Annotated Bibliogaphy: tobacco use laws

Bethesda, Md. United States. National Cancer Institute. National Institute of Health. State and Local Legislative Action to Reduce Tobacco Use. 2000.
section 1. The role of public policy change in tobacco control: current state of the science -- section 2. State laws and local ordinances to reduce tobacco use -- section 2 appendix. Summary of state tobacco control laws -- section 3. Workplace smoking restrictions, rules about smoking in the home, and attitudes toward smoking restrictions in public places -- section 4. Model ordinances. I feel this congressional publication will be instrumental in my argumentative paper. It clearly defines the Government’s stance on wanting to reduce the number of smoking Americans.
Jones, Jamison. "Legislator Proposes Raising Smoking Age." The Daily Reveille 10 Apr. 2008. 20 Apr. 2008.
This is the shortest article I have ever read I don't feel it will be too helpful and may argue against my point. I don't have a lot to comment on this because this summary is as long as the article was.Robicheaux, Justin. "Plan Aims to Inform Both Sides." The Daily Reveille 29 Sept. 2003. 20 Apr. 2008 .
I think this is a great article, not necessarily for my argument, but it gives a clear understanding of how local LSU students feel about smoking around campus. It talks a lot about the Louisiana department of health issuing radio broadcasts about second hand smoke and its dangers. good stuff.Louisiana. Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. A Strategic Plan for Identifying and Eliminating Tobacco-Related Health Disparities in Louisiana. 28 Jan. 2008. 20 Apr. 2008 .
This PDF is very helpful. it fully outlines some of Louisiana's goals involving tobacco use. here are a few...1.Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.2.Promote quitting tobacco use among adults and youth.3.Prevent initiation of tobacco use among youth.4.Identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities among populations. This is a great government document to help in my research."Drug Facts." Free Vibe. National Drug Control Policy. 20 Apr. 2000.
This website is very helpful on learning about the smoking's hazards but it seems like one of those websites aimed at youthful teens to prevent smoking in early high school. i think its going to aggravate me then help. But I’ll still give it a read.
All Eyes on Ireland's Smoking Ban. BBC. BBC News Online, 2004. 20 Apr. 2008 .
This is great that I found an article of a ban that isn't related to the U.S, if other countries are taking this action, and then the US will sure follow. It is an article about the smoking ban that was put into place in Ireland in may of 2004. It’s mostly about people’s reactions in Ireland and their opinions about it.Shuler, Marsha. "New No-Smoking Bill Targets Bars That Serve Food." The Advocate 27 Mar. 2008: 1-2. Baton Rouge. 20 Apr. 2008. Keyword: smoking.
This is a very current article about closing the loophole in Louisiana’s new clean air act saying you food, even if it only sometimes does, have patrons smoking inside. This bill will close that loophole meaning no more smoking in bars that serve food. Great article. It will be used.Johnson, Kirk. "Colorado Court Rules ‘No Smoking’ Means Exactly That, Even on Stage." The New York Times 21 Mar. 2008, Online ed. New York Times Archive. 20 Apr. 2008. Keyword: smoking laws.
I think this article will add a few good sentences of how strict the government and the people want smoking completely banned. In Colorado, an actor playing a part on stage, and his character happens to smoke cigs, constitutes breaking the law.
