Be formatted according to APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing guidelines. Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of six scholarly articles. Tips for Success for Critical Thinking Assignment 1. Introduction: Start by introducing tobacco use as a public health concern globally and in Saudi Arabia. Mention key statistics, like the 7 million global deaths annually and 70,000 deaths among Saudis, to highlight the urgency of the issue. Introduce the policy you selected for analysis. 2. Specific Age Groups Impacted by Tobacco Use in Saudi Arabia: Break down (usage trends ) by age group (youth, adults, and elderly) using available data. For example: Smoking prevalence among youth aged 13-15 and the rising use of e-cigarettes. High rates of tobacco use among adult men compared to women. Discuss age-specific consequences, such as increased long-term risks for youth and chronic diseases among adults. 3. Role of Public Health Organizations: Explore the work of local and international public health organizations: Saudi Ministry of Health and its efforts through anti-smoking campaigns. World Health Organization’s (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and its guidance for Saudi policies. Highlight programs such as tobacco quitlines, smoking cessation clinics, or awareness campaigns targeting youth. 4. Impact of the Policy on Tobacco Prevention: Discuss the specific objectives of the chosen policy—for example, bans on public smoking or taxation on tobacco products. Provide data or research findings on the policy’s effectiveness in reducing smoking rates. Explain how the policy could help reduce health risks, such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues, by lowering tobacco consumption. 5. Social Issues Concerning the Policy Implementation: Analyze cultural and social challenges that may arise during the policy’s implementation: Cultural norms around smoking among men or resistance from tobacco companies. Economic concerns, such as the impact of taxes on low-income individuals or businesses relying on tobacco sales. Mention any public resistance or misinformation about e-cigarettes or smoking bans. Consider religious or community leaders’ roles in supporting or opposing tobacco control measures. 6. Conclusion: Summarize the key points and emphasize the importance of tobacco prevention policies in improving public health. Suggest future recommendations, such as further policy reforms, public awareness campaigns, or collaborations with international organizations. Additional Tips: Use credible sources to support your arguments (e.g., WHO reports, Itumalla & Aldhmadi, 2020). Include data or case studies to illustrate the impact of policies. Avoid generalizations—be specific about the policy you analyze. Ensure clear structure with headings for each section to improve readability.
