The Tobacco safety movement
By:Preston
The smoking movement happened in May 28 on 2000 it has happened because many families were wondering why their loved ones are dying from smoking. They thought since it did not warn them the could smoke their products.
So they thought something was up as they would soon learn the (CDC) said that anybody that smokes will get lung cancer and die. Well that made them all mad and made them march because they thought that if they are going to use there products they should know that it will kill them . They all marched for many days months years and weeks till one day the (CDC) told the government after many years that they had to put warning labels on their cigarettes.
They did not put down the ads to get people to smoke so they were still at a high risk for smoking when they showed ads urging people to smoke. So they stop people from smoking just a little bit. So a couple years later the (CDC) made a new requirements that you can’t advertise smoking cigars to the public to tempt them into smoking it.
Which made everybody more relaxed also they still had many arguments with people who thought that it was okay to advertise smoking products or not warn them because it put down their businesses and rating approvals. so the (CDC) made a compromise that you could put smoking ads but you have to put smoke prevention ads to balance it out. Well after awhile they did a phase where they did not want any ads to make people smoke.
Did you know that cigarettes have more than 7000 chemicals and that you can get lung cancer heart cancer and disease it is very harmful to your to your body and can kill you it has
- Cyanide
- Benzene
- Formaldehyde
- Methanol (wood alcohol)
- Acetylene (the fuel used in welding torches)
- Ammonia
- nicotine
As a result all of those are very harmful and you should never put in your body. if you see somebody smoke tell them to stop if you think its cool its not cool. you should know that smoking does not help you for any reason. and smoking is just not helpful to you and your family. Also if you smoke look and see if you can find help to stop you from smoking.
