are not purposely advertised to youth or people suffering from mental issues. In Fact, the
government have collected $43.9 billion in tobacco tax revenue in 2013, and over half a trillion dollars since 1998.( healthcare) Beside the tax revenue
brought from tobacco products, thousands of farmers and industrial workers employed by the tobacco and alcohol industry. Therefore, if the a ban of
these products or advertisement stop appearing hindering people to buy them, other countries will repa the benefits. One cannot deny that the tobacco
and alcohol industry have contributed the the United States economy, at the same times these products are the two most common risk factors for
preventable diseases, injuries, and premature death (APHA). Tobacco and alcohol companies should not get the hopes up of teens by advertising to
them; these advertisements could make teens think that, since they are being advertised to, it is okay.
Some imperative facts one should look into are legal ages, teen rights and opinions, how companies sucker in people with inner issues to buy their
products, and companies who have attempted to sell to adolescents. First of all, tobacco products or alcohol should not be publicly advertise to

Tobacco And Tobacco

  • 1. Tobacco And Tobacco About 5.6 million of Americans younger than 18 years will likely die from a tobacco–related illness if tobacco use persists at the current rate among youth in the United States (1). Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of mortality and disease in the United States (2). Approximately 480, 000 Americans die from tobacco–related diseases, while greater than 16 million Americans suffer from at least one illness caused by tobacco, each year (2). Tobacco products are made entirely or partly from the nicotine–rich leaves materials which are processed by drying and fermentation, prepared to be smoked, chewed, or snuffed by an individual (3). The tobacco product use are Cigarettes, Cigars, Hookahs, Electronic cigarettes, Pipe tobacco, Bidis, and smokeless tobacco (10). All these tobacco products contain highly addictive psychoactive agent called nicotine (3). Since tobacco use often begins during teenage years and early adolescent, hence, preventing the use of tobacco among youths in middle and high school is critical to ending the tobacco epidemic in the United States (1). Studies have shown that 9 out of 10 tobacco smokers first attempted smoking by 18 years of age while greater than 3,200 American youths aged 18 years and below smoked their first cigarette, and 2100 youths and young adults became addicted users (4). However, this has reportedly led American middle and high school youths to become susceptible to one form of tobacco products or the other and are at higher Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Essay on Tobacco Tobacco Tobacco is the common name of the plant Nicotiana tabacum and to a limited extent Nicotiana rustica and the cured leaf that is used, usually after aging and processing in various ways for smoking, chewing, snuffing and the extraction of nicotine, the principal alkaloid of tobacco.(4) The species N. tabacum has never been found to grow in the wild.(1) The use of the word tobacco is generally accepted as referring to the products of the tabacum species and so it will be in what follows. Tobacco holds an unparalleled position among crop plants in the world such as: 1) It is one of the very few crops entering world trade entirely on a leaf basis. 2) It is the most widely grown commercial non–food plant in the world. 3) It...show more content... N. tabacum has a uniquely high proportion of alkaloids occurring as nicotine and is considered to have survived as a species by man's protection. Creation of new species through hybridization is a natural botanical occurrence. It is an accepted assumption that N. tabacum arose as a natural hybrid. N. sylvestris contributes one genome, but agreement on the other contributor is not agreed upon. Artificial creation of hybrids which results in 'synthetic tobacco' bear very close genetic similarity to N. tabacum. Cultivated tobaccos have changed immensely over time and it is unlikely that the forms of other species now available bear to close a resemblance to what existed in the distant past.(1) Botany Tobacco is normally grown as an annual and is potentially a woody, shrub like perennial. The tobacco plant has a very shallow root system which provides poor anchorage for the more extensive above ground development. The N. tabacum types are one of the smaller species of tobacco varieties. The leaves supply the most important economic value of the plant and are given the most attention by botanists. Although there is variation in leaf size and shape there is general uniformity of distribution, size and shape within cultivated types. Between types, size and shape may vary considerably but not in distribution. The characters which may include leaf shape

