Last Friday, President Barack Obama passed the regulation of tobacco and products struggling against a cigarette addiction, and signed the bill. The Tobacco control legislation was approved by House overwhelmingly a day earlier with help of the congressional effort. In this year (2009), some states of the United States have legislation pending to increase tobacco taxes. This use is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States.
When the Food and Drug Administration examines the ingredients in tobacco products, they find countless ingredients that are extremely dangerous to your health. People, who smoke tobacco, are exposed to inhale tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, and known poisons into the lungs. The goal of the Health public policy is to discourage the use of tobacco; also, this would be an increase in the state revenue. The nicotine in cigarettes is very addictive drug that causes changes in the brain and makes people want to use it more and more.
This decision will help a lot to the United States population, although, smokers probably don’t think that. The President Barack Obama had experienced these types of addictions which encourages to be in favor of the law. We think that Obama had taken this as a personal challenge because he feels the commitment with the country, since he knows that this addiction is only bad for humans and their surroundings. If he has been able to surpass this addiction, he wants others to do the same.
