I do not think that tocacco should be leagal. Tobacco products contain about 4,000 dangerous chemicals that can damage your health. Soking cigarettes do not only effect the person that is smoking it it also effects the people that are around them because of the smoke that they inhale when breathing. Most of the people addicted to tobacco became addicted when they were childern. more than 3 million young people under age 18 smoke half a billion cigarettes each year and more than half of them say they are addicted. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 50% of high school students had tried smoking before they graduated. About 90% of adults who are smokers started befor the age of 19.

War on Drugs
I am kind of stuck in between if we should legalize drugs or not because there are posative effects for both. Drugs do have alot of harmful effects on people but them being illigal has been a main cause for crime. Also, alot of are jails are being over crowded because of the people that have been locked up for possesion and other crimes that were related to their drug use. But if they were legal people might think that it is safe for them to use it. But whatever happens i feel that there has to be some sort of compromise between the people that want drugs to be legal and those who want them to be illegal. So i am not really sure where i stand on this issue so you can decide for yourself.
Bullying
One method that you could use to try and stop bullying is talk to an adult about it. I think that this would work the best becasue the bully may not listen to what you have to say but they might be more willing to listen to adult. And the more that the victim lets the bully bully them the more out of control that it will get. So i do think that this would be an effective method for stopping bullying.

Vaccines
Vaccines work by giving a person a weakened version of a germ so it will not make the person sick. The body reacts to the vaccine by making antibodies to protect you from it. They expose people safely to germs. 50- 60% of parents with autistic children claim that vaccines have had negative effects on their children. A common side effect is a mild reaction such as a fever and or soreness at the place where it was injected. Severe side effects for vaccines are very uncommon but they may sometimes occur. If you have a severe reaction you may hive a high fever and feel weak. I do not think that vaccines are worth the risk because i feel that if your going to get it you will get it.

Faraming
Farming has changed alot over the last 50 years. The farmers have not been using natural fetelizers, they have been using synthetic substances to maximize the output. Farming has become large scale. Farmers also use machinery to try to maximize the productivity of their farms. If farmers try to maximize the productivity of meat products they pump them full of steroids that we in turn be eating that. A way that we can try to reverse industrial farming is to eat more organic products. But this will reduce the output of farming put intern will help you to lead as healthier life.

soy a superfood
Truth about soy is that it both belps your body and it also has some negative affects on your body. There is soy in many of the foods that you eat. Corbin just pointed it out to me today dureing calss. Soy has a high quantity of estrogen. Because of the estrogen in soy it can decrease the size or someones penis, sexual confusion, or homosexuallity. It can also weaken your thyroid. there is also a connection between soy and causing breast cancer in women. As a conclusion i am not really sure that i want to consume high amounts of soy in my diet.
