In Erik Larson’s “Devil in the White City” his character Olmstead said “that we are always personally under an agitating pressure and cloud of anxiety.” This quote directly resonates with my life and how I subject myself and my body to physiological symptoms of anxiety, especially towards things that are not that serious. One task that causes me to feel uncomfortable is calling a stranger on the phone. I will delay making the call even if it’s regarding a minor question such as finding out the opening and closing times for a store. It’s on the edge of becoming a professional handicap, because calling is a useful way to get a faster reply. Still, I would rather opt for sending an email regardless of how time consuming it will be to get a response.…
"Cigarettes kill you" that was the warning provided in the box – cigarette packs at this time. The sentence is very simple. However, if the note its meaning, this sentence is very terrible. Not even just that sentence, the Government has also provided the picture – a terrible picture of the consequences of smoking on the packaging. If we humans are smart and think, of course we are aware of the meaning of sentences and horrifying pictures. However, still there are people – people who are not acknowledged it. They quietly continue to suck the smoke – smoke harm. They don't know the deeds that have a very dangerous impact both for himself as well as people-people who are in the vicinity. To be able to convert smokers, here is the paragraph that discusses the impact – an impact that could be caused by smoking on human health.…
Known CPR The Right Way One thing that ever person on earth should know is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).A person will never know when or were it my come in to use. A lot of people say that they know how to give CPR but, most of them will not give it in the create way or will panic and freeze up when the time comes. Hopefully this course will teach you the create process in CPR training. Hopefully you will never need to perform CPR but if you do you will now have the skills to save someone life. Check the victim for pulse or look to see if the victim chest is moving. If there is no response, Call 911 and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions. Tilt the head back and listen for the victim breath. If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 2 seconds. If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compression's. Put one hand on top of the other and enter lock them then proceed by pushdown on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 15 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of100/minute, faster than once per second. CPR for children is similar to performing CPR on a adults. There are, however, 4 differences. If you are alone with the child give one minute of CPR before calling 911.Use the heel of one hand for chest compression's. Press the sternum down 1 to 1.5 inches. Give 1 full breath followed by 5 chest compression's. Shout and gently tap the child on the shoulder. If there is no response, position the infant on his or her back. Open the airway using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do not tilt the head too far back. If the baby is NOT breathing give 2 small gentle breaths. Cover the baby's mouth and nose with your mouth. Each breath should be 1.5 to 2 seconds long. You should see the baby's chest rise with each breath. Give five gentle chest compression's at the rate…
We developed an understanding of the long and short term risks with smoking through researching on the internet on websites to do with cancer research and ASH. We discovered a lot of benefits to stopping smoking. One benefit was that their life expectancy increased and stopping also helped their lungs to recover and decreased the risk of contracting diseases such as Emphysema. We found information about pregnant women and their unborn children and how smoking can effect them. We found that the child could be miscarried, or they could have a considerably lower birth rate compared to other children whose mothers didn’t smoke during their pregnancy. Furthermore, we also found information about how harmful passive smoking is to children and adults. We found out that young children could experience cot death and become deaf through middle ear disease. Furthermore, we found information supporting that adults could contract lung cancer through passive smoke which we found was 80% invisible.…
The first reason why this article would captivate American audiences because , Americans think they know all they can know about cigarettes when they don't the half of them . Like the filters on cigarettes don't actually work .Many americans today probably think that the white filters on cigarettes actually work , by reduced some of the smoke inhalation you receive or some think it cleans the smoke somewhat . When in actuality all they do it reduce the particle size of soot , making it easier for soot more to get in your lung and go even deeper into your respiratory cavity . What is soot exactly ? Soot is a black powdery or flaky substance consisting of largely of amorphous carbon , produced by the incomplete burning of organic…
The Editorial from The Daily messenger, in their opinion piece entitled “Time for the Very Last Puff” responds to the issue of smoking being a “serious, costly, health hazard”. It is clear that The Editorial feel as though smoking is a serious danger to the community and it is up to society to put and end to it. The Editorial approaches the issue with a sarcastic tone, which dismisses the opposing views in a passive aggressive manner. This sways the reader by having them join in on the “joke”. The Editorials main audience for this article would be all current smokers as well as family and friends of smokers that could encourage them to quit their “toxic” and “poisonous” habits.…
The anti-smoking advertisement of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has the power of convincing people that smoking is very harmful to their health. In the early stages it harms the internal body organs. Gradually the scars which were inside began to appear. Terrie Hall’s photo challenges the consumption of cigarettes that was promoted by the smoking companies and contradicts the assumption that smoking cigarettes is not so harmful to our health. In the end, “Every time you light a cigarette, you are saying your life is not worth living.”…
