parents are the main cause of smoking. They said some of it may be genetics and the other is the environment

you live and the amount of stress you have. The CDC also took matter in their own hand and rose prices of

cigarettes and they also prohibited smoking in certain areas. This article is perfect for my background research

have decided that educational, clinical, regulatory, economic, and social strategies—has been established as the

best way to eliminate the negative health and economic effects of tobacco use. The FDA has set in laws and

regulations to limit the sale of cigarettes. For example the tobacco control act gives the FDA permission to

regulate the tobacco industry. This is a good overview of the the sources associated with The debate over the

ban of cigarettes. This is a great source for my background research because it answers my question of what

the government is doing to prevent tobacco from being sold. Aspa. “Preventing Tobacco Use

Among Youth and Young Adults.” SurgeonGeneral.gov, www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/reports/preventing-

talk about the statistics and how tobacco use is increasing. Aspa then describes when young adults usually start

and how usually by twenty six they are a full time smoker. The article focuses on how it is worse to smoke if

you are younger and the consequences are deadlier. This is also a good source because it answers my questions

and gives me exact numbers and goes in depth of the differents kinds of tobacco teens use.

cause awareness towards asthma. It also helps my background research because it explains the causes of the

causes of second hand smoke and explains the reasoning behind the diseases and deadly effects. It also answers

my question on how I can help prevent smoking and secondhand smoking and bring awareness to this

epidemic.
