There's not a sickness that Tobacco can cure!

Is it possible to restrict smoking tobacco to the whole nation? It is a very hard problem to solve isn’t it? As we all know, smoking tobacco is harmful to your health and so far I haven’t heard a person say that tobacco might help you be cured of something. It makes it harder to make society quit smoking tobacco because now Texas wants or they’re thinking to legalize marihuana.

For the first time black and white smoking tobacco advertisements started on 1789-1870, then right after the color ones came on 1870-1900. Later, modern advertising was created with the innovative techniques used in tobacco advertising beginning in the 1920s. The campaigns begun on 1950-1960, cigarette brands frequently sponsored television shows.

If it were in my hands, I will definitely restrict tobacco use because it is not making anything change or not helping anybody in a good way but just damaging their health. Like I said at the beginning, this might take a long time but if our government or our state laws would make this case really strict so that people quit smoking then there would be a change even if we like it or not.

There’s so many different ways so that society with time can learn and adapt to a “new” law, for example, if somebody sees you smoking in your house where there’s kids living with you or you’re surrounded by them, they can call the police and they can arrest you for not obeying the law. You could even go to jail if you don't obey and they can take away your kids.  Another one is completely ban cigarettes vending machines in the whole world. Restricting tobacco use almost everywhere and maintain those places secure. Keep a record of all the people that smoke or start to smoke, they have to stop smoking for certain amount of time, if they do not even touch the cigarette at the end they would get a reward or something that would benefit them, just like the ALL STATE car insurance, if you don’t get into an accident for six months they will reward you. Last idea I have is that people would be required to take a class/lesson kind of thing about quitting tobacco smoking for instance before they would go get a drivers license or just anything related to the government. At the end they would get an exam and see if they took the lesson seriously, if they fail then they don’t get the drivers license even if they pass they driving test.

We will have to work really hard on this one. 

Sex Education Materials

 On Tuesday, April 2, 2013 one of my classmates posted an article called “Unplanned Parenthood” and it talks about a bill that “prohibits school districts from using sex education materials that are provided by any organization that are affiliated with abortion providers.” Parents have the right to review this material and also to withdraw their children “from participating in sex education if they so choose to.” These courses will, in my opinion help students to really appreciate what “building a family” is and not just going around and have kids like if it was a game. Parents can also take classes to learn how to talk with their children about this “awkward conversation.”

“Hopefully in the next twenty years we will see a continual decline in pregnancies among teens with the help of programs like sex education and Planned Parenthood. It is clear that these programs do not encourage sex, but give teens education and options on how to prevent unwanted pregnancies.” I agree with my classmate, I hope teens open their eyes and see the reality, because not all of them are going to take this as something “serious” some of them just don’t care, and that’s the problem. Parents should totally agree with schools so that students can be thought these courses because if they refuse to talk to them about sex then who else will do it?

We shouldn't support it!

We shouldn’t support legalizing guns, don’t we understand that by legalizing guns is just going to create more crimes and violence? I understand some people want this new plan to happen just so that we can defend ourselves from crimes but what’s the point if we will be part of that violent scenario as well. Crimes will always exist there’s not a date or time that we can avoid them, having a gun with us will maybe makes us experience something that many of us maybe will regret doing.

I think legalizing guns will only cause more and more problems; our kids will learn bad habits growing up and I say bad habits because that’s how I see legalizing a gun, as a bad “habit.” I personally don’t feel capable and/or prepare to be carrying a gun with me all the time; many people are used to having a gun but it might be for a different reason perhaps hunting. I know many of people will agree and support gun legalizing because they might think that, not just because having a gun means that they will kill somebody for self defense but you never know what will happen, plus if many of those people think that way, what’s the point of having to carry a gun with you if you will maybe freeze and do nothing to defend yourself.

I think we’re making such a big deal with all of this gun legalizing, Texas doesn’t have that much crimes yet, I know we shouldn’t wait for them to occur so that we can do something about it but, look at Mexico, its horrible over there and not even like that with that much violence people want to have a gun.

One more thing, I think that most of the time violence/problems/confrontations will only occur if you’re doing something wrong. If you’re acting bad then bad things will happen to you.
