Section 3
This article talking about people kept on using tobacco and
smoke it without even wondering how it can affect them or if it is good or bad
for their health. Also, smoking can be very dangers for health it is one of the
addictions that people can’t let go easily which is one of the nicotine types. .
Therefore, it increased number of death dramatically, which is bad to the
countries and can affect negatively in the future.
Section 4
Cigarettes produced all around the world and it affected in
two ways, positive and negative. It helped economy to grow but the negative
affect is the way it affected people health it doesn’t only affect the smoker
but it can effect on the people around the smoker himself. The main type of
cigars was tobacco, according to the writer this kind can left you so dizzy
after trying it and keep vomiting because of the nicotine in it, then day by
day they start to get used to it which can make their minds so out of world. In
addition, the smoker body become more depended on the nicotine with everything
happens to them they end up smoking. That’s the point where we can call it
addiction that can even affect their mood and control it. However, this kind of
addiction is bad and danger for health because of the diseases it can cause
such as cancer. Cancer has so many types but the one smoking can cause is the
lungs and 90% of people who have lung cancer is because of the cigars. Also
there is the other disease of lungs that smoking can cause called chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD that can drive to death. There are more
lung disease and heart diseases cigarettes can cause.

Section 3
Article title is Smoking, health knowledge, and anti-smoking
campaigns: An empirical study in Taiwan, the article was talking first about
how cigarettes produced and then how it became famous and some of the results
that smoking caused then it ended by talking about anti-smoking and its types. The
article was mixed between qualitative and quantitative information. The results
of this article how to find wiser and healthier society. After all, it was a
fully information article it talked about smoking.
Section 4
The information in this article were very helpful especially
when they talked about each part with its specific parts such as, anti-smoking policies
were about three types and each of them has a job to do. First, estimating the
price elasticity of cigarettes is the common approach to evaluate the effect of
tax policy on cigarette consumption. Second, the impact of anti-smoking
regulations is measured by a regulation index or a set of dummy variables,
which reflect the severity of C.-R. Finally, a time dummy variable is used in the
time series study to measure the effect of the information and health warnings
on smoking during the years of the anti-smoking campaign. I find this kind of
article so beneficial because it had some statistics about number of smokers
and nonsmokers in place such as Taiwan. Also, there were some interviews
questions that the writer did and there are numbers of smoking results too. It is
a very formal and helpful article which left you with answering all questions
with words and numbers and never let you get the chance to think of something or
left with any lost information. However, I would like to know how it will be
the smoking in the future will it disappear or will it grow with us?
Section 1
I used the search words History of smoking
Section 2

Section 3
The article title is active smoking and a history of smoking this talks
about the smoking around the world by steps. The article was mixed it has so
many numbers which can make it quantitative also it included the explanation by
words which is qualitative it wasn’t a too long article but medium and included
a lot of information that helps the reader to read it all. The rustles of the
article is that the cigarettes became very popular in a small period of time. However,
this article needs some margins to add the meaning of some words.
Section 4
The article included a good amount of
information about the smoking and it is history around those past years, even
if that was in a small party but it was helpful to the reader. Smoking hasn’t that
long history because it became worldwide in a very short time and that also
helped the economy of a lot of countries before knowing it is affects to the
bodies and others. In this present
re-investigation (at age 77) 839 men gave informed consent to participate. Those information
are good for many ages to read and it has a few hard words but it still good to
be read. Also this article studies the history of number of smokers and quitters
in specific years. In addition, the age of smokers from between how many. For example
Information on smoking
habits and smoking duration were obtained by interviews at age 50 and 70 or by
questionnaires at age 60 and 77. It is a good article and I respect whoever
worked on it, but what we need to know more about smoking some information
about the first smoker for example who got the first box of cigarettes, these
things that we are curious about.

Section 1 –
Research Questions
Primary
research Questions:
Have you
heard of Global Warming?
Subtopic
Questions:
To what
extent are you impressed with the problem of Global Warming?
Do you
think Global Warming will change the topography of the planet?
Are
you interested in knowing the effects of the Global Warming?
Section 2 – Background Report Summary
This
background report describes global warming and climate change which affect
health and weather. Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual
increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a
change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Firstly
I will look at the causes of global warming and describe it to know how we can
avoid it. Also I will look at effects and describe them.
First of
all, there are many causes of global warming and one of these causes is human
activities by clearing forests that releases large amounts of carbon
dioxide. Worldwide deforestation means we don’t have as many trees to absorb
the extra carbon dioxide. This means more of it stays in the atmosphere,
trapping more heat. Also greenhouse gases: when we extract and burn fossil
fuels such as coal or petroleum, we cause the release of carbon dioxide
and other heat-trapping “greenhouse
gases” into the atmosphere.
However
there are many effects of global warming. Global warming can affect the weather
and create more storms. Global warming also affects temperature and the average
of the temperature increases and that makes cold winters and hot summers.
Section 3 –
Questionnaire Results
It’s so
important to know how the people care about Global Warming, but after we saw
the results of the survey and we compared it with the number of the people who
answered the survey questions it seems like people have a good awareness about
the Global Warming problem.
In the
first section, we asked them scientific questions about global warming
then we did a second indirect section; we asked them their opinions and if
they’re interested to know more information.
The
questions started with “Have you heard about global warming?” 25 people
answered the question directly with yes. “To what extent are you impressed with
the problem of Global Warming?” 10% answered with good and weak, 80% answered
with average. “Do you think Global Warming will change the topography of the
planet?” 10% answered with no and the other 90% answered with yes. “Do you
expect increased flooding as a result of Global Warming?” 88% of them choose
yes, 12% choose no. 96% of the people are interested to know about the effects
of the Global Warming and 4% are not. “Do you think Global Warming will affect
our health?” 80% think that it will affect and 20% answered with no. Also 96% have
plans to avoid Global Warming and 4% don’t have any.
Section 4 –
Discussion
As the
result of the survey questionnaire that was distributed to 25 students
attending Abu Dhabi Men’s College, we noticed that many students have
good awareness about the global warming and how it can affect the world badly,
and some students have good solutions for this problem that can help the world.
However, there is still a big number of students who want to know more about
the results that global warming can cause to earth. We have to make more
lectures for different ages of people to let them know exactly what it is and
what can do to earth if we did not care about this issue. Gladly, those people
would like to know about the problem and its effects on the world.
Finally,
people should know how badly the global warming affect the earth and be wises
when it comes to the solutions; also they need to work to save earth from any
danger so they live peacefully.
