Excise or “sin” taxes are one strategy or type of intervention used by Public Health professionals to reduce tobacco initiation and/or use. In the video, you learned about some of the general “pros” and “cons” of using excise or “sin” taxes to address major health issues. Now, I want you to think critically about excise or “sin” taxes as a means of reducing vaping/e-cigarette use among adolescents and young people. In particular:List one specific way in which excise or “sin” taxes could help to reduce vaping/e-cigarette use among adolescents and young people.Describe one potential concern of using excise or “sin” taxes to reduce vaping/e-cigarette use among adolescents and young people.Describe one additional strategy beyond excise or “sin” taxes that Public Health professionals could use to reduce vaping/e-cigarette initiation and/or use among adolescents/young people (i.e., an intervention or program, policies, etc.).

Module 1. Introducing concepts of public health and safe drinking water) This activity marks the end of the first module in this topic. Before you move on, take time to ensure that you feel able to meet the first learning outcome ‘Describe public health issues relating to the supply of safe drinking water’. One acid test of whether you can meet this outcome is to · Think of someone you know well – could be a relative or close friend – who does not share your work-related interests · Tell them the key things that you have learned in this module 1 (summarise it down to 2 or 3 key points) · Ensure that they can understand what you have told them – do this by asking them questions

The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (2016) notes that “… healthcare organizations need nurses capable of gathering and analyzing population-level data, promoting wellness and disease prevention in the community, adopting and disseminating best practices for population health, and identifying patients who may benefit from greater outreach efforts to promote health screening and related primary care services.” (p.5) Reflect on the statement above, key course concepts (SEE ATTACHED FOR THESE), and how the study of population health has (or has not) changed the way in which you view the role of nursing in advocating for and assuring the health of populations. 1.) What impacts might a population-focused approach have on your practice or community? (Write from a home hospice/home health RN’s perspective, as I already work within the community and advocate for the health of many populations. This course enriched the knowledge that I had and helped integrate many concepts and skills.) 2.) Where might advocacy as a nurse leader make the most difference to vulnerable populations?  PLEASE SEE RUBRIC ATTACHED FOR SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS NEEDED. Some, but not all scholarly articles are attached also. All must be 5 years or younger and scholarly! Must use APA 6th Edition formatting.

I feel I might be getting cancer in future because we have a cancer history family so, I used the health belief model to find the some kind of activity rather than smoking hookah.  My plan is by the end of the first week, I will decrease the number of hookah I am smoking from 5 per week to maximum of 2 or 3 per week. By the end of the second week, I will smoke 1 Hookah per week. For the first week I try to go running with my partner who help me to reduced smoking hookah, 20 minutes every day and going gym 3 times a week. For the second week I try to increase the time of running to 45 minutes and going gym with my partner who encourage me for running. Also, every time that I follow my plan and reduced smocking hookah by running I give my self protein shake as reward.
