My Social issue that I picked and summarized was, The Cigarette Industry. How the effects of Cigarettes effect loved ones or nearby ones by causing lung failure, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease and mucch more, due to smoking or second hand smoking. What has the government do to lower the cigarette smoking population read more if you want to know more.

My article was the effects on Smoking. The major aftermath of smoking was Asthma. About 84 percent people have asthma in the world and most people believe its from smoking and second hand smoking. Also, alot of people are dieing of smoking, losing loved ones, or close ones. Its a sad thing Due Lung cancer, cardiovascular disease,kidney failure,cancer of the kidenys. I believe that cigarette companies are being unethical because their taking the lives away for money, and in my article they say cigarette companies put a addicting substance so people keep buying cigarettes, and cigarette companies do not do anything about. They are Not taking social responsibilty. Because thousands of people dieing every year due to smoking.What have we done? The government has put taxes on cigarettes to make less people to buy them. You can tell that didnt work. Another thing they did was stopped ads for cigarettes, the used to be on tv, everywhere, now no more ads. I believe that helped alot because kids dont see Joe Camal anymore and say that guy is cool I want to be just like him. After, reading this article i think my opionion has changed about smoking, I live around it all the time, I used to think that it was ok. But, I changed my thought.

I believe Cigarette companies are not taking social responsiblity for these reasons. Like I said I am around alot of cigarette smoking people in my family, but after reading this article i totally have changed my mind on this subject, andd the government is trying a lot of things to prevent people from dying and trying to prevent a bad habiat for youths.
