INTRODUCTION

A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

formulation of the title and should be faithful to it. It specifically points the

important questions that the study needs to answer.

b. General Objectives:

c. Specific Objectives:

This study also aims to:

 Know why do students smoke cigarettes

 Know how would they avoid smoking cigarettes

D.DEFINITION OF TERMS

defines technical terms based on how they are used in the study,

specifically in the title. This aims to provide the readers or future

researches with the basic terminologies that are important to understand

the paper.

Any words, phrases, acronyms, etc. that will be used in your paper, specific

to your research, will be defined in this section. Terms should be defined

in the context of how they are used in the study.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Carbon monoxide – a colorless, odorless toxic flammable gas formed by

incomplete combustion of carbon.

Cigarette – a small roll of paper that is filled with cut tobacco and smoke.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A literature review summarizes what is already known (and what is not

known) about your topic. In essay form, the researcher identifies and

analyzes the already published literature that is most relevant to the

research project to be undertaken.

(FOR EXAMPLE)

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Statistic from the centers for Disease control and

prevention (CPC) nearby out of every 100 vs. adults aged 18 years or older 17.8

percent smoke cigarettes today. This means an estimated 42.1 million adults in

the United States are cigarette smokers. On average smoking causes 480,000

deaths per year in the country which is highly 1,300 deaths per day it is expected

that eight million people will die in 2030 if the current smoking rate continues.

Smoking is said to stimulate pleasing and enjoyable emotions and smokers claim

that it helps boost their mood, alleviates minor depression and small fits of anger,

improves concentration and short term memory, and can also provide a modest

sense of well-being. This is because cigarettes contain the addictive substance

nicotine that stimulates dopamine in the brain, which is responsible for the

pleasurable sensations
Moreover, Dr. Patricia Macnair, hospital physician also said that most people

know that smoking can cause lung cancer, but it can also cause many other cancer

and illnesses. Smoking directly causes over 100,000 deaths in the UK each year

and contributes too many more of these deaths. About 42,000 are from smoking

related cancer, 30,600 from cardiovascular disease and 29,100 die slowly

emphysema, bronchitis and other chronic lung diseases.

Lastly, Dr.Alison Barnise, added that smoking conventional cigarettes is bad for

you .And so do the 10 million people in the UK that currently smoke. But the effects

of the option available to you as an alternative to tobacco are less clear. Especially

considering that traditional nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and other

prescription drugs to help people stop smoking bupropion and varenicline are

being eclipse by the e-cigarettes.

METHODOLOGY

the subject of the study, and the instruments used.

(FOR EXAMPLE)

a. Respondents of the study

The researchers chose grade 9 students in Addition Hills Integrated

School to answer the questionnaire. There are 22 female and 16 male,
