Module 2 Discussion 
One of the most significant causes of CVD is smoking tobacco. Tobacco smoking has 
myriads of negative consequences, and in the development of cardiovascular diseases tobacco 
use plays a vital role. It is not only carcinogenic but also harmful for almost every organ in 
the human body. As a public health worker it is my duty to make the community members 
aware of the ill-effects of tobacco smoking and how to refrain from getting trapped by such 
ill-effects. To engage the community in my anti-CVD program I must first start an anti-
tobacco campaign. It has been observed that the diversified community with which I would 
have to work is constituted of majority of blacks and quite pathetically they are more prone to 
tobacco usage. This is also because the random advertisement for tobacco use makes the 
black youths in the concerned community more allured to smoking tobacco (Truth, n.d.). It is 
a fact that “Low-income neighborhoods are more likely to have tobacco retailers near schools 
than other neighborhoods” (Truth, n.d.). This fact also adds to the problem of CVD 
developing among black youths and adults.
