Hypothesis
Nicotine, the main ingredient in the cigarettes, travel to the brain within 8 seconds of the first inhalation. This information found online encouraged me to ask this question, “How does nicotine affect the users mentally? According to the American Cancer Society, each year 443,600 people (1,215 each day) in the United States die from the effects of smoking. What nicotine does to the brain is it gets lodged onto the brain receptors and activates areas of the brain involved in producing feelings of pleasure and reward. The age group that I am focusing on is teens. Finding this I expect most of my respondents to choose cigarettes over any of the other necessities of life.
Context-
The audience that I surveyed was teenagers. The reason I choose them was to obtain a clear understanding about a smoker’s mentality. When distributing my survey; however, I discovered My results were not valid. The reason I know this is because of the answers I got from my respondents. Most of them do smoke, which was a major setback. Discovering this I had to change my questions and age group. The group that I should focus on should be adults. I believe that adults smoke more than minors because they have access to this drug. Adults would better my research not only because they have the readiness of this drug; however, their addiction is much more developed than minors.