  • 4. Persuasive Essay On Alcohol And Tobacco Alcohol and tobacco. Two of the highest leading causes of death in the United States(Smoking and Tobacco Use). One could ask in the age of viewing technology, why would either ever be allowed to advertise on television? While tobacco has not been allowed on television sets since 1971(Initiative, Truth), sadly, alcohol still continues to have its prominent grasp on the advertising market. Smoking and drinking have devastating effects on a person's well being, while simultaneously posing a threat to others as well. Ads by these companies often target impressionable viewers and hundreds of billions of dollars are spent each year treating those who suffer from tobacco and alcohol–related products. Tobacco and alcohol advertising should not be allowed on television because of the major health risks the products pose to the public, the economic burden of treating those affected, and the disgusting marketing strategy of targeting youth. Alcohol, tobacco, and death: a triad that fits together perfectly. Most people know about the physical health risks of smoking and drinking. Smoking makes it easier for a person to develop heart disease, strokes, and a variety of cancers(Do You Really Know the Risks?), while alcohol can cause high blood pressure, liver failure, as well as many other problems(Alcohol Facts and Statistics). In the U.S. there is a major problem with people dying from abusing these substances as they are extremely addictive. According to the CDC Report of Smoking and Tobacco Use, "cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the U.S, including [an additional] 41,000 deaths from secondhand smoke". An additional report by the CDC on Alcohol Use suggests that, "excessive alcohol use leads to 88,000 deaths year". Something that causes so much death should not be advertised and used to profit from. In addition, alcohol and tobacco also take a toll on an individual's mental health, just not physical health. Studies have shown that often times drinking excessively and depression go hand in hand. People will drink to forget their sorrows and to combat loneliness, but due to alcohol's uplifting mood effect, it can often make that person more depressed and withdrawn over a long period Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Essay on Tobacco Industry Analysis The tobacco industry involves companies that sell and produce tobacco products all around the world. Tobacco products include cigarette, cigar, pipe, and chewing tobacco. Tobacco smoking is "the single largest cause of preventable death and disease in our community." (Tobacco. 2006) With a society becoming more prosperous, education is improving and a concern for quality of life is resulting in a strong anti–smoking sentiment on all levels of society. Therefore the present and future marketing activities of the tobacco industry are heavily impacted by forces within its micro and macro environments. In analysing the changing marketing environment for the Tobacco industry, we look at the micro and macro–environments impacting on this...show more content... Tobacco companies are then able to pass these saving on to consumers, allowing them to be more competitive with other brands and also combat the severe effects of government tax increases. Political The political leverage of the tobacco industry must not be underestimated. Tobacco lobbying works to ensure that action taken by the governments will have minimal effect on the levels of tobacco consumption. Health professionals, concerned with bringing about changes to ensure the health of the general public, must unite in order to compete with the considerable power of the tobacco lobby. However, the tobacco industry is currently losing more and more debates, and the government is passing more and more legislation which will have negative effects on tobacco consumption. Due to the serious health issues surrounding smoking, the government imposes laws and tax increases to act as deterrents to tobacco smoking. These pose a serious threat to present and future marketing activities of the industry. Governments worldwide have approved bans on any advertisement that has the affect of promoting a tobacco product, including electronic and print media advertising. This affects companies marketing within the tobacco industry, on two levels. Anti–smoking organisations claim that advertising for smoking encourages people to start consuming tobacco products. Therefore, bans on advertising affect the industry's marketing activities by reducing their Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Thesis Statement On Smoking Smoking cigarettes can have such an harmful effect on the individuals who abuse it and the people who are in around them. A cigarette abuser is likely to become addicted to the drug resulting the person to face with lung cancer. There are many close people in my life who are trying their hardest to quit this specific addiction. Making it ridiculously easy for me to identify and choose the topic in which I chose. Although, before I chose my original topic I had to focus directly on "tools" and strategies that could possibly help individuals quit smoking. Instead of my initial topic thesis statement which was "Smoking cigarettes can be prevented and there are various tools to help quit smoking." My final thesis statement for the this specific final project is now "Smoking can lead to various diseases although a nicotine patch, nasal spray, and vaporizers are the best tools to help quit smoking." My plan was to go in depth in my research and find valuable information relating to my topic. In the beginning, I was extremely confident in my abilities to learn which tools will help the best to quit smoking and had no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be able to get it all figured out. I've investigated several different sources. Some of the sources I checked out fit perfectly with my topic and a couple other sources we're awfully helpless during my research. After lots of tough thinking about what source I'm going to choose I decided to pick sources that have the most scholarly Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Banning Tobacco Essay Tobacco 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...show more content... "Environmental tobacco smoke–the secondhand cigarette smoke breathed by nonsmokers is a known carcinogen and the most dangerous environmental pollutant."(Waxman 1995) Surprisingly secondhand smoke causes as many deaths as the tobacco smokers do. "Most people die from secondhand smoke each year than from car accidents."(Waxman 1995) There are a lot of reasons that causes the deaths from secondhand smoke. "Lung cancer is the best known risk from secondhand smoke."(Wilson 1997) The simple smoke from a cigarette is more complex then it really looks. "Each time a person breaths in smoke about a million particles of very tiny complex materials are breathed in and only 20% of that is breathed out."(Hyde 1990) From these little millions of particles is the reason it causes problems for the human body. The main material in the some is nicotine. "Nicotine is an alkaloid poison found in Tobacco leaves that defends the plant against insect attacks. Nicotine affects the nervous system."(Mccuen 1997) Nobody wants that in his or her bodies. But people still light up every day knowing well enough that the tobacco smoke will kill them eventually or cause permanent damage to their bodies. The reason is because the nicotine in the cigarettes is very addictive, let me tell you from my personal experience that it is very addictive. As time goes by a person tolerance goes up. "Tolerance of nicotine begins with the first does of nicotine, people Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Tobacco And Its Impact On Tobacco As the second largest cause of death in the world, Tobacco has put itself at the top of social problems. Looking though out history, tobacco was widely accepted in American society as well as all around the world. There were three major changes in society that aided in the transformation of tobacco from a social norm into a major social issue. The major changes of technology enhancement of cigarette production, society's views on tobacco intake, and the improvements of scientific knowledge on health issues tobacco causes have all led to the social problem tobacco has formed. Tobacco is native to both North and South American continents and is considered one of the most important cash crops in the United States. European explorers from the fifteenth and sixteenth century discovered tobacco through the Native Americans who used the resource as medicine and as a hallucinogen. The plant was brought back to Europe where it instantly became a drug of choice. Rulers quickly banned tobacco, but its economic benefits and vast popularity compelled acceptance. It spread throughout the flourishing world and became the foundation for the growth of the American economy. Colonist started to grow and sell their own product; it became so important that tobacco was a legal currency in Maryland and Virginia. Because tobacco became a high paying farm crop, the rapid growth of production led to an increase of slave trade. Slaves became the backbone of the tobacco economy.

