The Dangers Of Tobacco And Tobacco
With more people dying from tobacco related illnesses than any other source, smoking and tobacco use is the single largest source of preventable
deaths in the world. There have been many attempts at controlling smoking in America which not only harms the user but also the people around them.
None of the attempts have succeeded fully so far. This essay will show why by providing evidence and history about smoking and tobacco use and
analyzing current actions or rather inactions addressing this problem; this essay will explain the nature of this tobacco epidemic, and examining the
steps needed to further resolve this problem.
One of the reasons why tobacco is so hard to remove from American society is the depth of which it was buried into American history. Tobacco
been used for as long as America was a country, and even before that, in colonial times. European nations first encountered tobacco use by the
Native Americans. According to Cotton (1998) on October 12, 1492, Christopher Colombus was offered dried leaves as a token of friendship by
native Arawaks. The leaves turned out to be tobacco, which the Native Americans smoked for the purpose of communicating with spirits. (para. 2).
As the exploration of the Americas increased, tobacco was brought back to Europe and it quickly caught on. The popularity of tobacco was so great,
that at its peak price, it was worth the same as its weight in silver (Cotton, 1998, para. 18). When the colonies were first established, tobacco was

The consumption of tobacco and cigarette products have consistently shown harmful and life changing consequences, but the course of history
represents how difficult it can be for people to change this popular and ingrained lifestyle habit. The use of these products can be dated back to the 16th
century in which tobacco was on the rise. Their popularity was first seen in Europe directly in the England, but they quickly moved to the New World.
Part of this advancement was due to the profitability of the production of the plant and how it led to many consumers coming back for more which is
ultimately why a large portion of the world's population struggle with tobacco and cigarette addiction. Although there are multiple strong organizations
that attempt to prevent consumers from beginning to smoke in the first place, there are still too many issues within manufacturers that make smoking
cigarettes and tobacco the main cause for preventable deaths around the world.
Before the discovery of the New World and the development of the colonies, the tobacco plant was mainly used for medicinal purposes in prior years
(Newman). However, it was then discovered as a pleasurable activity and was soon brought to the attention of others. This created a massive jump in
demand of the crop in which production would eventually boost. In order to comply with the insistence to have the crop, slaves were brought to farm
the plant in large plots of farmland. Around the world smoking tobacco was seen

Tobacco And Tobacco
Smoking is the act of breathing in the smoke produced by burning tobacco either in cigarettes, cigars or pipes. Smoking was introduced to the
European culture by explorers such as Christopher Columbus, the practice soon spread across the globe. Smoking (2017) describes the use of tobacco
products in the early 20th century as medicinal. Health practitioners believed smoking would aid in elevating the disposition, concentration and
productivity of their patients. However, by the early 21st century the converse to this theory had been proven. Smoking had been identified as one of
the leading causes of mortality and disease globally. Smoking is still widespread today, although there are many religious, social and medical
discussions against it.
Tobacco (2017) explains that harsh chemicals are used in the production process of tobacco as early as planting. Healthy tobacco seedlings are
planted in soil that has been somewhat sterilized by using chemicals such as Bromomethane or burning. This is done to protect the crops from
disease, pests, weeds and roundworm, however bromomethane is considered illegal in many countries due to its highly toxic nature. Once matured
the tobacco leaves are cured either by air, fire or flue methods. After curing tobacco is graded and packaged for sale to the manufacturers (Tobacco,

The younger the individual when they initially start smoking, the greater the possibility of addiction and becoming a lifelong smoker (King, 2015).
Tobacco addiction is an issue the United States is struggling with, partially due to the fact that 90% of adult smokers began before or by the age of 18
(Ahmad, 2015). Researchers believe that since younger people become easily addicted to tobacco and older people have an easier time quitting tobacco
product use, raising the minimum age for tobacco sales could prevent this addiction from spreading (Ahmad, 2015). Public opinion about tobacco use,

The state hopes to accomplish this through their Tobacco 21 bill, but they worry about compliances with the retailers of tobacco products. In order to
ensure compliance, the State Department of Health Services in California will conduct 4 random checks annually at tobacco outlets (Ahmad, 2015).
There are an estimated 73,700 tobacco selling outlets in California which means there will be a total of 294,800 inspections per year (Ahmad, 2015).
To help support the Tobacco 21 bill, the government of California has developed an elaborate computer model. The model calculates the possibilities
if the legal tobacco age was raised from 18 to 21 while including multiple aspects in the consideration of the results presented by the model. The
model presents drastic changes in smokers of all different age categories over a fifty year span (Ahmad, 2015). The 14–17 year old category is
estimated to drop from 15.4% to 2.4%, the 18– 20 year old category could drop from 16.8% to 7.9%, and the 21 and older category could drop from
16.7% to 12.6%. The model also presented the results for the legal age being increased to 19 or 20, and while those results proved that the
prevalence dropped, it is not as drastic as if the age were raised to 21. This proves that the age gap between 21 year olds and underage tobacco users is

