1). In another smoking study involving adolescents -- this one in three counties in north central Florida (Putnam, Gilchrist, and Union counties) -- adjusted the well-known "Smoking Consequences Questionnaire" format and created the "Adolescent Smoking Consequences Questionnaire" (ASCQ) (Lewis-Esquerre, et al
1). Another study -- published in Science Daily -- researched the smoking habits and attitudes of 7,795 adolescents; researchers found that "Teenage girls who are dieting are almost twice as likely to start smoking regularly as girls who are not dieting" (Maldonado-Molina, 2007)
Another interesting element in the behavior of cigarette taxes is that they are regressive in nature. This basically means that "smoking rates increase as the income level of the group declines, so that the poor segment of the population tends to be hit particularly hard by cigarette taxes" (Cordes, Ebel and Gravelle, 2005, p
During a corporate meeting, one of Hopkins' characters' employees mentions that joining John Bontecou is every bit as certain as death and taxes. Pitt's character finds the combination a rather odd pairing (Goldman, 1998)
Nevertheless, an increase in the cigarette tax only looks good on paper. The past endeavors have shown that no major increases are obvious in the contributions to the state budgets as people either smoke less, either purchase their cigarettes from states which impose lower taxes (Williams, 2008, p
The FDA has strong guidelines that are aimed at making sure that tobacco companies provide a strong anti-smoking message to children. Although the actual measure outlined by the FDA such as only black and white advertisements in magazines where there is a High youth readership and the placement of billboards away form school does not appear to be breached (FDA, 2000), the spirit of the FDA regulations has definately been breached with the use of a cartoon character
Since the Surgeon General's report in 1964, the proportion of males who smoke has decreased from more than 50% to about 28% while the percentage of women who smoke has fallen from about 34% to 23%. By 1994 an estimated 46 million Americans had quit smoking cigarettes; there are now as many ex-smokers as there are active smokers (Jarvis, 1996, p
It remains, true, of course, that many people continue to die in our own century of diseases that we do not understand well and have no clear remedy to, but the generations alive today may be seen to be on the far side of what can be seen as a great epidemiological transition in the human species. This is the process by which the pattern of mortality and disease is transformed from one of high mortality among infants and children and episodic famine and epidemic affecting all age groups to one of degenerative and human-caused made diseases (such as those attributed to smoking) affecting principally the elderly or at least the adult (Pendell, 1996, p
In light of these issues, e-cigarettes and their increased use among adolescents has considerable impact on pediatric nursing. Pediatric nurses are increasingly looking for ways to educate the pediatric population about the probable negative health impacts, create awareness on this public health issue, and the need for policies to regulate smoking e-cigarettes in public areas (Johnson & Pennington, 2014)
One of the recommendations or means of resolving the issue is regulation of electronic cigarettes by the Food and Drug Administration. The regulation would help ensue these products are subjected to proper quality standards that will include disclosure of ingredients (Hepp, 2014)
Decision makers including policy makers have become concerned with the need to develop policies for smoking e-cigarettes because of the potentially harmful effects of the products. Some of the potentially harmful effects of e-cigarettes include acute pulmonary impacts, lung function effects, and increased addiction to nicotine (Leader, 2014)
The legislators involved have established a health policy team mandated with the task of tracking and evaluating legislation throughout the states to determine trends and emerging issues relating to the impact of e-cigarettes on public health. Some legislators have drafted an act to amend public health law in order to include e-cigarettes within provisions that focus on regulating or limiting smoking in certain public areas (Rosenthal, 2015)
Not only do these chemicals flood the air around smokers, but there is also some evidence that these chemicals stick around even longer than previously thought. Thirdhand smoke is generally considered to be residual nicotine and other chemicals left on a variety of surfaces by tobacco smoke and contains many potential health hazards and cancer causing substances (Dale, 2014)
These concerns have increased because of the lack of regulation of these products while relevant agencies find it difficult to establish such regulations because of difficulties in determining what they contain. Proponents of these devices contend that they lack of tobacco combustion lessens toxicant exposure for users unlike traditional cigarettes (Callahan-Lyon, 2014, p
