Do you want to die? Do you want your children to experience early deaths? These questions run through my mind every time I witness people puffing away on their cigarettes. It genuinely hurts me to see parents smoking around their children. As if this isn't enough to promote smoking among the young, there are a number of other elements that encourage them to smoke. As one writer explains, "They've learned from movies and advertising that smoking makes them more mature and sophisticated" (Chen 29). They would look anything but sophisticated lying in the morgue with family and friends hovering over, grieving. This case is closed! The cause of death is lung cancer at age 35. Also as another writer states, "Recently tobacco companies have found new ways to promote their products to youth. They support their sporting events and concerts, and even give them discounts on hip clothing" (Schwartz).We, the people, need to come up with a sensible solution on how to cut down on cigarette smoking amongst the young and old. There are many sensible solutions that could be tried. We could always pass a law stating complete prohibition of tobacco products, but as we look back at the 18th Ame

Unfortunately, I will admit that there are hills to climb before we can start this education process. First, will people listen? Educating children wouldn't be as difficult has educating adults. With children we could incorporate smoking education into their everyday schooling where they are forced to listen or they fail. I am proposing that there should be in depth information presented to the children about the consequences of smoking. For example, when I took a chemistry course, my instructor would preach on how careful you had to be when working with chemicals. He would use real life stories to explain what happens when we misuse the chemicals. A lot of the time I was terrified to

ndment, prohibition of alcohol, that may not be such a wise choice. Some may say that prohibition should be passed on tobacco products because they are un-nutritional. That statement is a farce! This couldn't be passed as a general rule because "...there's absolutely no nutritional reason for adding salt to food, or consuming beer, whiskey, butter, potato chips, and candy..." (Williams 35). My view is if prohibition were to pass, that's fine, but we should brace ourselves for a new generation for Al Capones. This is why it is time to take the initiative to educate our selves and the younger generation on the harmfulness of tobacco products.

First of all, I think everyone has the common knowledge that "tobacco products are harmful"(Bowles 32). So why do people use them? The first puff of a cigarette is

Another question that may arise is where are we going to get the money to fund these classes? Money isn't a problem when smoking classes are being taught in the schools. Nothing changes in that sense. As for funding outside of school classes, such as those available to adults, there are some simple solutions to raising money. Getting support from larger anti-smoking organizations is always a plus and sometimes they will