Tobacco was responsible for over 100 million deaths worldwide in the 20th Century (Cancerresearchuk.org). Tobacco and nicotine use is a growing
problem in our world. There are 13 deadly cancers that develop from tobacco use. As stated in cancer.gov, the cancers that develop fromtobacco use
include the following: lung, larynx, mouth, esophagus, throat, bladder, kidney, liver, stomach, pancreas, colon/rectum, and the cervix. Over the years,
the amount of people who develop lung cancer and other illnesses from tobacco use has increased enormously. When considering how tobacco use

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

The Dangers Of Tobacco And Smoking
Everyday occurrences in our life become normal we don't take a second glance. We are surrounded by smoking day to day everywhere we go even if
we don't smoke it affects us. It has been in our society for generations. Families have grown up with family members that smoke or even smoking
themselves. Smoking is a large part of our society spending billions while boosting the economy with sales and ads; in the midst of so much negativity
surrounding smoking which is it good or bad? We hear the negatives all the time but upsides to smoking are never discussed.
Tobacco and smoking were not always used how they are today. Back around 600 to 900 A.D. many cultures grew tobacco and Native Americans
would smoke and use it within religious ceremonies and for medical uses (History of Tobacco). Toward the middle of the 1800's American's started
to smoke tobacco occasionally either from a pipe or a cigarette; not like people smoke today was very occasional stated in the History of Tobacco.
The first main stream production of cigarettes began in 1865 but were made for soldiers in the Civil War. In 1881 that is when business picked up and
everyone started smoking more frequently due to the mass amount of cigarettes being produced and the access to them (History of Tobacco).
Since cigarettes have only been around for a little over a hundred years it was very new. Most people smoking cigarettes were not aware that there
could be hazardous chemicals within cigarettes. In the mid 1980's

Essay on The Consequences of Tobacco
Yes indeed tobacco has consequences. In fact tobacco is one of the most leading causes of death in the world today. Smoking has begun to take over
our everyday life. It is the number one most leading cause of death in the world today, and also the number one substance smoked or chewed today.
But what people do not realize is that there are consequences to smoking tobacco, or eating it. Tobacco is hazardous to the human body system,
therefore it should be banned due to the fact that it causes serious problems to those who do smoke, causes second hand smoking, and causes gum
diseases. Too many people in the world today are dying mainly because of the diseases tobacco brings forth, and one of those diseases is lung cancer.

such as the government, and the people who smoke it. Tobacco Company undoubtedly makes a huge load of money from selling tobacco products to
the markets. The tobacco industry has made more than $1.8 million in political contributions to federal candidates, political parties and political
committees. According to a quarterly report issued by the Campaign for Tobacco–Free Kids Action Fund and Common Cause, since 1997, the tobacco
industry has contributed more than $27.7 million to various political action committees. And since 1999, tobacco companies have also spent more
than $101 million on lobbying the U.S. Congress. Indeed, the tobacco industry spent more than $21.2 million to lobby Congress in 2003. That
amounts to approximately $127,000 spent on lobbying for every day that Congress was in session. Another reason is that people get stressed. As we
all know, smoking starts at a very young age. Some at the of 14–15. As the outcome of all of this millions of deaths occur. According to recent news

Tobacco Companies And Responsibility Of Tobacco
Tobacco Companies and Responsibility
Tobacco companies should be held responsible for any smoking related illness or death. The use of tobacco is the leading preventable cause of
disability, disease, and death in the U.S. About 1 in every 5 deaths in the United States is tobacco related and an additional 16 million people are
currently suffering with a serious illness or disease due to smoking. For every one person who dies from smoking, about 30 others suffer from at least
one serious tobacco related ailment. A typical smoker will take 10 "puffs" on a cigarette over a time period of about 5 minutes of that cigarette
being lit. Therefore, a person who smokes about 1 pack (25 cigs.) daily would receive 250 "hits" of nicotine each day. Nicotine is a highly addictive
substance found in the ingredients of a cigarette. Although the nicotine is addictive and can be toxic if ingested in high dosage, it does not cause
cancer in itself; the other chemicals in tobacco are responsible for the related health problems. If tobacco companies are aware their products are
addictive and harmful, they should be responsible for consequences that follow (National Institute of Drug Abuse).
What is tobacco? Tobacco is a plant that is grown natively in both North and South America. It is believed by some that tobacco began growing in the

Tobacco became very popular in Europe when brought by Christopher Columbus. "On October 15, 1492, Christopher Columbus was offered dried
tobacco leaves as a gift from the American Indians that he encountered. Soon after, sailors brought tobacco back to Europe, and the plant was being
grown all over Europe" (University of Dayton). It was popular throughout the ages till scientific studies found out that tobacco products are very
harmful to the human body. The chemicals in the tobacco products harm the human body functions. Therefore, using tobacco products will gradually
affect on its users' health, such as their lungs, immune system, stomach, mouth, skin and heat, because tobacco products contain almost 4,000
chemicals in them, such as nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, and carcinogenic compounds. When people met tobacco at first, they liked it and used
it. It didn't have any dangerous chemicals at that time because tobacco products were not mixed with the dangerous chemicals. Therefore, people used
it just as nicotine that was less harmless than the nowadays' tobacco products. For example, "there are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes.
When burned, they create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are poisonous" (Lung.org).

