    The pulmonologist plans to inform tobacco farmers that exposure to tobacco leaves increases their risk of lung cancer and respiratory illness, as they are nonsmokers. However, 40% of the audience relies on tobacco for income. The pulmonologist should keep the health information and emphasize studies on harm from tobacco leaf exposure. He should recommend solutions like wearing protective clothing and washing thoroughly to limit nicotine absorption through the skin.

    A pulmonologist is about to give a presentation to a community about the impacts of tobacco


    agriculture and production to the farmers and producers. He plans to inform them that tobacco farmers
    and makers, although they are nonsmokers, have an increased risk of lung cancer and other respiratory
    illnesses due to their exposure to tobacco leaves.

    As he gathers information about his audience, he discovers that 40 percent of his future listeners rely on
    tobacco farming and manufacturing for their main source of income. What should he do? Justify your
    answer

    A. Drop the information about the impact of tobacco to their health to avoid offending the
    listeners.
     Smoking has been linked to cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and a variety of other
    illnesses. As a result of this information, I recommend that he develop a presentation so that
    the audience understands the various diseases that might result from smoking.

    B. Mention the issue but downplay it and recommend that listeners do research and decide for
    themselves.
     Global ecosystem disruptions
     Deforestation
     Food insecurity

    C. Keep the information and emphasize studies about the harm caused by exposure to tobacco
    leaves and recommend a solution for the problem.
     Nicotine poisoning, also known as Green Tobacco Sickness, can result from handling tobacco
    leaves. Symptoms include nausea and vomiting. When the nicotine in tobacco leaves comes
    into contact with rain, dew, or sweat, the risk of nicotine poisoning rises, making it easier for
    nicotine to penetrate onto the skin and into the bloodstream. To avoid nicotine exposure
    from tobacco leaves, gloves, long sleeve shirts, long pants, and water-resistant clothing are
    recommended. To limit nicotine exposure, it is recommended that you wash with soap and
    water soon after working. When you wash your hands, you may get rid of 96% of the
    nicotine on your skin.
