Communicable Diseases are illnesses which are caused by pathogens or microorganisms, e.g virus and bacteria, that are transmitted from one person or animal to another in different ways. It can spread through contact of body fluids or blood, sexual contact, contaminated food and water, or through air.
With the advancement of medical science, different ways of controlling communicable diseases have emerged throughout the centuries and have been proven to lessen the mortality rate as time passed.
One is the development of Immunization. Immunization; to make one's body immune to a certain disease so it will be easier for the body to combat with the pathogens in contact with it. Until now, production of Immunization is still being updated depending upon the diseases that are currently affecting the majority. The development of immunization has given medical science, then and now, a very big impact in controlling diseases. How does it work? Immunization boosts the body's natural immunity whenever microorganisms enter the body. The body identifies these microorganisms as foreign elements, thus releasing certain kinds of cells to help fight off the infection.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

I choose the following five forms of communication

1.- Verbal. It is the natural way to communicate, using our voice. My voice has to be clear and the message specific to be successful in what I try to convey.

2.- Written. I need to improve my written skill, learning grammatical rules, and improving my spelling. Minimize typos. I have to write developing my own style.

3.- Non-verbal. Signs and gestures are a great support for verbal communication. Everybody needs non-verbal communication to reinforce verbal communication.

4.- Formal. Formal communication is needed in my life when I am living official moments or scenarios in school or in the workplace. When I address teachers or seniors I have to use formal language.

5..- Informal. Informal communication is used when I am hanging with my friends, having a typical day-to-day conversation.

I'm working on a project about smoking any thing anyone knows will help

In cigarettes, there is this substance called "nicotine." This substance is the reason for addiction. It causes your brain to feel relaxed whilst smoking, then for a while after you remove the cigarette, you feel happy and relaxed. But, this doesn't continue. After a while, it stops and is replaced with feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and anger as well as many other uncomfortable emotions. 
  These emotion cause the smoker to want to relax, therefore, they grab another cigarette.
 Cigarettes are very harmful to one's body. They can cause skin cancer, lung cancer, and teeth problems. See anyone with bad yellow teeth and bad-smelling breath? It is most likely that they smoke. Though, not everyone who smokes gets sick. There is this thing called "second-hand smoking" that occurs when a person is around a smoker. It happens because the non-smoker breathes in the fumes and smoke of the cigarette the smoker is smoking. It is juts as bad as normal smoking.
  Now, you might think eCigarretes are good for you...but they are not! They cause almost- if not exactly- as much harm to your body that a normal cigarette would.
 Never try smoking. It will lead to an addiction that is neither attractive, or healthy!