  • 9. Informative Essay On Tobacco Have you ever heard the term "tobacco"? Chances are you have. We are taught about tobacco as adolescence and the effects it has on the human body. Impacts that are so great it turns our bodies into grotesque machines that run on this chemical. Have we forgotten the photographs of blackened lungs and yellow–brown teeth from our sixth grade text–books? It seems we have. 15.7% of all American teenagers smoke. 5.6% of all American teenagers use a smokeless tobacco products. These numbers are at an all–time low, but don't you think we can do better? I know we can. In 2013 a percentage of 17.8 adults smoke. About 3.5 percent of American adults use a smokeless tobacco product. Need more convincing? Half of allcigarette smokers' deaths are caused by smoking. Over 6...show more content... You may be asking yourself "How am I supposed to help if I don't use tobacco products?". You inform other people. Tell any young people around you that it can and will kill. Telling young people rather than adults have a greater impact. Over 90% of all adult smokers start smoking around the ages 14–18. This is because they feel pressure to do it or that they will feel better by putting this addictive drug into their systems. If you want to help but don't know where to start, you could organize a rally in your school, job or community discussing the risks of using a tobacco product. If you know someone who is addicted to tobacco you should discuss with them the serious effects and if they want to stop. If they can't stop on their own you could give them contact information from a local drug abuse clinic. Care about the people around you and get them help. Prevent loved ones from getting started on this path. Take care of your body and get America out of this seemingly never ending cycle ofaddiction.

  • 10. Tobacco Essay THIS IS A PAPER REGARDING THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY (3 PAGES). The Killing Business? This paper is about the tobacco industry. Some would find that the label 'killing business' is very appropriate. Others would say that that name is misleading and inaccurate. Biased, I am not. So we will look at the issue in regards to the industry from both consumer and producer points of perspective with fairness and equality in reach. With an open mind now, let's peer closer at the aftermath tobacco has left us standing in. Something has to get a non–tobacco user to try his/her first cigarette, cigar, chew, or whatever it may be.

But lowering the tar also meant lowering the nicotine because this method affected both aspects. So the industry generated a new breed of tobacco plants. The nicotine levels of the new flue–cured, Y–1, and rustica tobacco plants were 6% of the plant's body weight. Before, tobacco only had 2%–3.5% nicotine. Chewing tobacco and snuff products have always contained fiberglass in them. These flecks of glass pierced gums and lips to allow nicotine to flow into the pores making it more addictive. The industry has since made the fiberglass obsolete and replaced it with actual nicotine crystals. These crystals penetrate the gums and dissolve inside of your jaw. Basically, consumers are now getting approximately double the nicotine in smoking and smokeless tobacco than had previously. The government has passed laws that prevent youth from purchasing tobacco goods. The legal age for acquirement of tobacco is 18. Does that in itself ward away potential teen tobacco users? To a certain degree, it works very effectively. Consumers under the legal age have no way around this law. However, there are some marketers that sell to underage tobacco users. But the industry is hardly to blame for that. The President devised a plan to raise prices of tobacco over the next four years in an attempt to discourage tobacco consumers. Realistically, no proposition such as that could ever be more ignorant and bemused. This scheme only gives rise to the industry. More profit for the tobacco unit Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. Argumentative Essay On Tobacco Although many claim the opposite smoking tobacco has been proved scientifically to be addictive. Addiction is when a person is physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance and is unable to stop taking it without incurring unpleasant effects. Once the body tastes nicotine the addictive chemical found in cigarettes it craves for more. Nicotine creates a pleasurable feeling that appeals to the smoker. However, since nicotine is the only addictive drug in tobacco if extracted from tobacco then tobacco won't be addictive. Each cigarette contains 10 milligrams of nicotine drug, but a person only inhales 1 to 2 milligrams of that nicotine which is still enough to cause addiction.

