Research title: “The effects of stop smoking initiative among young adults in London”TASK 1A CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 Research Project DescriptionSmoking was not an issue unless the awareness about cancer was on high emergence.The increasing level of globalisation and more dependence of individuals on technology has ledto rise in loneliness and depression. People nowadays find it difficult to share their views andopinions with each other due to lack of faith, trust and time. This automatically resulted in moreinclination towards activities that relieve the mind from stress and anxiety. Smoking, drugs,alcoholism, etc. are some of these activities (Mahishale and et. al., 2015). There have been widescale campaigning regarding cessation of smoking amongst young adults. The Stop smokinginitiative was launched by NHS in UK. Being a premier health care organisation of the country,it is the responsibility of this organisation to develop strategies which will reduce the tobaccoconsumption or smoking habits of individuals in communities. One of these strategies is StopSmoking initiative.People might consider that smoking helps in exiting the present stressful condition andwould not cause any sort of physical harm. But there are certain ill-effects of this particularescape technique (Khan and et. al., 2014). People are disabled intellectually, emotionally andsensory motors are affected. Furthermore, the lungs cater tobacco from the cigarette and there isdeposition of tartar in the respiratory channels. This blocks the flow of oxygenated blood andmakes the body prone to diseases. The more a person indulges in smoking, more is the risk ofcancer and death. The end results of an active smoker are very brutal and fatal. Despite of theoccurrence and emergence of various programs and activities regarding awareness of ill-effectsof smoking; individuals still engage themselves in active smoking (Rattan and et. al., 2013).Rationale of studyDeath is of two types i.e. preventable and non-preventable. England has witnessedsmoking to be the largest cause of preventable death.

There are various efforts made by the governmentfor creating awareness and stopping individuals to engage in smoking. Hence, there is a1

Smoking is the process in which a human being inhales and exhales the smoke which isproduced on burning tobacco. According to Schreuders and et. al. (2017), religious rituals andmedicinal purpose was considered as the primary reason for consumption of smoking in theearlier ages. But currently, smoking has become a style statement or lifestyle symbol forindividuals to develop their standard of living. Hamad and et. al.