Smoking causes many health risks and is hazardous to your life. Smoking is responsible for several diseases, such as cancer, long-term (chronic) respiratory diseases, and heart disease, as well as premature death. “Over 440,000 people in the USA and 100,000 in the UK die because of smoking each year. According the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), $92 billion are lost each year from lost productivity resulting from smoking-related deaths”(MNT).…
It is a healthier and wiser decision for smokers who don’t want their bodies, or others’ bodies to be affected (Siegel). With the device’s growing acceptance rate, many will choose to cross over to the e-cigarette route. This is seen as a problem to those who oppose the issue for several reasons. This new fad is making the e-cigarette fashionable which may result in higher nicotine consumption, and even act as a gateway for those who never smoked before (S.C.S.). The ability one has to select different flavors is exciting, and can feel like picking out candy. This can be incredibly attractive to children (S.C.S.), and make smoking as socially acceptable, even as ‘cool’ as it was in the 50’s and 60’s. This could be terrifying to some, and an exciting development to…
Over time, cigarettes and smoking have developed a bad reputation. People don’t understand that the real problem is not the negative sides of smoking, but the people who refuse to smoke. These people are an irritation, and want to spoil your fun. In fact, smoking can be very beneficial to society; the positives of smoking clearly outweigh the negatives. It is important for the world to increase smoking habits because of the positives like changed physical features, a shortened lifespan, and a new social image.…
says “51 out of 4000 chemicals” are something that causes cancer or known to be “Carcinogenic.” However, smoking cigarette is not only causing cancer but also other serious disease such as “increasing the risk for stroke, coronary heart disease, lung disease by 2-4 times” and “diabetes, affect men’s sperm, and are dangerous for pregnant women.” According to World Health Organization, tobacco use kills about “six millions people per year,” which more than “five millions people” die from consuming cigarette directly while more than “600.000 people die as second-hand smoking.” Just in 20th century, tobacco has killed approximately “100 million people” and if it continues, tobacco will cause “1 billion deaths in 21st century”…
According to the filmmakers and their research, tobacco smoke contains carcinogens, which are cancer producing substances. When interviewing a representative of the Philip Morris International Inc., Dr. Helmut Wakeham (V.P. Science & Technology), he was asked questions about the negative side effects and ingredients and asked if they, the company, denied it or if their research showed otherwise; ultimately, he did not disagree with or deny the claims. He was more specifically questioned about whether he could “say that cigarettes do no harm to the cigarette smoker”, but he completely dodged the question by stating, “I’m not in a position to say, I don’t know what harms a cigarette smoker or what doesn’t harm him…you must be trying to get me to admit that cigarette smoking is harmful”. This simply shows that these tobacco companies know exactly what their product is, and what harm it can cause, and despite the shocking facts revealed or known, they continue to grow their businesses and continue to sell the harmful product to the naive public. In fact, once Marlboro became recognized as the number one selling cigarette brand, after twenty-five years of hard work and research, the World Health Organization named smoking as one of the primary causes of Lung Cancer, Bronchitis, Emphysema, and Heart Disease.…
“The more you chew, the more lip you lose.” -Anonymous. The American Cancer Society (ACS) shares that spit or smokeless tobacco is a less lethal, but still unsafe, alternative to smoking. No form of smokeless tobacco is a safe substitute for cigarettes. Still, tobacco companies often market these products as alternatives to smoking in places where smoking is not allowed (Smokeless). Many uniformed consumers of smokeless tobacco, including my boyfriend seem to believe the media hype and tobacco companies that smokeless tobacco is less harmful than smoking cigarettes. However, research shows that three out of four daily users of snuff and chewing tobacco have pre-cancerous lesions in the mouth. This essay will provide…
The teens in 2014 have fallen victims to the multi-flavored electronic cigarettes trap, where they were persuaded to try the new flavors that the e-cigs came in. The vapors from the e-cigs deplete the lungs’ walls, making it a semi-permeable entrance letting in outside substances that will, later in the future, cause deadly harm. E-cigarettes first appeared in the U.S. market in 2007, designed to help tobacco addicts eliminate their smoking addiction. Recent research, however, indicates that vaping does not boost quit rates [in the smokers’ population] (SN Online: 3/24/14). The only safe and possible purpose for the e-cigs was to help smokers quit but as a result the e-cigs weren’t even helpful with that either. The most dangerous place that an e-cig can be is in the hands of a teenager states Mitch Zeller, director of the Center for Tobacco Products at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Md. The nicotine vapor from the e-cigs not only helps deplete the long walls but it also plays a role in the lung inflammation process. As the prominent student at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, Irina Petrache puts it, these exposures caused increased oxidative stress and resulted in a buildup of inflammatory cells in the lungs of the mice. We were surprised at how quickly we saw this inflammation (Online…

The characters in this story, namely the grandfather and his grandson, reveal to us their individuality, principles, morals, and ethics doing so they unfold a map that reveals their mental reality. Because their principals, morals and ethics reveal to us their mental reality, then their mental reality discloses the reality of the society in which they live in.…
