Ban smoking in colleges is a very interested topic to write about. It is one of the topics that I have some background about in before and after deciding to make it the topic for my project. It is easy to write about such a topic that you seem you know more about. In addition, researching about this topic means that the researcher has a lot of values and morals that is related to our respected societies. Smoking is very related to the morals of the person researching for it as well as the societies that we live in between. Our societies do not accept anything that could disrupt our life as well as our health. Health is very important factor to make your society creative and live with happiness. I have a very big background about this topic especially when we relate this topic to our personal morals. Also, smoking is considered as one of the factors that you can evaluate someone's values and morals. Indeed, smoking is banned religiously as well as culturally. As a reason, some cultures consider smokers as bad people. This idea is very important in our life and that again makes me qualified to research about this topic. 


The writer of this topic makes it very clear to the administration of the USC that new policy of banning smoking in campus is not followed by many of the students. Also, he/she says that rather than asking smokers to stop smoking they have to help them quit by providing a lot of programs. 

The writer was able to convey his message to the responsible people of the issue. He/she feels unsatisfied about the new policy or at least to change it to the better. The writer maybe interested in changing the policy and to not charge students if they break the policy. 

The writer seems to be giving readers a claim that the new policy is not working because he/she do need to break the policy. Also, in most of the times the writer credibility about the topic could be true. That is because no changes have happened once the new policy has been implemented. 


Natalie Pita discusses new policy evaluation after one year of the implementation. She says that the new policy is effective on students' success as well as effective on their health. The USC health responsible provides some programs to help smokers quit. Also, it asks some other campuses to implement the new policy.

The article is focusing more on the benefits that have been testified after the implementing the new policy. The article serves the healthy campus that need to be to found for students. It also stands beside the majority of students who are nonsmokers because of their love to be healthy. 

The author's credibility is very obvious to the reader. Pita was able to convey the administrations' letter to the public. She talks a lot about how we can help students to get healthier and by focusing on that, her credibility presents to the reader and was very obvious. 


Reed Megan discusses how the changes of being free-smoking campus have been implemented in the world. She states that according to a report from ANRF most of the world campuses have changed or at least trying to change to the new policy of smoking. She provides some examples of campuses that implemented the new policy. 

The major value of this article is to see how the implementation of the new policy is very important to students' life inside the campus. Also, it depicts awareness of most of the campuses that the healthy life of students while inside the campus is one of the factors that determines their creativity. 

The writer's credibility is existed in this article. Reed shows that when she gives some examples about the topic. The source depicts more about how important to change the campus and make it to be healthy campus. So, the credibility of this source is existed and there is no bias. 

The research question means that does implementing the new policy of smoking effect the students health or does not? It gives the reader more meaning that we have to change our campus position to a healthy campus. If I would revise this research question I change the words rather than the meaning. That is because the question seems to cover most of what I could research in the future. This question is suitable for a research project because most of people do agree with what I am searching for. All of that means that the feasibility of the question has a possibility.