Big Tobacco : The Dangers Of Tobacco Uses
Big Tobacco companies have found new and innovative ways to continue to draw society to their products through strategic advertisement. Many
people have become victims to Big Tobaccos' targeted practice without knowing the dangers of their products. One highly controversial tobacco device
is the electronic cigarette or E–cigarette.
What are electronic cigarettes? "Electronic cigarettes (e–cigarettes) are battery powered devices that deliver vaporized liquid–often containing nicotine.
They commonly resemble a cigarette but come in many different shapes and sizes. The liquid used to produce the vapor from e–cigarettes can come in
a variety of flavors." (Wheeler, 2016) This brand has become extremely popular among young adults (college students). According to CDC.gov,
"E–cigarettes are now the most commonly used form of tobacco by youth in the U.S. And dual use, or using both e–cigarettes and conventional
cigarettes, is common among youth and young adults 18–25 years of age. Reasons reported by young people for using e–cigarettes include curiosity,
taste, and the belief that e–cigarettes are less harmful than other tobacco products." Big Tobacco has used these reasons to drive their marketing
campaigns for electronic cigarettes by appealing to the interest of young adults. Moreover, they have also used creative ways of attracting

Smoking And Tobacco
Tobacco was originally produced in the 1600s for smoking and chewing, and took off in popularity as the hand–rolled cigarette form following the end
of the Civil War. Smoking and tobacco use have been popular research topics for quite some time– probably since the first research was performed
regarding the link between tobacco and cancer. Since then, countless studies have been performed regarding smoking and tobacco use, focusing on the
statistics of the different forms of tobacco, consumption by demographic(s), health links beyond cancer – the list could go on. Due to the wide array of
studies performed, it is difficult to report on the research of smoking and tobacco consumption as a whole. As such, today, the key topics discussed will
be current smoking and tobacco trends in the U.S. and barriers to smoking cessation.
It is known that cigarette smoking continues to be the prevalent cause of preventable death and disease in the United States. That said, according to
surveys conducted by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking rates have declined in the U.S. by about 5% from 2005–2015. Further
examination of these survey results illustrate that while rates are declining, the rate continues to be high in particular groups of the population. For

Controversy On Tobacco
A controversy over tobacco has been the main interest of the Indian Government and Tobacco Industries. The value of profit and ethical concerns are
the primary factors underlying the debate between two opposing parties.
The prohibition of tobacco has been trending in foreign nations such as Finland, Norway and France. To conduct similar constraints is the intention of
the government of India. Endangerment and possible victims of hazards are the concerns of those who are in favor of banning tobacco as well as other
precarious commodities such as handguns and narcotics in India. Millions of deaths around the world have been the aftereffect of tobacco and cigarette
smoking since the 90's. Predictions of an increase of death toll would occur in the latter years to come. Utilization of tobacco among the youth is the
product of propagandas' enticements. Consequently, an increase in medical expenses such as hospital bills and health care expenditures would become
the repercussion of such consumption. Additionally, even supposing that the occupation of 26 million people is the liability of tobacco industries, a
boycott of tobacco and job turnovers would not create an adverse impact on the economy of India. Investments in other stocks would enhance the
Indian economy. Finally, a decline of tobacco consumption would become fruitful if there is a proper implementation of banning tobacco endorsements.

Social Determinants of Health
Social factors associated with higher rates of smoking include low SES being unemployed, homeless, mentally ill, those who are incarcerated, and
single parents. (see Bryant at end). Perhaps the strongest associations are between low SES and higher rates of tobacco use. Sadly, those with low
SES not only are more likely to smoke, but evidence shows they are less likely to quit successfully.
In the U.S., only 20% of those at or above the poverty level smoke, compared with 30% of those below the poverty level (Hiscock, Bauld, Fidler,
and Munafo, 2012). Teenage girls of families with lower SES are more likely to smoke (Hiscock et al, 2012). In addition, those with low SES are less
likely to quit smoking successfully and may be less likely to intend or attempt to quit (Reid, Hammond, Boudreau, Fong, and Siahpush, 2010). Reid and
coauthors surveyed over16,000 smokers in the US, UK, Canada and the United Kingdom and found that those with higher education were more likely
to say they intend to quit smoking, attempt to quit and to be abstinent for between one and six months. Higher income was also associated with stated

