The biggest issue in the society today is having the right to do as you please. The government is responsible for protecting the society, but they seem to hold many restrictions that are a bit too much. Decisions that the government make has an effect on people action’s and negative feedback. To help eliminate the confusion, it would be best to gather other people’s opinions before making a decision from one individual.

Observing family members and friends, smoking could influence children to start at an early age. As a little girl, I lived around smoking family member. I remember playing around with my cousins, picking up cigarettes and trying to smoke them after a family member threw it out. This is a prime example of Matur (2014) point of view on children. Matur (2014) express how different it would make a child to not live with individuals that smoke. Cohen Mansfield (2012) compared the generation today and the old-old generation.

Based on the professional standards, is the creation of such policies ethical?
The policies are ethnical to some sense. In regard to child, the last say so or decision is left up to the parent. Some parents may be for or against the healthier nutrition and teaching of the no smoking habits. In school, you have to be careful how you express the issue of drugs and alcohol. Children tend to hear bits and pieces of the concept and go home telling parents the wrong
