My Essential Question

Essential Question: To what extent does smoking cigarettes negatively impact cardiovascular health?

Why did you select this as your essential question?
I chose this question for my project because I believe that it is something that crosses many people's minds. I also believe that this question is relevant to many people because so many people smoke cigarettes and as young people begin to decide if they want to smoke cigarettes.

What excites you most about finding the answer to this essential question?
I am most excited about finding empirical evidence that proves this research question either way. I know that smoking cigarettes negatively impacts cardiovascular health but the part I am excited about discovering is the extent of its impact.

Do you feel that this question accurately reflects a desire/need that you have to find out more about this topic?
I believe that this topic does reflect a need for myself because though I don't plan on every smoking cigarettes, it certainly doesn't mean that people will try me to join them in smoking cigarettes.
