    American Express Hiring Smokers

    A board member for American Express has brought up the fact that some companies are starting to refuse hiring smokers and that the same should be discussed at the next month’s meeting. He brought this to attention due to the fact that medical costs are rising 10 to 15 percent a year. Employing a smoker, on average, cost about $4000 more a year because of higher Health-Care cost and lost productivity. Smokers will have 50 percent more absenteeism and because of smoke break will work 1,817 hour less a year, that’s 39 minutes of lost productivity per day even when they’re present. Would it be ethical for American Express to not only refuse smokers but to fire current employees that smoke, or is it the choice of the person to make whatever decision they please?…

    Summary Of Rethinking Our Right To Dangerous Behaviors By Mark Bittman

    In Rethinking Our ‘Rights’ to Dangerous Behaviors, Mark Bittman tries to bring attention to unseen or disregarded dangers to the average citizen about the often corrupt ways of Big Business. People often overlook the process of how a product reaches their hands. Most often people only care that they have something to consume, food, drink, medicines or cigarettes, or a product, cars or guns, to show off to friends and neighbors. “But Freudenberg details how six industries — food and beverage, tobacco, alcohol, firearms, pharmaceutical and automotive — use pretty much the same playbook to defend the sales of health-threatening products. This playbook, largely developed by the tobacco industry, disregards human health and poses greater threats to our existence than any communicable disease you can name.”…

    Should Mr. Chapman Be Allowed To Treat Anxiety?

    Case 3 Part C For the case of Mr. Chapman, our group decided that he should not be allowed to smoke and another alternative method should be used to treat his anxiety. This action is consistent with the level of moral behavior that I anticipated because action needed to be taken to either prevent or allow Mr. Chapman to smoke. As mentioned earlier, we recommended that Mr. Chapman find an alternative method to reduce his anxiety. Possible solutions include medication, or a nicotine patch and gum.…

    Not All Companies Are Viewed Equal: Rights of Tobacco Companies

    People have so many things that tempt us daily and for some people tobacco is one of those things. Some people view it as a stress reliever. We have fast-food restaurants, ice-cream shops, doughnut & coffee shops, bars, liquor stores, and a lot more things that can tempt someone every single day. Just because we have things out there to tempt us, does not mean that we have to buy the product. Now we all know that tobacco is very detrimental to one’s health. However, at least R.J. Reynolds really takes pride in their products and they make sure they do everything in their power to follow regulations, policies, and procedures. “In June 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began regulating cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products.” We are all aware of the risks of smoking and sometimes unfortunately, things will happen to…

    Long Live the Career Smoker

    In a study conducted through the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, it was found that between the years of 1998-2006, fifty percent of American children were exposed to second hand smoke on a daily basis. Dave Eggers, having experienced this statistic first-hand, tends to have a very biased but yet unique opinion as to why smokers continue with their habit-- even though they are all well aware of the possible outcomes of their choices. In 1998, Eggers wrote an essay that was published in Esquire Magazine. Continuing to fight the idea of smoking and it’s after-effects, Eggers uses personal experience, interviews, and research into tobacco companies to depict the one idea in regards to a smoker’s death that has gone unanswered for far too long: “Ultimately, who’s to blame?”…

    CVS CASE STUDY NO TOBACCO

    CVS has recently decided to eliminate cigarettes from their vast options of items to purchase at all of their locations. Surprising at first you might ask yourself, why would a company willingly give up on over two billion dollars of profit annually? The primary answer being conveyed by CVS executives is that “Tobacco products have no place in a setting where health care is delivered.” This company is making a bold statement that money does not affect the way we feel about our customers. Scott Mushkin, an analyst with Wolfe Research in New York stated that “ CVS has aligned its business to the pharmacy, Tobacco is an ancillary business, and it’s not the reason why most people go to CVS.”…

    Prosecutorial Discretion Case Study

    It is a fact that prosecutorial discretion under American law, government refers to prosecuting attorneys having almost complete possession of controlling influence (Fairfax Jr., R. A. (2011). However, prosecutors with allowable proof beyond a reasonable doubt might refuse to seek a conviction. Nevertheless, declinations are sometimes established in legitimate law enforcement principles, for example, the absence of ample social control resources. A prosecutor, however, might decrease a commendable prosecution simply because of the fact he or she disagrees with the appropriate law or its application in the particular case. Even though the prosecutorial is not really reviewed or checked and maybe abused it is necessary to an efficient operation…

    Regulate Drugs Research Paper

    Drugs and alcohol have always been a problem in the United States but alcohol has also always been a part of the culture. The government needs to know how to regulate alcohol but as for drugs I believe they are in no way positive. Alcohol should be legal and it is but it needs to be regulated because the people who are drunk don’t think correctly and can do very dangerous things putting others in harm. If alcohol is used correctly it is just a source of pleasure and overall can be every safe. But if you over drink and get ahold of a gun you could kill yourself or kill others. I believe the government should regulate personal vices like the use of drugs and alcohol.…

    Weyco employees were of mixed opinion about the tobacco-free policy. One employee who gave up cigarettes commented, "I had to choose between whether I wanted to keep my job and whether I wanted to keep smoking. To me it was a no-brainer." But another, who left the company rather than quit smoking, derided the invasion of privacy. "You feel like you have no rights," she said. "It had to do with my privacy in my own home."…