Stop Selling Tobacco And Tobacco Products
American's spend a startling $156 Billion dollars every year on tobacco and tobacco related products and an additional $133 Billion dollars on
healthcare for diseases that originate from smoking and chewing tobacco. The human toll is also significant with a projected 8 million people to die
every year by 2030. To combat these extreme statistics CVS Caremark, now CVS Health, has decided to make the hard business decision to stop selling
tobacco products in all 7,700 of its drug stores. The decision stemmed from changing its image from a corner store that fills prescriptions to a
health care company that is trying to "reinvent the pharmacy to have a more supportive and active role in health care". To show support for the
idea, petitions have been popping up on Change.com like the one by Michael Brochstein of New York, New York who is calling for other drug store
giant Walgreens and its subsidiary Duane Read to follow in CVS's footsteps and stop selling tobacco products also. Proponents of the idea say that if
these giants stop selling tobacco then regular purchasers will have to go elsewhere, making it less convenient and possibly making smokers move in
the right direction, to quit smoking and hopefully curve the smoking rate as a whole. This is needed because although smoking has been on the

A dangerous product that can kill a human every second around the world and can carry a large cost for families and their treatment for diseases such
as cancer and heart disease is caused by the product called tobacco. Tobacco–related diseases and deaths can affect smokers' lives at an early stage and
cause a decline in productivity and income. Smoking will not only affect the person's life, but will also affect people around him or her by causing
many diseases. Nicotine found in cigarettes is a strong addiction, substance equal to heroin and cocaine; therefore, it will be difficult to quit smoking,
but to convince smokers to get rid of the smoking habit, governments can raise tobacco products' taxation, make users pay higher health insurance
premiums, and make smokers pay a health tax. Raising tobacco taxes is (or are?) the most effective way to reduce addiction and save millions of
lives. Tobacco taxation will make cigarettes' price very high, which leads to decrease in buying rate; poor families will be unable to buy cigarettes, so
they will prefer to get rid of smoking habit over time. The determination to work on the tobacco tax policy will strike and hurt the cigarette industry,
which reduces the manufacturing rate of these products. A price increase is more effective in reducing tobacco use among young people than among

Tobacco Influences On Tobacco
Tobacco was grown by American Indians. It is a green plant that grows in a warm climate. After, it is picked, it is dried, grounded up, and used in
different ways. American Indians smoked tobacco through a pipe for special religious and medical purposes. Tobacco was the first crop grown for
money (Kunitza S.J., 2016). Nicotine is a chemical in tobacco products. The nicotine in tobacco is what makes the product a drug. Individuals began to
use small amounts of tobacco. Some individual chewed it. Others smoked it occasionally in a pipe, or they hand–rolled a cigarette or cigar (Kunitza, S.
J., 2016). The article Historical Influences on Contemporary Tobacco Use by Northern Plains and Southwestern American Indians states that " By the
early 20th century roll–your–own cigarettes had become widely available, with Bull Durham being the most popular brand"(Kunitza, S. J.,
2016).Second–hand smoke not only causes serious health problems to the smoker, but it also affects others exposed to it. Second hand smoke is when
smoke exhales into the air and it can be inhaled by others. The definition of harmful from the Merriam Webster dictionary states that harmful is
"something that is causing damage or likely to cause harm" (The Merriam Webster Dictionary, 2004). Therefore it is important to protect your body

implications that tobacco could have on one's health, including causing cancer, heart disease and reducing lifespan. Nonetheless, those who watched

To accurately analyze the tobacco industry, we chose to view the industry through both deontological and teleological lenses.
The tobacco industry knowingly provides a product that is both addictive and detrimental to the health of their customer. Extensive studies have
conclusively confirmed the significant negative health and economic impacts of this product. From a deontological perspective, the tobacco industry has
a clear duty to educate their customers, and the public, of the dangers of being exposed to their product. Despite this duty, the industry has illustrated
unethical behavior in the past. Over the last several decades, numerous studies have confirmed various health impacts on the users and bystanders.

The War on Tobacco
Tobacco Regulation Tobacco companies have been in a battle with anti–smokers for a while about regulating tobacco, and there has been a war
between tobacco companies and anti tobacco crusaders, because of regulating tobacco and some lawsuits. For one viewpoint regulating tobacco would
be a good thing to do, anti tobacco crusaders are saying that regulation of tobacco is necessary to protect public health; on the other hand the other
viewpoint is say that the tobacco companies are saying "regulation of tobacco will do more harm than good." There are two sides to this war on

Young people may start to be curious about smoking at some point in time in their life. They might like the idea of doing something dangerous or

Tobacco Industries And The Tobacco Industry Essay
Smoking can most easily be defined as the most harmful habit to the human body.
This is one of the biggest problems today that are killing people in the United States and around the world. Big tobacco companies are making
billions of dollars off of people dying and getting people hooked on cigarettes or any tobacco product. Many states are now challenging these
companies by raising the tobacco age so young adults and teens will not become hooked or be dependent on tobacco. For tobacco companies young
adults and teens are their main target audience that they depend on them so that cash keeps pouring in. Tobacco companies kill their best customers.
Specifically, I am addressing the question: "In the U.S., to what extent do age–related restrictions on the marketing and sale of tobacco products affect
the major tobacco industries and their customers?"
Largely thanks to the importance of education and anti–smoking campaigns, the prevalence of smoking on young adults is decreasing, but with new
inventions such as vaping and e–cigarettes this could backfire (Kendall, 2013). Nonprofit organizations such as ASH: Action on Smoking & Health

