About This Topic

Tobacco is one of the most studied public health subjects in academic writing, appearing across courses in health sciences, nursing, public policy, communications, and business. Its academic interest stems from the intersection of individual behavior, corporate strategy, and government regulation. Papers in this area examine how tobacco products affect physical health, how industries like Philip Morris International have operated globally, and how landmark policy moments — such as the Surgeon General's warnings and settlement negotiations during the Clinton presidency — reshaped the legal and social landscape around cigarette use.

The papers archived under this topic take a wide range of approaches. Some focus on cessation, particularly smoking cessation among adolescents and the factors that lead young people to start smoking in the first place. Others take a comparative angle, placing tobacco alongside alcohol and other drugs to evaluate relative risks and regulatory responses. Historical and rhetorical approaches appear in analyses of vice advertising and its evolution, while clinical and policy frameworks surface in papers tied to Healthy People 2020 goals and nursing practice contexts. Business strategy analysis also appears, with students examining corporate planning within the tobacco industry.

A strong essay on tobacco should establish a focused, arguable thesis early — whether addressing prevention, regulation, marketing, or cessation — rather than surveying the entire subject. Evidence drawn from public health data, policy documents, and peer-reviewed clinical research carries the most weight in this field. The most common pitfall is treating tobacco purely as a moral issue without grounding claims in specific health outcomes, regulatory mechanisms, or documented behavioral patterns, which weakens analytical rigor.

Slavery and the Slave Economy in Colonial America
Modern observers likely know in general terms that many Africans were enslaved through the 17th to 19th Centuries, but few probably know the extent of suffering that newly enslaved Africans endured from the outset, nor do many modern observers likely know the legal sources that were used to justify and legitimize the practice in the Old and New Worlds. In fact, some authorities argue that it was not until the end of the 17th Century that racial divisions had become sufficiently codified to protect the "peculiar institution" of slavery in the New World. Given the impact that slavery has had on American society, gaining a better understanding of the origins of the slave economy and its implications for civil rights in the United States represents a timely and valuable enterprise. To this end, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature to describe the background in which slavery emerged and a description of the slave economy. Throughout most of the 17th Century, the tobacco economies of Virginia and Maryland depended of the contract labor of white indentured servants, who were employed for a term of four to five years, then freed.
