Cigarette Smoking Screencast

When a person smokes, almost every single organ in his or her body is affected by the dangerous chemicals.  Cigarette smoking is a lifestyle factor known to cause an increased risk of death and disease (US Department of Health and Human Services & Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004).  Read Chapter 11 and review “The Health Consequences of Smoking” article from this week’s reading.

Next, imagine you are employed as a worksite wellness professional for a major organization.  The organization recently adopted a policy to make the campus smoke free. To help support this effort, you have decided to develop a screencast video to present to all employees that will:

  • Define the major health risks associated with cigarette      smoking.
  • Examine the health benefits of smoking cessation.
  • Explain the impact of a smoke-free environment for all      employees on wellness.
  • Explain how behavior change theories can be used to      evaluate a person’s readiness to quit smoking.
  • Explain the importance of role modeling positive      lifestyle habits.
  • Explain one way to motivate change at each stage of the      stages of change model.
  • Describe two smoking cessation aids.

For this assignment, you will be creating a screencast using Jing, Screencast-o-matic, or an alternative program with audio.
