Public Tobacco Smoking Laws Aid to Quit Smoking

September 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The cigarette smoking habit has seen an evolution in its perception and acceptance. Early in its history tobacco smoking was viewed as actually being good for you. How untrue that tale turned out to be. Instead we now know what tobacco does. It causes problems like cancer, problems in the lungs and heart disease. Those are just the major risks involved. Others like the smell and the expense of the addiction all contribute to the bad side effects.

National awareness of these problems have legislated action and laws against tobacco smoking and the need to quit smoking. Some of these actions include the following.

Anti-Smoking Public Service Announcements: Truth is one very successful ad agency that has depicted the bad effects of smoking. They portray the tobacco industry as an evil empire. Their commercials are also cryptic in showing the effects of tobacco and smoking. The ads they show have even reached audiences of the NFL Super bowl.

Public Laws have also curtailed smoking on a social level. In many states around the USA smoking bans in social places like restaurants, bars and recreation facilities are banned. The states with such bans include:

ALASKA, ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, IDAHO, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, MISSISSIPPI, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NEW MEXICO, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA, PUERTO RICO, RHODE ISLAND,SOUTH CAROLINA, SOUTH DAKOTA, TEXAS, UTAH, VERMONT, WASHINGTON DC, WASHINGTON STATE, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, WYOMING

High taxes on cigarettes and cigars also cut deeper into the budgets of smokers. It is estimated that a smoker who starts early in his age will end up spending nearly two million dollars on cigarettes in his lifetime.

Agencies like insurance and health organizations also penalize smokers. This is accomplished with expensive fees and less services available due to the dangers of tobacco.

Nicotine patches and other products that help smokers stop smoking have also emerged on the market.

The result of all these restrictions, laws and legislations against tobacco smoking has made it a habit that is becoming inconvenient and expensive. Quitting smoking does come with expense and effort but the benefits are very bright. They include saving money every year and a longer lifespan. Better health and a longer lifespan. Your family will also benefit from better health and not having to deal with secondhand smoking.

    Often laws that are enacted to protect the public against the dangers of smoking will cause a smoker to evaluate how important smoking is in their life. This is the first step to the realization that smoking is in conflict with values that they hold important. Smokers don’t often think about how their smoking is affecting others but it doesn’t. A smoker’s right to smoke ends where a non-smoker’s nose begins. For free quitting tips visit: http://www.StopSmokingStayQuit.blogspot.com
