New York’s Smoking Problem

Smoking is a growing problem in certain areas of the country.  Surgeon general’s warnings and health risks have helped several people overcome this temptation.  However, not everyone follows warnings.  And in some places, it seems popular to smoke – despite the health risk.  This is true especially of New York.  To learn more about their smoking problem, go to eCigaretteNavigator.com.  And read more below.

 

High Percentage of Smokers

 

One reason that New York’s smoking problem is alarming is because there are a high percentage of smokers in the area.  According to recent studies, 14 percent of New York’s population is a smoker.  This means that of the seven people you saw on the streets of New York today, 1 of them was a smoker.  Imagine that?  The number is much higher than other areas and it is alarming.  It means many people are at risk – and it might not just be the smoker.

 

Following The Trend

 

Why do so many people smoke in New York?  Obviously the standard answer applies.  Smoking is addictive.  It is a hard habit to break.  Interestingly, though, New York’s smoking percentage is much higher than other areas.  What does this say about the people of the area?  Many people say that smoking is trendy.  They feel the need to join the crowd and live the city life.  Sadly, for some, this means picking up a cigarette too.

 

Second Hand Smoke

 

One of the reasons the smoking percentage in New York is worrisome is because second hand smoke is common in New York.  Everyone walks.  If 1 of 7 people are smoking, it can be hard to escape the evils of second hand smoke.  For many, the only way to avoid the dangers is to wear a mask.  And that is just not possible for the standard non smoker in the area.

 

It is important to remember that smoking is never good – especially in a city that never sleeps.  And smoking outside might need to be restricted to help limit second hand smoke and decrease the number of smokers in general.  If you live in New York, make a difference by choosing not to smoke. If you live in a place that has enforced a no smoking policy, green smoke may be your only option.  As more and more places become smoke-free, Smokeless Cigarettes are the wave of the future.

Sterilization Controversy in New York

Let’s say that you are a woman that is addicted to drugs. Let’s say someone offers you a big fat wad of cold hard cash if you’ll do one simple thing. Not have any more kids. Of course they’re going to make sure of that; otherwise you may not hold up your end of the bargain.

Posters With A Message

You’ve probably seen the Right To Lifer’s posters about how abortion is basically murder; you’ve seen the American Heart And Lung Association’s posters against cigarette smoking; you’ve seen posters against marijuana; posters against drunk driving. You name it; there is a poster for it. Meet the new kid on the block: the poster being spotted in New York’s homeless shelters and medical clinics: ‘Project Prevention’ is working hard to let drug addicted women know that having drug addicted babies should not be an option. To directly quote one poster: “She has her daddy’s eyes… And her mommy’s heroin addiction.” The groups mentioned prior to this have strong messages with strong posters and billboards to go along with them. Clearly, New York’s Project Prevention is following along those same lines.

Isn’t That Baby Going To Interfere With Your Drug Habit?

And that would be the other message on the posters previously mentioned; or something to that effect. Female drug addicts numbering over 4000 have taken up the offer of around $300 to either take some type of birth control or become sterilized. And yes this is an equal opportunity because men are actually offered the same—though less than 75 of that 4000 plus have agreed to participate. And for anyone interested, it has been broken down even further statistically that somewhere around 2/3 of those accepting the payments and agreeing to the terms were Caucasian women. To find out even more click here.

Are we as a society so obtuse that we cannot grasp the concept of these messages without stark, harsh and sometimes violent reminders being shoved in our faces as we enter buildings and as we drive along the highways? It is a sad comment on today’s populous if that is the kind of message we need in order to get the point.
