    Walgreens Case Study

    Walgreens has been a U.S. company since Charles R. Walgreen Sr. opened his first drug store in Chicago in 1901. Today, Walgreens has a total of 8,678 stores, in every state and U.S. territories. Last year, however, it proposed to become a Switzerland firm. The CEO of Walgreens planed to merge with Europe-based Alliance Boots to acquire a legal address abroad even though Walgreens earns most of its profits in America. The reason had nothing to do with manufacturing costs or access to foreign…

    American Express Hiring Smokers

    A board member for American Express has brought up the fact that some companies are starting to refuse hiring smokers and that the same should be discussed at the next month’s meeting. He brought this to attention due to the fact that medical costs are rising 10 to 15 percent a year. Employing a smoker, on average, cost about $4000 more a year because of higher Health-Care cost and lost productivity. Smokers will have 50 percent more absenteeism and because of smoke break will work 1,817 hour less a year, that’s 39 minutes of lost productivity per day even when they’re present. Would it be ethical for American Express to not only refuse smokers but to fire current employees that smoke, or is it the choice of the person to make whatever decision they please?…

    Should Mr. Chapman Be Allowed To Treat Anxiety?

    Case 3 Part C For the case of Mr. Chapman, our group decided that he should not be allowed to smoke and another alternative method should be used to treat his anxiety. This action is consistent with the level of moral behavior that I anticipated because action needed to be taken to either prevent or allow Mr. Chapman to smoke. As mentioned earlier, we recommended that Mr. Chapman find an alternative method to reduce his anxiety. Possible solutions include medication, or a nicotine patch and gum.…

    Summary Of Rethinking Our Right To Dangerous Behaviors By Mark Bittman

    In Rethinking Our ‘Rights’ to Dangerous Behaviors, Mark Bittman tries to bring attention to unseen or disregarded dangers to the average citizen about the often corrupt ways of Big Business. People often overlook the process of how a product reaches their hands. Most often people only care that they have something to consume, food, drink, medicines or cigarettes, or a product, cars or guns, to show off to friends and neighbors. “But Freudenberg details how six industries — food and beverage, tobacco, alcohol, firearms, pharmaceutical and automotive — use pretty much the same playbook to defend the sales of health-threatening products. This playbook, largely developed by the tobacco industry, disregards human health and poses greater threats to our existence than any communicable disease you can name.”…

    Not All Companies Are Viewed Equal: Rights of Tobacco Companies

    People have so many things that tempt us daily and for some people tobacco is one of those things. Some people view it as a stress reliever. We have fast-food restaurants, ice-cream shops, doughnut & coffee shops, bars, liquor stores, and a lot more things that can tempt someone every single day. Just because we have things out there to tempt us, does not mean that we have to buy the product. Now we all know that tobacco is very detrimental to one’s health. However, at least R.J. Reynolds really takes pride in their products and they make sure they do everything in their power to follow regulations, policies, and procedures. “In June 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began regulating cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products.” We are all aware of the risks of smoking and sometimes unfortunately, things will happen to…

    Long Live the Career Smoker

    In a study conducted through the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, it was found that between the years of 1998-2006, fifty percent of American children were exposed to second hand smoke on a daily basis. Dave Eggers, having experienced this statistic first-hand, tends to have a very biased but yet unique opinion as to why smokers continue with their habit-- even though they are all well aware of the possible outcomes of their choices. In 1998, Eggers wrote an essay that was published in Esquire Magazine. Continuing to fight the idea of smoking and it’s after-effects, Eggers uses personal experience, interviews, and research into tobacco companies to depict the one idea in regards to a smoker’s death that has gone unanswered for far too long: “Ultimately, who’s to blame?”…

    Ellis County Population

    Controlling the use of tobacco in this county will help reduce the healthcare costs incurred in treating patients suffering from tobacco-related health conditions. In the year 2002 alone, the Center for Drug Control released estimates of about $4,000 per individual in health care costs for tobacco usage. About 26% of citizens in the Ellis County are tobacco users (State of the County’s Health Report, n.d). This is an issue that contributes to poor health in the county and needs to be controlled as soon as…

    CVS CASE STUDY NO TOBACCO

    CVS has recently decided to eliminate cigarettes from their vast options of items to purchase at all of their locations. Surprising at first you might ask yourself, why would a company willingly give up on over two billion dollars of profit annually? The primary answer being conveyed by CVS executives is that “Tobacco products have no place in a setting where health care is delivered.” This company is making a bold statement that money does not affect the way we feel about our customers. Scott Mushkin, an analyst with Wolfe Research in New York stated that “ CVS has aligned its business to the pharmacy, Tobacco is an ancillary business, and it’s not the reason why most people go to CVS.”…

    Tobacco Companies Know the Effects

    “Government slowly suffocating these companies who are entitled to advertise and sell their legal ware”. Wait! Dr. Michael Kirsch offers up his support for the big tobacco companies, and in fact feels that consumers knew or should have known the effects of tobacco consumption. With mounting evidence over the years focused on the lies surrounding tobacco companies’ corporate practices, advertising game plans and falsification of nicotine content in their products, one may ask, how can anyone not find fault with tobacco companies. Considering the increasing death rate associated with tobacco consumption, and the falsification of facts regarding the risks associated with tobacco consumption, Dr. Kirsch presumably has a flawed perception of reality regarding the facts surrounding this perceived pandemic. Moreover, how logical is it to hear a medical doctor come to the defense of tobacco companies. In fact, I believe that heavier regulation of the “messages” sent to the public should be imposed, and give the consumers the truth behind what effects are associated with the consumption of “high risk habits”, such as tobacco consumption.…

    Weyco employees were of mixed opinion about the tobacco-free policy. One employee who gave up cigarettes commented, "I had to choose between whether I wanted to keep my job and whether I wanted to keep smoking. To me it was a no-brainer." But another, who left the company rather than quit smoking, derided the invasion of privacy. "You feel like you have no rights," she said. "It had to do with my privacy in my own home."…

    A Fire Breathing Dragon that has no Spark, so what does it have?

    Another detail about smoking in public areas is the possibly of a person being in the room who is allergic to the smoke. Some may not realize it at first until after the first couple of puffs. Responsibility is then placed at an all-time high for that person who decided not to do so somewhere else. My little brother is one of those people, and the irony is that my sister is a smoker. Granted she’s tried to quit and takes her smokes outside and out of everyone’s space after we soon found out about my brother’s condition. That and no one really likes the scent of smoke in the house.…

    Ordinance

    Section 1 states that smoking is strictly banned in public places such as youth activity center, elevators and stairwells, near fire hazards, buildings and premises of public and private hospitals, public conveyances and public facilities, and food preparation areas. This is observed in some places. In schools, for example, they do prohibit smoking but other students smoke especially those college students when is not seen by public authorities and concerned teachers. I have seen people smoking near gasoline stations. It’s inappropriate! But what’s more disgusting are the gasoline boys who have seen it yet hadn’t done anything about it. They must’ve known that smoking is dangerous especially it’s in the station. Every gasoline station must have CCTV cameras to properly secure their customers and workers. Hospitals like Metro Vigan Cooperative Hospital and other health facilities strictly prohibit smoking. It’s proven and I’ve observed this. Food stalls does not prohibit smoking because it’s their customers and/or perhaps they do not have knowledge of the ordinance.…
