The widespread usage of tobacco has been an ongoing battle for many years and that is why it is sometimes considered the silent killer.The number effected world wide is estimated to roughly over 7 million people per year.]]> 2019-04-12 02:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022406 cdell2016 https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022551 Tobacco is a harvest, most recognized as the key ingredient to making cigarettes. It is developed everywhere throughout the world and plays a significant role in a billion-dollar industry. The major ingredient of tobacco is a stimulant, well known as nicotine. Nicotine is a very dangerous chemical that should not be taken lightly.]]> 2019-04-12 02:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022551 cdell2016 https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022715 Tobacco can trigger disruptions within the human body in many ways such as elevated blood pressure which raises the probability of a stroke or heart attack. Another serious condition that could be the product of tobacco usage is vasoconstriction. This is a well known condition that involves the constriction of blood transmissions throughout the body by decreasing the space for the blood to flow. It can also become very addicting due to the chemicals in the nicotine as well as have a negative effect on the human senses. ]]> 2019-04-12 02:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022715 cdell2016 https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022754 When it comes to diminishing tobacco usage in a global manner or perspective, one must understand the two types of interventions needed for this entire process to work. Demand-Side interventions such as price increases, advertising and promotional bans, and smoking restrictions are effective at reducing tobacco-attributable mortality and morbidity. Tax reforms and age restrictions would be a great example of these interventions. The Global Tobacco Control Program aims to decrease the consumption of these products by taking an economic approach to the issue with tax reforms. The other type of intervention that plays a part in decreasing tobacco usage would be the Supply Side Interventions. Unlike Demand Side interventions, measures to reduce tobacco supply are less promising due to the competitive market.]]> 2019-04-12 02:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022754 cdell2016 https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022788 The best way to truly diminish tobacco use is to teach the effects at a very young age so nobody is ever surprised of the outcome in the early stages of their lives. Countries must initiate educational programs to discuss the ramifications that come with the use of tobacco before it’s too late and more individuals end up as just another statistic.]]> 2019-04-12 02:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022788 cdell2016 https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022935 The ongoing battle with tobacco is far from over and the future is likely to be unknown as well. Aside from the general knowledge of what these products can do to the human body, the statistics alone should be enough to decrease the amount of users from all over the world. If we continue to allow tobacco to consume the lives now, it will continue to do so as time goes on. ]]> 2019-04-12 02:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cdell2016/837b4kapnr9r/wish/351022935
