When Cause and effect happens, it often shows a premise then
a conclusion because of the premise. For example, I slept in too late so I
missed my class. While sometimes the cause and effect may not be as clear as
other situations, they will always be able to be pointed out. In the text book
Dr. Novello has the problem that more teenagers are starting to smoke. Now there
could be many possibilities of the cause in this situation but from the text it
looks like that the ads that are being used to target teenagers and make
smoking look like “the cool” thing to do. To fix this problem Dr. Novello
pushed for the banning of advertising cigarettes to the youth and for schools
to start educating students of the harms of smoking. I believe that these
changes are helping because being educated about the harms of smoking and
knowing what it does to your body makes it hard to smoke without thinking of
what your doing to your body.

Cause and Effect happens frequently and it is sometimes relatable to the butterfly effect. I agree with your post and how the changes she made made an impact and educated the youth about the harms of smoking. Smoking harms the body and I am happy that people like Dr. Novello care enough to make a difference. When she found out that the ads were causing teenagers to smoke, she was able to use her education to educate others. In today's society, I am thankful that there are not a lot of smoking ads like before. I believe the trend of smoking has gone down, which is overall a good thing.