This paper discusses the long–term effects of using nicotine effects on brain social implications and gives details about death rates among people who use tobacco. According to research, nicotine produces mood–altering effects in a person's brain which are temporally pleasing. Sometime back one of my friends who were a regular smoker claimed to feel good and motivated to do any task after he smoked. Although he later on stopping smoking he always said that smoking was the best thing that had happened in his life. I, later on, discovered that the reason behind his happy mood after taking a puff was contributed by nicotine, which triggered his brain to produce a happy feeling. Use of nicotine is said to cause several social influences. For instance, smoking plays an integral part in starting a conversation among smokers. A conversation is normally started as a smoker asks for a light or a cigarette. In addition, it is also difficult for a person to quit his/her friends whom they smoke together. Some of the long–term effects of smoking include sleep disorders irritability, lack of concentration severe headaches and anxiety. Pure nicotine is said to be extremely poisonous and it can cause death. Currently, use of nicotine is said to be causing the highest number of deaths in the United States.

  • 12. Persuasive Essay On Tobacco Too many Americans die every year due directly because of cigarettes. Cigarette use and other tobacco related products are a very complex and controversial topic to discuss. The statistics prove that tobacco does not only direct harm to the user but potential harm to others around the user. With government data displaying the affects cigarettes have on a person's life from most significantly health problems to financial troubles, anti–cigarette groups are astonished as why cigarettes, and tobacco as a whole, are not banned in modern day America. Every year more than 480,000 deaths occur because of cigarettes (CDC). While being one of the highest causes of death each year in the United States, it may shock the nation that cigarette related deaths are also the leading preventable cause of death. There are many proposed solutions of how to limit or ban cigarettes and tobacco in America. While I see banning tobacco as a very effective tactic if society followed rules, I do not think it would totally work. Smokers would still get tobacco and cigarettes illegally the same way the nation did during the Prohibition. Stopping the illegal trade of tobacco would then become a bigger problem and an even more complicated task. Additionally, banning would not change the mind of the smoker. I believe the tactic needs to have the smoker question their decision to continue smoking. The tactic should burden the smoker if continuing to smoke. A general tactic I think would work is the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Teen Smoking Essay One of the largest issues today is adolescent smoking. According to a heath based website, nearly 90% of adult smokers start while they are still teens and they never intend to get hooked. They may start by bumming a cigarette or two from a friend at a party, and then go on to buying an occasional pack. Soon they realize that they can't go without that pack. They've gotten used to reaching for a cigarette first thing in the morning, after meals, or during any stressful time. They become addicted, both physically and psychologically. According to the American Lung Association, each day 6,000 children under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette. Almost 2,000 of them will become regular smokers – that's 757, 000 new smokers annually! ...show more content... These teens may think that smoking shows that they are old enough to make their own decisions. To make matters worse, the tobacco companies are making millions from teen smokers. Tobacco companies use advertising to manipulate both teens and adults. They present images that are hard to shake, even when you know the truth. Have you ever seen a cigarette ad where people are wrinkled, middle–aged or coughing and in the hospital dying of lung cancer? Of course not! In most ads, smokers are shown the way that teens would like to be: attractive and hip, sophisticated and elegant, or rebellious. A 2002 study performed by the Research Triangle Institute states that the tobacco companies make 1.8 billion dollars annually from underage sales. It is interesting that they are making such large profits when it is illegal for a person under the age of 18 to purchase cigarettes. A recent survey by the The American Lung Association indicated that among students under 18 years old who were current smokers, 69.4% reported never being asked for proof of age when buying cigarettes in a store, and 62.4% were not refused purchase because of their age. 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?

Persuasive Essay On Tobacco And Alcohol Today many companies– such as tobacco and alcohol industries will advertise to whoever they can get as much business as possible: this includes teens and those struggling with health issues.
