Reference excerpt

The Non-Smokers' Rights Association (NSRA) is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to fighting tobacco usage. It was founded in Toronto by nurse Rosalee Berlin, and quickly evolved into an international leader on the issues of tobacco control, especially tobacco advertising, tobacco sponsorship, and tobacco packaging. Its sister non-profit organization is the Smoking and Health Action Foundation (SHAF), a registered charity in Canada. SHAF provides education on the issues of tobacco control. Garfield Mahood, O.C., has been Executive Director of the NSRA and SHAF since soon after their creation in 1974. The Non-smokers' Rights Association (NSRA) and the Smoking and Health Action Foundation (SHAF) were forced to shut down in 2017 due to the federal government's failure to restore their core funding.

Awards In 2000, the NSRA received the American Cancer Society's Luther L. Terry Award For Exemplary Leadership in Tobacco Control, in the category of "Outstanding Organization". The NSRA has also been awarded the World Health Organization's Gold Medal for tobacco control, as well as the Canadian Cancer Society's Award of Merit.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Non-Smokers' Rights Association

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Non-Smokers' Rights Association claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Non-Smokers' Rights Association before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Non-Smokers' Rights Association ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Non-Smokers' Rights Association

In research: Non-Smokers' Rights Association appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Non-Smokers' Rights Association in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Non-Smokers' Rights Association is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Smoking in Canada, Tobacco control organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Non-Smokers' Rights Association outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