world, which are cured by a process of dying and fermentation for smoking, chewing, and other uses. Columbus was the first european to discover
tobacco in 1492. Tobacco back then was used for trade. It was major trade item for Great Britain and American colonies. It wasn't until 1556 that the
first report of a smoking englishman is of a sailor in Bristol.
Tobacco can be consumed in many ways. The most popular way is by smoking it of which are many ways to consume it, including pipes, cigarettes,
and cigars. Another one is with hookah, which is an oriental tobacco pipe with a long flexible tube that draws the smoke through water contained in a
bowl. Many people think that hookah is a safer way to smoke tobacco but its not. "A research done by the University of Maryland shows that smoking
tobacco through water does not filter out cancer–causing chemicals. Water–filtered smoke can damage the lungs and heart as much as cigarette smoke.
But hookah smoke does not burn the lungs when inhaled because it is cooled through the water in the base of the hookah. Even though the smoke is
cooled, it still contains carcinogens and it is still very unhealthy." There is also snuff and chewing

Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of death throughout the United States and many other countries. For American Indian/Alaskan Native people,
recreation cigarette smoking is the number one leading cause of death among these communities. For generations, tobacco has had a strong spiritual
and sacred meaning to the Native American people even before the plant became recreationally used. Tobacco is believed to make individuals and
families strong and free and live a long–healthy life. Traditional tobacco is also believed to be a symbol for peace and healing (Hodge and Struthers
2016, 209). For many years, tobacco has been used in important ceremonies, as a bush medicine, and for the burial of the deceased. During these
times, traditional tobacco was not used recreationally by the members of the Native communities, but recently commercial tobacco has made its way
into these Native American Communities (Barnoskie et. al 2006). Compared to youth of other ethnic backgrounds, Native American youth use
tobacco and drugs at a significantly higher rate (Cole et. al 2000). The media has a huge influence on tobacco use among the public, and large
tobacco companies rely on the media to help sell their product. Adolescents especially can be easily influenced by the media and advertising, which is
a key subject to keep in mind when helping individuals stop smoking. Using drugs and tobacco at an early age often results in a lifelong addiction,

Tobacco
Tobacco is one of the leading preventable causes of death in the United States.
Nicotine, which is an alkaloid derived from the tobacco plant, is a potent chemical that has powerful effects on the human body, especially when
administered rapidly or at high doses. Prenatal exposure to nicotine is associated with adverse reproductive outcomes, including altered neural structure
and functioning, cognitive deficits, and behavior problems in the offspring (9). At least 20% – 30% of pregnant women are estimated to smoke
cigarettes, although smoking is associated with low birth weight, prematurity and infant mortality. In the United States, smoking accounts annually for
estimated fetal deaths ranging from 19,000 to 141,000, for 1,900 ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A similar study by Lauren S. Wakschlag, onmaternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of conduct disorder in boys, revealed that mothers who
smoked more than half a pack of cigarettes daily during pregnancy were significantly more likely to have offspring who met DSM–III–R diagnostic
criteria for Conduct Disorder during the preadolescent or adolescent years than women who did not smoke or smoked only occasionally during
pregnancy. These findings support previous work showing that maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with increased rates of preschool and
school–age behavior problems and delinquency in the offspring.
The relationship between smoking and low birth weight, prematurity, and miscarriage has been well established. The effects of nicotine are seen in
every trimester of pregnancy, from increased spontaneous abortions in the first trimester to increased premature delivery rates and decreased birth
weights in the final trimester. In 1957, Simpson first noted in an observational study of 7,499 patients that the incidence of premature delivery, as
defined by a birth weight less than 2,500g, was twice as great for the smoking mother as compared with the nonsmoking mother (5). A similar study by

Thomas Schmeling is the author of a scholarly journal in which he states,
Between March 1994 and September 1998, the attorneys general of forty–two states filed lawsuits against the major tobacco companies, seeking
compensation for Medicaid funds that had been paid by the state to treat the smoking–related diseases of their citizens. The suits ended in late 1998,
with a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) in which the industry agreed to pay forty–six states $206 billion over twenty–five years. (Stag)
But one of the most famous cases that are on file involves Michael Moore. The suit was filed in May of 1994 in Mississippi. The proceedings of
the case went as follows, " . . . . Attorney General Moore argued that the tobacco companies were liable to the state itself for reimbursement for the
costs of medical care of sick smokers" (Schmeling). This legal approach had a completely different defense strategy then that of traditional class
action lawsuits involving the tobacco industry. In the end tobacco companies just wanted to put these cases to bed and move on. In one academic
journal by Schmeling he says, "It is more likely that the goal was to bring the tobacco companies to the settlement table by the mere threat of a large
number of trials and appeals, regardless of the likely outcome" (Stag).

