Answered by Examlex AI CopilotOne piece of personal experience or observation I could use in my speech about smoking on campus is the fact that I have seen many students smoking in designated smoking areas as well as in non-smoking areas, which has led to secondhand smoke exposure for non-smokers.
For a primary source, I could use a study conducted by the university's health department that shows the negative impact of smoking on campus, such as increased litter from cigarette butts and the health risks associated with secondhand smoke.
As a secondary source, I could reference a report from the American Lung Association that provides statistics on the prevalence of smoking among college students and the detrimental effects it has on their health.
Lastly, for an anecdote, I could share a story about a friend or classmate who struggled with quitting smoking while on campus and the challenges they faced in finding support and resources to help them quit. This personal story could help humanize the issue and make it more relatable to the audience.
