Nicotine, a drug, seems to be the main reason for dependence, so some think the FDA should regulate nicotine
content. However, tobacco products were specifically excluded from the laws regulating drugs, a fact reinforced
by the 2000 Supreme Court decision. Also, most drugs make a therapeutic claim, and it is not clear what
beneficial treatment effect would be claimed by cigarettes. Probably any comparison of benefits vs. risks would
say cigarettes should not be sold at all, but that is unrealistic. The answer should also discuss the benefits and
criticisms associated with the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
38. (p. 236) Even though chewing tobacco might not be as unhealthy as smoking it, smokeless tobacco still has
risks. Compare and contrast the health risks of chewing and smoking tobacco.
Increased risk of cancer of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus; tissue changes in the mouth resulting in
pre-cancer lesions; irritations of gums exposes teeth and gums to disease; loss of tooth enamel.
39. (p. 239) Discuss the issue of secondhand smoke and restrictions on smoking in public places. Include your
own opinion about the fairness of such regulations, but be sure to include information about the effects of
secondhand smoke on nonsmokers, both in homes and the workplace.
The EPA has declared secondhand smoke to be a known carcinogen responsible for several thousand lung
cancer deaths yearly in nonsmokers. Workplace exposure for long periods of time each day is a risk. Children in
homes of smokers have a higher risk for asthma and SIDS.
