Unfortunately, even though people know what smoking does to them, they still do it anyway. I had this one co-worker who stated, “my family, especially the kids, don’t like me smoking, they want me to quit and I can feel it affect me as the years go by, but godd@mn do I love cigarettes.” I don’t judge people, and this co-worker is a dear friend of mine. So even though I won’t say anything about him smoking, a teeny bit of me wants to slap the cigarette out of his hand.

Rachel, your infographic is outstanding! Your choice of topic is truly intriguing and demonstrates the significant impact of smoking bans, depending on the source of information. I was particularly captivated by the contrasting conclusions regarding the effects of smoking bans on businesses and the economy, as highlighted in your work. The disparities between industry-funded and independently-funded conclusions were eye-opening. Overall, it was a truly compelling read!

Hi! I did not know that 16% of all smoking related deaths in the world are estimated to be the cause of second hand smoke. This is crazy to me! Your infographic is so aesthetically pleasing. Also, I love the images and the fonts that you used. Reading it makes it so much more fun and appealing! Congratulations on getting nominated!

Hello Rachel! I enjoyed reading about your infographic and how different conclusions came up from different research papers when they were funded by independent companies in comparison to when they were funded by industries related to smoking. There are a lot of carcinogens found in smoking and industries want to deny it. Thanks for sharing your paper!

I simply cannot understate how visually appealing this infographic is. I would go as far as to say that it is one of the best looking themes and organized infographic I have ever seen. In addition, the infographic is very informative and I learned knowledge about smoking bans I did not know before. My only critique is that it is not longer! I would happily read more about this topic and enjoy the great graphics.

Hi Rachel, this was a very interesting infographic. I was shocked to find out that 16% of all smoking deaths were caused by secondhand smoke. I don’t think many people know that even if you do not smoke, you can still feel the impact from it. I enjoyed the colors you used for this infographic, it was clear to read and very informative!
