The community action plan that I am going to initiate is banning smoking in a vehicle that children ride in. According to Daily the Post, “Secondhand smoke refers to tobacco smoke that is passively breathed in by people in the vicinity of a person who is smoking” (2014). Secondhand smoke can cause diseases in all ages, but can be worse on children. I think it should be illegal for anyone to smoke around children in such an enclosed space such as a vehicle, where children have to ride.…

Smoking bans in the United States have been around since the 1970’s. Since then different states have made their own laws about where you are allowed to smoke in public areas.

It could be said that majority of people are in favour of the ban since smokers are not only harming themselves and it might hinder some people to go out as they might be considerably sensitive towards tobacco’s smell and its chemicals.

As a society we have developed so much. Science, medicine, and technology itself are all proof of these progressions. So why, when we have so much knowledge and information at our fingertips, are there still people doing unnecessary things such as smoking when they know that it is not good for them? Why do they smoke while knowing that what they’re doing is slowly, but surely hurting and killing them? More importantly, why do they smoke in public thus putting that many more people in danger?…

is smoking. Although there are many regulations in place within America, people are starting to try and place a ban on this widely accepted use. However, a ban would be dangerous just as Thomas A.

Situation As a nurse in one of the local hospitals in Louisiana, I have noticed that many children are hospitalized with various health issues like ear infections, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, rhinitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and sore throats. These medical issues have become common among students in the region without a clear understanding of the major contributing factors.