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:

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

The Origins of Tobacco

The Spanish and Portuguese word tobacco comes from Tiano, the Awakan language of the Caribbean. The N.Tabacum plant is no longer grown in
the wild because it has been so long cultivated. Tobacco originated in Virginia but is now mainly grown in Russia, India and Turkey. The usage of
Tobacco is actively practised by approximately 1.1 billion people and up to one third of the adult population. Statistics of smoking show that the use of
tobacco has either levelled off or declined in developed countries but still continues to increase in developing countries. After the mid–twentieth century
tobacco became condemned as a health hazard and was eventually named as a primary cause for cancer as well as other circulation and repertory
diseases. In July 2013 the W.H.O (world health organisation) estimated that tobacco caused approximately 5 million deaths per year through direct use
and a further 600 000 from non smokers being exposed to second hand smoke (shs).

The Dangers Of Tobacco And Tobacco

  • 1. The Dangers Of Tobacco And Tobacco With more people dying from tobacco related illnesses than any other source, smoking and tobacco use is the single largest source of preventable deaths in the world. There have been many attempts at controlling smoking in America which not only harms the user but also the people around them. None of the attempts have succeeded fully so far. This essay will show why by providing evidence and history about smoking and tobacco use and analyzing current actions or rather inactions addressing this problem; this essay will explain the nature of this tobacco epidemic, and examining the steps needed to further resolve this problem. One of the reasons why tobacco is so hard to remove from American society is the depth of which it was buried into American history. Tobacco been used for as long as America was a country, and even before that, in colonial times. European nations first encountered tobacco use by the Native Americans. According to Cotton (1998) on October 12, 1492, Christopher Colombus was offered dried leaves as a token of friendship by native Arawaks. The leaves turned out to be tobacco, which the Native Americans smoked for the purpose of communicating with spirits. (para. 2). As the exploration of the Americas increased, tobacco was brought back to Europe and it quickly caught on. The popularity of tobacco was so great, that at its peak price, it was worth the same as its weight in silver (Cotton, 1998, para. 18). When the colonies were first established, tobacco was ...

  • 2. Tobacco And Tobacco The consumption of tobacco and cigarette products have consistently shown harmful and life changing consequences, but the course of history represents how difficult it can be for people to change this popular and ingrained lifestyle habit. The use of these products can be dated back to the 16th century in which tobacco was on the rise. Their popularity was first seen in Europe directly in the England, but they quickly moved to the New World. Part of this advancement was due to the profitability of the production of the plant and how it led to many consumers coming back for more which is ultimately why a large portion of the world's population struggle with tobacco and cigarette addiction. Although there are multiple strong organizations that attempt to prevent consumers from beginning to smoke in the first place, there are still too many issues within manufacturers that make smoking cigarettes and tobacco the main cause for preventable deaths around the world. Before the discovery of the New World and the development of the colonies, the tobacco plant was mainly used for medicinal purposes in prior years (Newman). However, it was then discovered as a pleasurable activity and was soon brought to the attention of others. This created a massive jump in demand of the crop in which production would eventually boost. In order to comply with the insistence to have the crop, slaves were brought to farm the plant in large plots of farmland. Around the world smoking tobacco was seen ...

  • 3. Tobacco And Tobacco Smoking is the act of breathing in the smoke produced by burning tobacco either in cigarettes, cigars or pipes. Smoking was introduced to the European culture by explorers such as Christopher Columbus, the practice soon spread across the globe. Smoking (2017) describes the use of tobacco products in the early 20th century as medicinal. Health practitioners believed smoking would aid in elevating the disposition, concentration and productivity of their patients. However, by the early 21st century the converse to this theory had been proven. Smoking had been identified as one of the leading causes of mortality and disease globally. Smoking is still widespread today, although there are many religious, social and medical discussions against it. Tobacco (2017) explains that harsh chemicals are used in the production process of tobacco as early as planting. Healthy tobacco seedlings are planted in soil that has been somewhat sterilized by using chemicals such as Bromomethane or burning. This is done to protect the crops from disease, pests, weeds and roundworm, however bromomethane is considered illegal in many countries due to its highly toxic nature. Once matured the tobacco leaves are cured either by air, fire or flue methods. After curing tobacco is graded and packaged for sale to the manufacturers (Tobacco, 2017).. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are produced with many additives to control shelf life, disguise the irritations caused by nicotine and to create a more ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Tobacco Of Tobacco And Tobacco The younger the individual when they initially start smoking, the greater the possibility of addiction and becoming a lifelong smoker (King, 2015). Tobacco addiction is an issue the United States is struggling with, partially due to the fact that 90% of adult smokers began before or by the age of 18 (Ahmad, 2015). Researchers believe that since younger people become easily addicted to tobacco and older people have an easier time quitting tobacco product use, raising the minimum age for tobacco sales could prevent this addiction from spreading (Ahmad, 2015). Public opinion about tobacco use, the Tobacco 21 bill, California's computer model, retail, and the comparison in impact between alcohol and tobacco purchasing ages are all considered ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The state hopes to accomplish this through their Tobacco 21 bill, but they worry about compliances with the retailers of tobacco products. In order to ensure compliance, the State Department of Health Services in California will conduct 4 random checks annually at tobacco outlets (Ahmad, 2015). There are an estimated 73,700 tobacco selling outlets in California which means there will be a total of 294,800 inspections per year (Ahmad, 2015). To help support the Tobacco 21 bill, the government of California has developed an elaborate computer model. The model calculates the possibilities if the legal tobacco age was raised from 18 to 21 while including multiple aspects in the consideration of the results presented by the model. The model presents drastic changes in smokers of all different age categories over a fifty year span (Ahmad, 2015). The 14–17 year old category is estimated to drop from 15.4% to 2.4%, the 18– 20 year old category could drop from 16.8% to 7.9%, and the 21 and older category could drop from 16.7% to 12.6%. The model also presented the results for the legal age being increased to 19 or 20, and while those results proved that the prevalence dropped, it is not as drastic as if the age were raised to 21. This proves that the age gap between 21 year olds and underage tobacco users is significant enough to reduce the start of use and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

