2. This article is about how second hand cigarette smoke effects non-smokers.

3. The main idea is about how new laws are being developed to favor good healthy smoke free environments for everyone. New anti-smoking polices are being enforced.

4. In Belmont Calif a new city law was passed that apartment complexes keep a portion of their units smoke free. Another detail is smoke free policies in private dwellings are also taking hold this could potentially mean and intrusion of privacy banning smoking in your own home, this I don't agree with at all ridiculous. Finally giving more teeth to the push is a finding in the U.S. Surgeon General report says there are no safe levels of secondhand smoke.

5. I believe smokers are victims of discrimination smoking habits are hard to give up.  If you are a smoker I believe you need to show more respect for those around you who don't smoke, and find a place to smoke where your not harming others. Most of the time some smokers just don't care because they give in to there habit to much and to fast. the only way to quit is to learn how to take control of your cravings.

6. I believe the government needs to mind there business sometimes. But in this case its understandable for them to want control over these smoking issues because it can kill people even those who don't smoke.

Blog.4 Texting While Driving Video.

Response


Wow this video really set me straight I'm not ever texting and driving again. This video goes to show you that all it takes is that one text, that one split second for an accident to happen. I've been in a bad car accident myself a couple of years ago so I can relate to this as well. The accident I was in wasn't because of texting but this video brought back some scary memories. From now on cell phone stays off when I'm driving a text message isn't worth your life and people need to learn patience again. After seeing this video it did change my mind about texting and driving, I"ll  never do it again. In my opinion this video is relevant to any age group of drivers. I think this video is very powerful and the truth is scary to accept sometimes. This video is an effective tool for reaching all texters of our universe to STOP being obsessive smartphone users.
