Nicotine Addiction

• Trying to quit smoking is one the hardest part of Nicotine
• Nicotine withdrawal
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_withdrawal

The symptoms of nicotine withdrawal can begin within 30 minutes of your last use of tobacco and will depend on your level of addiction. Factors such as how long you used tobacco and how much tobacco you use on a daily basis will impact the severity of your symptoms.

Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal for smokers include:

• intense cravings for nicotine
• tingling in the hands and feet
• sweating
• nausea and abdominal cramping
• constipation and gas
• headaches
• coughing
• sore throat
• insomnia
• difficulty concentrating
• anxiety
• irritability
• depression
• weight gain

Symptoms of withdrawal for people who use chewing tobacco are quite similar. They include:

• depressed mood
• trouble sleeping
• difficulty concentrating
• feeling restless and jumpy
• irritability
• increased hunger or weight gain
• slower heart rate

If you decide to quit smoking, contact your doctor to discuss ways to manage your withdrawal symptoms. They may be able to provide you with access to prescription medication or information about support groups in your community.

Several different treatment options are available for nicotine withdrawal. They include:

• Over-the-counter (OTC) nicotine replacement medications. Examples include nicotine gum and skin patches.
• Prescription nicotine replacement methods. Examples include inhalers and nasal sprays.

These can help reduce symptoms by slowly decreasing the amount of nicotine in your body.

Shop for nicotine gum.

Shop for a nicotine patch.

Treatment may also include the use of non-nicotine prescription medications, such as bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Chantix).

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products are helpful, but they aren’t a cure-all. Most people still experience some withdrawal symptoms. If you have an emotional connection to smoking, NRT can’t take that away.

Pros and cons of NRT

Some common side effects of popular NRT products include:

• dizziness
• trouble sleeping
• nausea
• headaches

Waking up and taking charge is a different kind of writing. This writing is about a person talking about college debt and how you can take a stand and make a change. There is a lot different a lot ways you can take a stand to make a change. But there is one stand she talks about that is not what a lot people would do but could work and make a change. Her example is that she made a PAC and that PAC would be a bunch of people who join it and stand up to colleges and demand for change in tuition so they don’t fall in college debt or in a lot debt. I think she would need a little more then just joining a PAC to make a change cause that doesn’t really sound like a for sure way to make change. If she gave like step by step how joining the PAC and what it would do and show like statistics of joining PAC to making change to different situations then it would convince the people a lot more could actually work.

There are many different types of ways people can take a charge and sitting there and doing nothing while you’re drowning in student debt is not one of them. In her writing she talks a lot about how you can join a PAC and it could make a difference but she also talks about experience like when the Virginia 21 students led a PAC addressing the economic issues like tuition , book costs, and education budgets cuts. Another experience is in 2002 when students at the public College of William and Mary formed a PAC to help pass a 900 million state bond issue for higher education. She also talks about other ways like ten thousand California’s community colleges marched to Sacramento in 2003 to protest a 120 percent rise in fees and budget cuts in students priced out of the community college systems. There are many ways to spread awareness and make a change and she’s just telling people stop sitting around because it is affecting people all around you and can help a lot friends and people out by standing up and taking charge.

She used a lot of rhetorical appeals in this writing she wrote she used character, reason, values , and her emotion. She talked about how she would take a charge and make a change by making a PAC for people to join and rise to the occasion. She also talks about a bunch of reason why they need to make a change in college tuition for people not go into college debt. These methods are good to use to try and make a change and the methods could work but its highly doubtful. It would take way more then a little PAC to make a change on college tuition because the college don’t care that you’re in debt all they care about is getting their money and keeping the school running so they can keep making money. Although that PAC in California worked she would need about ten thousand people to protest and that is hard to find people who can do this and go protest for better college tuition. In a way she just trying to state a point that college tuition is a lot of money and should be reduced, but she also tries to persuade people the only way they will reduce that tuition if the people paying for it take a stand and demand for payment which won’t put them in a lot of debt or any debt at all.

1. The claim is that trying to make a change college tuition
2. The claim is not absolute because she states if we students join pac takes stance on college tuition or debt
3. If they join pac to take a stand for college tuition
4. The reason she discusses an opportunity to make a change in college debt
5. She talks about joining a pac and taking a stand about college tuition . She uses the example of students building a 120-foot Wall of Debt out of foam blocks, bearing the signatures of 20,000 students along with the debt burdens of each.
6. Its a good piece of evidence because it gives a factorial visually of the claim and it is also relevant
7. That college is very important to her but to get good jobs you have to have a degree
8. No because there are many other options that don’t put you in debt and start out making good money

My response on waking up and taking charge is I think it could make a impact if she actually had a big enough pac she could take a stand and try to make a difference. But there is other situations where she could try to handle student debt. But I really don’t think this could happen by just people saying they want lower tuition because the universities would probably lose a lot of money and they wouldn’t be to happy or have money for other building on school or improving their university.

