A. Introduction – State your topic and the purpose of your paper clearly –  What is the main reason you are writing the paper? Explain briefly the major points you plan to cover in your paper and why readers should be interested in your topic. I have already started with and actually submitted the introduction below

“INTRODUCTION 

The chosen topic of my course paper is “The regulation of tobacco products, including advertising and promotion” 

Tobacco and Tobacco products are not considered therapeutic agents, yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that over 34 million Americans use Tobacco products. The CDC also mentions that Tobacco manufacturing companies spent over $9 billion dollars in advertisement in 2018 alone (“Tobacco industry marketing,” 2020). These are astronomical numbers for a product that raise potential health concerns. 

I have thus chosen this topic to discuss the unique public health standards used by the FDA to evaluate Tobacco Products. My paper will also examine effective regulations, advertising, promotion, and statutes that impact the measures of the FDA’s evaluation of these Products.”

b. Body (Facts, Analysis, and Discussion) – Present the findings about your topic and supporting arguments. Cases would be included in this section.

c. Conclusion – Restate the reason you are writing the paper. Summarize your findings and arguments. Explain why you have come to this particular conclusion
