Answer:

1. Property Rights

Most fundamentally, the debate about smoking bans should center on private property rights. Whether you should be allowed to smoke in a bar should be determined by the owner of that bar, not by busybody bureaucrats who think they know how to live everyone’s lives for them.

2. Second-hand Smoke Isn't as Harmful as Once Thought

In 2013 already there were indications that the commonly accepted narrative on second-hand smoke wasn't entirely accurate. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute (which the below-mentioned Slate article calls "hardly a pro-tobacco publication") published a study which finds no significant relationship between passive smoke and cancer:

"A large prospective cohort study of more than 76,000 women confirmed a strong association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer but found no link between the disease and secondhand smoke."

3. Smoking Bans Don’t Make People Healthier

An immensely informative article by Jacob Grier in Slate finally sorted through the questionable "proof" behind the second-hand smoke myth. The bans had largely been implemented because early studies believed there to be a correlation between secondhand smoke and heart disease. Politicians, however, should have waited for more research to be done. In fact, Grier reveals that a 2006 study in the Piedmont region in Italy (published in the European Heart Journal) revealed an 11 percent drop in heart disease, a much smaller drop than the 60 percent that politicians had promised.

After a sweeping ban on smoking inside in England, a 2010 study found a heart attack reduction of only 2 percent. That number is so small that it might not be related to the bans at all. A 2008 study in New Zealand found no correlation whatsoever. The Journal of Policy Analysis and Management published a study in 2010 that also found no significant impact in any age group. Similar US-studies appeared in 2012 and 2014.  

4. Smoking Bans Don’t Discourage Smoking

Moreover, smoking bans don't actually reduce smoking. Data in France (which implemented its smoking ban in 2008) shows that consumption of tobacco products only correlates with prices.

If you were to write a poetic tribute, how would you personify the spirit of the united state today?
Romashka [77]

<u>Poetic tribute about the spirit of the United States:</u>

My nation is for adoration  

So state its valleys  

Where old waterways stream  

The round trip of life  

Under the pleased eye of winged creatures  

Embellishing the sky.  

O wonderful for roomy skies,  

For golden floods of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Over the fruited plain!  

Love America Love America once more.  

Love the fantasy it used to be.  

Love the pioneer on the plain  

Looking for a home where the Mind smiles

Be that as it may, the most bizarre thing yet was a fly without wings  

Once as a fly it played in the stars  

Singing, with open mouths, with happy soul for the country!

At what point in the plot of “Nethergrave” does Jeremy realize that Nethergrave is not just a computer game?
Leona [35]

Answer:

Jeremy knows it near the end of the story when NetherMagnus tells him that he is already there in Nethergrave.

Explanation:

Nethergrave is Gloria Skurzynski’s short story. It is a tragic story of Jeremy (an 8th grade student) who is addicted to computer games and chatting. A side theme of the story is also about parents spending less time with their children.

Near the end of the story Jeremy asks NetherMagus (a masked character in the game) tat how he could get to Nethergrave to enjoy all the features of the game. On this NetherMagus replies Jeremy “You’re already there!” At this point Jeremy realizes that Nethergrave is not just a computer game, but a kind of grave as well. But it is too late as Jeremy has fully entered Nethergrave now.
