There are several campuses following in suit, like ASU, in becoming a tabacco free campus. This being said ASU has made it their goal to become Tabacco free by August 2013. In doing so they hope to at the same time ween college students off their habit by helping them quit smoking.
The stakeholders I have previously discussed may have some hard feeling about canceling out this"freedom." But many will see it as a positive action by the school in promoting healthy living, and longer lives. The only stake holder really going to have an issue with this decree will be college students who do smoke, and many of them may even be happy as it will be good reason to quit smoking and will take the issue of peer pressure out of the ordeal. Many college students have felt peer pressured into smoking because of the people they were around who smoked. In turn getting addicted to a nasty habit which they didn't think was healthy in the first place. Making this almost a universally acceptable action taken by the school.
This is a good thing, and if you don't believe it you are just making a buck with the tabacco industry so please consider young people's health before your dollar. Thanks, -- Alex.
What is your proposal for change though? I understand that ASU going tobacco free has to do with your topic of smoking that you have had over the smelter but this is already a topic that has a solution IN ACTION. Unless your proposing a new change to it, right now your just supporting something that already been proposed and decided. If you want to continue with ASU going tobacco free, then maybe think of something that they should add to their proposal for going tobacco free. There are several things you could propose a change for, like a system for kids to discreetly and anonymously inform their CA’s that there is pot smoking in the dorms- so like better room checks or something. I don’t but I think you need to decide on a solution rather than support one.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with tayla, because i think you need an actually proposal on how your going to fix the problem not how ASU has helped the problem. You need to focus on what your proposal for an argument is going to be. I think you have a good idea on what you kinda are going to go off of but i dont think you have completely figured out how to solve the issue.
ReplyDeleteWow how awesome for you that asu is becoming a smoke free campus next year, well at least for your paper. What exactly is your solution that you made up for this issue? I think some ideas are posting flyers around campus about the benefits of a smoke free campus. You could also try and post a letter or article in blackboard for all asu students about the positives of this new policy. Good job!
