The Effects, Politics, and Regulatory Control of Tobacco Use

Effects, Politics, and Regulatory Control of Tobacco Use

Tobacco use is the primary cause of mortality in the United States today. Tobacco use is responsible for cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and heart disease and has caused the deaths of nearly half a million people per year. Tobacco control, prevention, and treatment are compelling and urgent public health issues. The development of tobacco control laws have been passed by a number of states.
Write a comprehensive overview of the health effects, politics, and regulatory control of tobacco use control efforts. Your paper should be based on the following points:

  • What are the factors (biological, environmental, economic, and political) that contribute to tobacco addiction? What are the medical consequences (morbidity and mortality) for tobacco users?
  • What is the public health impact (epidemiological and economic) of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure?
  • How do tobacco control regulations relate to positive and normative economics?
  • How do tobacco control regulations impact individual health care
  • What is the public health policy regarding tobacco control? What is the role of the state and Federal Government in policy making?
  • What is the history of regulatory tobacco control? What is the current state of tobacco control in the United States (states that have passed tobacco control regulations)?
  • What is the evidence that tobacco control is effective?

Based on your understanding, create a 6- to 7-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the above questions. You need a minimum of five scholarly sources that should be in APA format for both in-text citations and citations on the reference page.
This assignment requires a title page, an abstract, an introduction, a body, a conclusion, and a reference page.

Meal  Assessment
The  purpose  of  this  project  is  to  get  students  to  look  deeper  into  the  implications  of   their  personal  food  choices  by  evaluating  a  dinner  that  they  consume  (it  could  be  a   lunch  or  a  breakfast,  but  dinners  tend  to  have  more  components  which  is  why  I  have   chosen  to  suggest  that  you  analyze  a  dinner).      What  we  are  asking  you  to  do  is  to  -­‐  in   as  much  (real)  detail  as  you  can  manage  –  analyze  the  components  of  the  meal  and   to  ask  questions  about  where  the  food  items  came  from,  where  they  may  have  been   processed,  and  how  they  may  have  gotten  to  wherever  it  was  that  it  was  purchased.       You  can  make  this  as  complicated  or  as  simple  as  you  want,  but  the  grading  will  be   done  on  the  following,  and  you  must  use  up  at  least  2  pages  (double  spaced,  times   new  roman  font,  12  point  size  font;  or  1000  words  if  you  use  charts  and  bullet   points):

(organic,  gluten  free,  etc)
• Succinct  but  detailed  (and  hopefully  correct)  definitions  of  any  terms
you  choose  to  use  (ie  “natural”,  “healthy”,  “local”,  etc)
• Choose  one  of  the  items  and  look  more  indepth  (easiest  to  do  with  the
protein  or  main  item  of  the  meal  –  for  example  if  you  are  having   chicken,  look  at  the  different  classifications  of  chicken;  or  if  you  are   having  fish,  discuss  the  differences  (both  good  and  bad)  between  farm   raised  and  wild,  etc.)

Research Paper-SOCI 201

SOCI 201


Research Paper – Final Submission Instructions

By the end of Module/Week 7, you must submit the final version of your research paper. The paper must thoroughly address your chosen social problem, investigate possible solutions for the problem, incorporate five peer-reviewed resources and journal articles, and have a properly formatted reference page.

Final Research Papers will be between 6 to 8 pages in length. It is important to convey your subject and topic content concisely for your final assignment. Longer assignments have a tendency to veer off subject. It is important to clearly write about your topic. (An example of a research paper outline is included below which might be of interest to you).

Remember that you must discuss the roles that the church, the family, and the community should play in the solutions to the problem. Additionally, be sure to incorporate biblical support for the positions and opinions that you express.

Review the grading rubric to improve the quality of your paper. Your paper will be submitted through SafeAssign, a tool used to detect plagiarism.

An example of a research paper which you might use to guide you, using APA guidelines which can be reviewed through the Writing Center:

Title Page

The title page for a research paper can be reviewed through the Writing Center and if you have an APA Manual 6th ed. p. 41 includes an example.

Abstract

Double-spaced, flush left margin. An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article. An abstract reports rather than evaluates. Be brief, and make each sentence informative, especially the lead sentence. An abstract will be viewed alone on the page. An abstract will not include citations per APA guidelines.

Introduction

The body of a manuscript opens with an introduction that presents the specific problem being studied, and describes the research strategy. Although not mandatory, APA citations can be included in an introduction.

Headings will enhance academic writing

Headings provide sound organizational structure to clear, precise information and communication you wish to convey to your reader. Headings throughout your paper will enhance academic writing and can assist the reader to anticipate key points and track the development of your argument.

Three to four pages of topic content using headings should present a concise research assignment demonstrating your understanding of the content. Remember, single sentence paragraphs are too abrupt, and paragraphs which are too long are likely to lose the reader’s attention.

Conclusion

Be sure to tie your research paper together with a strong concluding paragraph. A strong conclusion will tell the reader briefly what has been researched and discussed.

Reference

APA reference style can be reviewed through the Writing Center and your APA Manual

6th ed. pp. 198-210.

Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7.
