Some of the major public health concerns are, for example, <em>alcohol-related harm, food safety, sexual protection and diseases related to HIV infection, nutrition and obesity, and overdose of prescription medications, among others.</em>
Explanation:
Public health is the <u>discipline dedicated to the study of health and disease in populations.</u> The <em>goal is to protect the health of the population</em>, promote healthy lifestyles and improve the health and well-being of the population through programs to promote and protect health and prevent diseases.
I would consider smoking as a public health issue because it is something that effects the air everyone breathes, even though you may be the only one actually smoking it.
