The Danger of Smoking

                   Can you imagine a cigarette company telling its employees they can not smoke their

own products in their businesses. In the article by Stav Ziv “Cigarette Company To Phase Out

Smoking in its offices.” David Howard explains,  Reynolds American Inc a big name tobacco

and its subsidiaries,  will restrict the use tobacco smoking in conference room,elevator and

hallways coming January 1st. Between 2015 to 2016 all their building will have a smoking area

to accommodate both smokers and non-smoker  in these states North Carolina, New Mexico

and Tennessee.He states we certainly respect the right and personal choice of  of employees

who choose to smoke or use tobacco products.But we also respect the of those don’t.Only 20

percent do and that it is the same with visitors and employees.According to the Center for

Disease Control and Prevention 100 percent from smoke free law protects almost half the U.S.

             

                It must seems like a double standard for a maker of cigarette to make such a decision

but  according to Howard  most  people do not smoke. Majority rules.There are people that

works for the tobacco company that do not smoke too.It is amazing that this company is looking

beyond profit and controversy to do something good for the people.The dangers of smoking and

health problem can cause from tobacco smoking is real. Phasing out smoking is the only way to

protect people from the dangers of second smoke, cancer, Triggers(asthma attack),  it ruins

teeth, and it bad for the environment.

                        Living in New York it can be a challenge where you are constantly running into

people that smokes everywhere. Cigarette is sold almost anywhere . From the supermarket, the

corner store, even the gas station, all different brands, size and flavor mint or regular.What

would you do walking down the street with your child and out of no where, someone blows

smoke in you and your  face .Would not  be nice. For that reason we must protect our children

because they can not help themselves.

                 

                    Am from Jamaica people smoke anywhere but when it came close to home.we

realized how serious this real is when it came close to home. I had an uncle by the name of

Herman.He enjoys smoking so much. My uncle use to smoke cigarette so hard, he would

use one to to light another. Watching him die from Lungs cancer was heart breaking.Would

not wish that on my worse enemy.Seeing commercial on Television from time to time

about smoking and Lung cancer.Wish nobody had  go through it but it is not possible.

             Remember most times what we live by is what we die by.Smoking not only harms us

but people around us.Reynolds American Inc know that even though this can not completely

solve the problem it will reduce the risks and we both agree. for example, you smoke and your

friend do not find a place to do it so it won’t bother anyone.Respect each other feelings.Stop

polluting the air.Lets try to minimize contaminating our environment for our children and our

children children's.

            

                    

                          

            

                                        Title: Is multitasking good for anyone?.                

                                                                                                                                

              I read an article. “Are women really better of multi-tasking?” the author states that women can do more than one things at a time, according to a team of British researchers. Base on a 8 minutes study done between 50 men and 50 women to do the same exact thing. It was proven that 70 percent of women carry out the test better than men do. Women was more focus when, it comes to finding things men seems to be confused. Most of the time women would generally think about what their going to do before they actual do. That makes it easier for them to handle the challenges of the day etc. I was surprise to know that there facts that multitasking slow down productivity whether your a man or woman because of the brain.       

            Based on what i read in the article women might better at  multitasking but  is not good  for anyone. In our society today people multitask for various reason jobs, to travel, to get things done by a certain time, Have an appointment but  have drop the kid’s off at the daycare. People try to train themselves by doing the things that are important so they  don't forget .Especially if you  have kids, job or jobs, married but we have to plan and do it in a healthy way. It's not good for  the brain, we can actually hurts the Brain. We can all  agree it’s hard to concentrate when we try to do a lot of  thing’s. Study shows that we often forget things we are suppose to do, we lose time stated  in a article by “Jessica kleiman.” that affects us because sometimes we work double.                                   
            Reading this article have me thinking a lot about the brain. How much it affects us mentally by doing too much. I found out that the Brain is the central nervous system, it’s the most important member of our body it  tells the body what to do and how to do it. I tells  us we are hungry ,when we need sleep, in pain, helps us to put things in perspective. Interprets things. It control our movements and our thoughts, everything. We can’t  function without it. So we have to take care of it. We should try have a healthier life style.by eat nutritious foods, that strengthens our immune system.by getting sleep so that body can heal and repair itself, also we need to drink a lot of water.                                             

           Growing up watching my mom. In the morning she  gets  up to do break fast, clean the house, while making sure we all get ready in time for school, also getting herself ready to go to work at the hospital, she would work a double shift and still find time work  in her own small business. I always wonder how she does it but now I Understand it’s Multitasking. Now that I'm mom. Being a mother is a hard enough job by itself but do but to combine it with work doing house, school work and a being a wife. Can be a recipe for disaster. Appling what happen to her to my life. Mom was too busy trying to balance everything. She did not pay enough attention to health. She put a lot of pressure on her brain. She had a stroke at the age of 48 years of age.                             

          In conclusion from reading the article.It’s never a good thing to do too much things at once but i still do.I multitask  but in a way that have a positive effect on my life, not just on my brain Considering what i would gain or lose by the way i  do day to day things am doing more  physical activities.Playing with my kid’s,dancing away to stay fit,if i study i listen to music when i study to relax my mind and now i write things down instead of trying to pressure my Brain to remember.I make schedule for the week or month.that help me to keep track of work,bills,school,appointments,holidays anniversaries, birthdays,death, date.Just trying to make it easier to keep track of what when, where, also the time to do it.