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.

Toward the middle of the 1800's American's started to smoke tobacco occasionally either from a pipe or a cigarette; not like people smoke today was very occasional stated in the History of Tobacco. The first main stream production of cigarettes began in 1865 but were made for soldiers in the Civil War.

The tobacco industry has made more than $1.8 million in political contributions to federal candidates, political parties and political committees.

  • 9. Tobacco Companies And Responsibility Of Tobacco Tobacco Companies and Responsibility Tobacco companies should be held responsible for any smoking related illness or death. The use of tobacco is the leading preventable cause of disability, disease, and death in the U.S. About 1 in every 5 deaths in the United States is tobacco related and an additional 16 million people are currently suffering with a serious illness or disease due to smoking. For every one person who dies from smoking, about 30 others suffer from at least one serious tobacco related ailment. A typical smoker will take 10 "puffs" on a cigarette over a time period of about 5 minutes of that cigarette being lit. Therefore, a person who smokes about 1 pack (25 cigs.) daily would receive 250 "hits" of nicotine each day. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in the ingredients of a cigarette. Although the nicotine is addictive and can be toxic if ingested in high dosage, it does not cause cancer in itself; the other chemicals in tobacco are responsible for the related health problems. If tobacco companies are aware their products are addictive and harmful, they should be responsible for consequences that follow (National Institute of Drug Abuse). What is tobacco? Tobacco is a plant that is grown natively in both North and South America. It is believed by some that tobacco began growing in the America's about 6000 B.C. As early as 1 B.C.

  • 10. Tobacco And Tobacco Tobacco became very popular in Europe when brought by Christopher Columbus. "On October 15, 1492, Christopher Columbus was offered dried tobacco leaves as a gift from the American Indians that he encountered. Soon after, sailors brought tobacco back to Europe, and the plant was being grown all over Europe" (University of Dayton). It was popular throughout the ages till scientific studies found out that tobacco products are very harmful to the human body. The chemicals in the tobacco products harm the human body functions. Therefore, using tobacco products will gradually affect on its users' health, such as their lungs, immune system, stomach, mouth, skin and heat, because tobacco products contain almost 4,000 chemicals in them, such as nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, and carcinogenic compounds. When people met tobacco at first, they liked it and used it. It didn't have any dangerous chemicals at that time because tobacco products were not mixed with the dangerous chemicals. Therefore, people used it just as nicotine that was less harmless than the nowadays' tobacco products. For example, "there are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When burned, they create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are poisonous" (Lung.org).

  • 11. Big Tobacco : The Dangers Of Tobacco Uses Big Tobacco companies have found new and innovative ways to continue to draw society to their products through strategic advertisement. Many people have become victims to Big Tobaccos' targeted practice without knowing the dangers of their products. One highly controversial tobacco device is the electronic cigarette or E–cigarette. What are electronic cigarettes? "Electronic cigarettes (e–cigarettes) are battery powered devices that deliver vaporized liquid–often containing nicotine. They commonly resemble a cigarette but come in many different shapes and sizes. The liquid used to produce the vapor from e–cigarettes can come in a variety of flavors." (Wheeler, 2016) This brand has become extremely popular among young adults (college students). According to CDC.gov, "E–cigarettes are now the most commonly used form of tobacco by youth in the U.S. And dual use, or using both e–cigarettes and conventional cigarettes, is common among youth and young adults 18–25 years of age. Reasons reported by young people for using e–cigarettes include curiosity, taste, and the belief that e–cigarettes are less harmful than other tobacco products." Big Tobacco has used these reasons to drive their marketing campaigns for electronic cigarettes by appealing to the interest of young adults. Moreover, they have also used creative ways of attracting inexperienced users such as using celebrities in advertisement, developing several types of flavors, creating cartoons and telling users not ...

