Reasons Why People Smoking and Ways To Quit By:

Abbie Reeves

I am interested in this topic because I wanted to learn more. Most of the members in my family

smoke.

Interest

Paper

Why do people still smoke even though it causes cancer and diseases?

Driving Question

People should not smoke because smoking forms bad habits, they can be harmed

physically and mentally by smoking, and they will have a difficult time quitting smoking.

Thesis

Important Facts

Non-smokers have a 20-30 percent risk of lung cancer from second hand smoking.

Smoking counts for 90% of lung cancer in the US.

Second-hand smoking causes 202,000 asthma attacks.

Summary

People mostly start smoking because of few reasons. Most of the chemicals in cigarettes cause smoking, and many of the cancers can spread and become fatal.

Product

Brochure After it was done, I gave them to: New Bern

Surgical Associates.Website

agpquittingsmoking.sqsp.com

What I Did...

Impact

My product impacts others because it's for everyone. I didn't just outline the reasons to

quit, I outlined the reasons why people do. My website was to show people why others smoke. It was also to get people from

smoking.

Mentor

I had a mentor.It was really fun working with her. She helped with grammar during the process and keeping me on tract.

What I Learned...

I learned how managing the time you get is important. I learned not everyone likes to be interviewed. I learned making a website isn't easy.

My product relates to my paper because I directly took my paper's information and put it

into a website and brochure format.

Connection Between Paper and Product

Successes

I got my project done.

Putting the interview together was easy.

I feel the brochure really ended up nice.

I had to switch everything from webbly to squarespace.

I didn't enjoy writing the paper on my topic.

Time.

Challenges

This really has no impact on my future because I will not be perusing this topic as a career. I will be going into the medical field though.

I will take away the fact the knowledge and try to help some of the people in my family, who still smoke and have smoked for a long time.