8. I think her rhetorical appeals is character because she stats her values

9. I think the aim of argument in this essays is persuade shes trying to get more readers to join her pac

10. She was a reasonable she hit all the criteria but self critical because she was pretty one sided

1. Archer uses reason in college debt by saying what are the affects of reason and how it affects people
2. His aims of argument is to persuade to try and find away to decline college debt try to find a cause for it
3. No because he didn’t all criteria of reasonable reasons if going college is a good thing so doesn’t self criticism
4. Yes I trust him because he gives valid reason on how college could be a bad thing

1. College and college debt
2. that college is expensive and go to trade school
3. Yes because shes written books about debt and articles on this stuff
4. It can be controversial
5. college students because we are the ones who have to deal with it and pay for it
6. The colleges because they’re making money off of it
7. she wants us to join a pac to make a political change , paragraph leverage their numbers

Defining -Rhetoric is the art of argument as responsible reasoning. The study of rhetoric develops self-conscious awareness of the principles and practices of responsible reasoning and effective arguing.

Argument as responsible reasoning means

• Defending not the first position you might take on an issue but the best position, determined through open-minded inquiry
• Providing reasons for holding that position that can earn the respect of an audience

Four Criteria –

RESPONSIBLE REASONERS ARE WELL-INFORMED- Their opinions develop out of knowledge and are supported by reliable and current evidence.

RESPONSIBLE REASONERS ARE SELF-CRITICAL AND OPEN TO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FROM OTHERS- They balance their passionate attachment to their opinions with willingness to evaluate and test them against differing opinions, acknowledge when good points are made against their opinions, and even, when presented with good reasons for doing so, change their minds.

RESPONSIBLE REASONERS ARGUE WITH THEIR AUDIENCES OR READERS IN MIND- They make a sincere effort to understand and connect with other people and other points of view because they do not see differences of opinion as obstacles to their own point of view.

RESPONSIBLE REASONERS KNOW THEIR ARGUMENTS’ CONTEXTS- They recognize that what we argue about now was argued about in the past and will be argued about in the future, that our contributions to these ongoing conversations are influenced by who we are, what made us who we are, where we are, what is going on around us.

The value of the college degree has gone down because today you don’t have to have a degree to get a well paying job. There is some understatement of going a little in debt for a degree but going thousands and thousands like 30,000 in debt for a degree might not even be worth it.

The aim of argument in the essay is, if it is worth it to for these people to go in debt and it could never get paid off or it will but if it doesn’t it can really hurt them

I think he does meet the requirement and and meets all the points in his arguments

C1: Changing College Debt

R1: Tuition continues to rise above the wage of a large amount of the population.

R2: Although students have a large political influence, most of them are rather financially comfortable and end up protesting larger subjects often unrelated to their own societal issues.

E1: Sally Mae, just one college debt service, spent $1,500,000 in one year lobbying their political stance, while the entire USSA could only afford $20,000.

E2: Anya cites the Yale student sit in, in order to convince their own university to join other ivy leagues in their improved financial aid policy.

E3: State success with VA21 the first student lead PAC with what seems to be rather successful execution.

Her proposal is a persuasive to the target audience and wants change to the generation of debt and how we can change that. Most of the people in the world would agree with her who go to college and pay thousands on debt. The person who would disagree would be the university who’s getting all this money for their school to benefit and the school and the organizations.

Propose to make it a major. The people that would mostly agree is the people who are into sports, which is like people who are sports managers or athletes and they want that to be a major. The people aren’t really happy and wouldn’t want it a major are people like who are in the art and want that money that could fund their college major go to a sports major

Claim: College athletes are undervalued and should be valued as college major

Reason: They spend most of their time in college workout going over film or practicing. That sports is just like theater and there is majors for the arts.

Evidence: They credited well know athletes or the Yale theater director

1. The cost has went up and the value went down because people don’t take college as serious or learn it and don’t use it in real life and people also go to college but have so much debt they won’t make enough money on their degree to pay off their debt with other money challenges in their life
