The document discusses teen smoking and its health risks. It notes that tobacco use primarily begins during adolescence, with 1/3 of smokers starting before age 14. Smoking causes various cancers, heart and lung diseases, and is currently predicted to cause 6.4 million premature deaths among children who currently smoke. The teen mind is more susceptible to addiction due to an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex and a desire to fit in. Nicotine binds to the brain's reward system, reinforcing smoking behavior. Education, legislation, and social support can help prevent teen smoking.

Positive psychology
Positive psychology is a scientific study that focuses on human flourishing and optimal functioning. It aims to understand and build the positive qualities in individuals and institutions. The field emerged after World War II when psychology shifted its focus from understanding human potentials to healing mental illness. Some key aspects of positive psychology include positive prevention, which enhances traits like hope and optimism to buffer against psychopathology. Positive interventions are evidence-based activities designed to improve well-being, such as practicing gratitude, forgiveness, and savoring. Seligman's PERMA model outlines the five pillars of well-being: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and achievement.

Positive psychology is the scientific study of positive experiences and traits that facilitate well-being and optimal functioning. It operates from a strengths-based model rather than focusing solely on pathology. The field aims to develop meaning, fulfillment, and positive emotions through examining engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement. Major figures in the field include Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and Christopher Peterson. Evidence shows that positive interventions including gratitude journals, acts of kindness, and using signature strengths can increase well-being and decrease depressive symptoms. Critics argue it may ignore suffering, but proponents emphasize it embraces a full range of human emotions and experiences.

Reasons teenagers start include psychological factors like depression and social factors like peer pressure. Short term effects include bad breath and long term effects include cancer, heart disease, and premature death. The document lists the many toxic chemicals found in cigarettes and costs over $12,000 to smoke for 5 years. It encourages quitting now for health and financial benefits.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
