An Advocacy Campaign for Decreasing Teen Tobacco Use

Do NOT include an abstract. Indent paragraphs ½ inch. Be sure to include the purpose statement in the introduction. The purpose statement must be clear, such as, “The purpose of this paper is to present teen tobacco use as a population health problem and discuss why the legal age to purchase tobacco products should be 21 years old. The paper will also present a grid with a tobacco bill. The reader should know what to expect in the paper from reading the purpose statement.

This should be an introduction to the problem. Facts are needed.

Tobacco use is primarily started during adolescence age. Over 3,200 children and 2,100 teens become new smokers, and 30% of that adolescent will become addicted to tobacco (Knickman & Kovner, 2015).  About 18% of high school students smoke a cigarette, and over 8 million adolescent young males reported the use of smokeless tobacco (American Cancer Society, 2012). Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States (CDC, 2016). Smoking of tobacco causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, and reproductive effects like low birth weight. The economic impact of tobacco use and smoking-related illness in the United States costs more than $300 billion each year (CDC, 2016).