  • 12. Smoking And Tobacco Tobacco was originally produced in the 1600s for smoking and chewing, and took off in popularity as the hand–rolled cigarette form following the end of the Civil War. Smoking and tobacco use have been popular research topics for quite some time– probably since the first research was performed regarding the link between tobacco and cancer. Since then, countless studies have been performed regarding smoking and tobacco use, focusing on the statistics of the different forms of tobacco, consumption by demographic(s), health links beyond cancer – the list could go on. Due to the wide array of studies performed, it is difficult to report on the research of smoking and tobacco consumption as a whole. As such, today, the key topics discussed will be current smoking and tobacco trends in the U.S. and barriers to smoking cessation. It is known that cigarette smoking continues to be the prevalent cause of preventable death and disease in the United States. That said, according to surveys conducted by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking rates have declined in the U.S. by about 5% from 2005–2015. Further examination of these survey results illustrate that while rates are declining, the rate continues to be high in particular groups of the population. For example, young adults age 25–44 and middle age adults age 45–64 have higher smoking rates around 17% for each group, whereas those younger than 24 and older than 65 with significantly lower rates.

  • 13. Controversy On Tobacco A controversy over tobacco has been the main interest of the Indian Government and Tobacco Industries. The value of profit and ethical concerns are the primary factors underlying the debate between two opposing parties. The prohibition of tobacco has been trending in foreign nations such as Finland, Norway and France. To conduct similar constraints is the intention of the government of India. Endangerment and possible victims of hazards are the concerns of those who are in favor of banning tobacco as well as other precarious commodities such as handguns and narcotics in India. Millions of deaths around the world have been the aftereffect of tobacco and cigarette smoking since the 90's. Predictions of an increase of death toll would occur in the latter years to come. Utilization of tobacco among the youth is the product of propagandas' enticements. Consequently, an increase in medical expenses such as hospital bills and health care expenditures would become the repercussion of such consumption. Additionally, even supposing that the occupation of 26 million people is the liability of tobacco industries, a boycott of tobacco and job turnovers would not create an adverse impact on the economy of India. Investments in other stocks would enhance the Indian economy. Finally, a decline of tobacco consumption would become fruitful if there is a proper implementation of banning tobacco endorsements. ...

Sadly, those with low SES not only are more likely to smoke, but evidence shows they are less likely to quit successfully. In the U.S., only 20% of those at or above the poverty level smoke, compared with 30% of those below the poverty level (Hiscock, Bauld, Fidler, and Munafo, 2012). Teenage girls of families with lower SES are more likely to smoke (Hiscock et al, 2012). In addition, those with low SES are less likely to quit smoking successfully and may be less likely to intend or attempt to quit (Reid, Hammond, Boudreau, Fong, and Siahpush, 2010). Reid and coauthors surveyed over16,000 smokers in the US, UK, Canada and the United Kingdom and found that those with higher education were more likely to say they intend to quit smoking, attempt to quit and to be abstinent for between one and six months. Higher income was also associated with stated intention to quit and abstinence of at least one month (Reid et al, 2010).

  • 15. Stop Selling Tobacco And Tobacco Products American's spend a startling $156 Billion dollars every year on tobacco and tobacco related products and an additional $133 Billion dollars on healthcare for diseases that originate from smoking and chewing tobacco. The human toll is also significant with a projected 8 million people to die every year by 2030. To combat these extreme statistics CVS Caremark, now CVS Health, has decided to make the hard business decision to stop selling tobacco products in all 7,700 of its drug stores. The decision stemmed from changing its image from a corner store that fills prescriptions to a health care company that is trying to "reinvent the pharmacy to have a more supportive and active role in health care". To show support for the idea, petitions have been popping up on Change.com like the one by Michael Brochstein of New York, New York who is calling for other drug store giant Walgreens and its subsidiary Duane Read to follow in CVS's footsteps and stop selling tobacco products also. Proponents of the idea say that if these giants stop selling tobacco then regular purchasers will have to go elsewhere, making it less convenient and possibly making smokers move in the right direction, to quit smoking and hopefully curve the smoking rate as a whole. This is needed because although smoking has been on the decrease since the early 1990's, recently getting to a low of 18% percent of white males being smokers, it is still an epidemic that kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, ...

Tobacco–related diseases and deaths can affect smokers' lives at an early stage and cause a decline in productivity and income. Smoking will not only affect the person's life, but will also affect people around him or her by causing many diseases. Nicotine found in cigarettes is a strong addiction, substance equal to heroin and cocaine; therefore, it will be difficult to quit smoking, but to convince smokers to get rid of the smoking habit, governments can raise tobacco products' taxation, make users pay higher health insurance premiums, and make smokers pay a health tax. Raising tobacco taxes is (or are?) the most effective way to reduce addiction and save millions of lives. Tobacco taxation will make cigarettes' price very high, which leads to decrease in buying rate; poor families will be unable to buy cigarettes, so they will prefer to get rid of smoking habit over time. The determination to work on the tobacco tax policy will strike and hurt the cigarette industry, which reduces the manufacturing rate of these products.
