Smoking not only affects the smoker, it also affects the families of the smokers. We can gain awareness about the dangers of smoking from media. You can see commercials, ads, graphs, and pictures that show the dangers and statistics of smoking. Through research memo three, I have found out a lot about smoking and how much media there is out there about it.
The first video I found was on YouTube. It was a college student who was interviewing fellow classmates on their views on smoking around campus. They also were asked if they felt like it was affecting their health and the way they breathe. A lot of them felt that it was annoying to have to walk through smoke clouds to get from class to class. This video was straight forward and I thought it was very truthful and informative. I am glad that I found this video because it is a primary source and its understandable since they are just a little older then us high school students.
The second video I found was also on YouTube. This one had a little girl in it that was crying to her dad telling him to stop smoking in the house. It related back to my research topic of does smoking affect you family as well as you? Within this video, I have found that it does because this little girl is crying for her dad to stop. She states that he is making it hard to breathe and her little sister is coughing from all the smoke he is exhaling. I thought that it is very informative and stated a point very clearly that it does affect your family as well.
