My research paper should be about tobacco and all the facts regarding it, along with the negative effects it has on the body. It should also mention secondhand smoke and more serious problems like addiction.

Thesis: The use of tobacco should be banned and replaced with health-promoting products to reduce the health risks associated with it.

Ensure you adhere to all MLA requirements, especially those governing in-text citations and works cited pages. There should be  4-6 outside sources from Google Scholar only. Of those sources, at least one of them needs to be primary.

This research paper is argumentative in nature. To argue is to present an idea/claim that you as the writer can support and defend while the audience can, if they so choose, disagree. Ensure the research effectively supports your claims. You need to find the balance between your own voice and the outside research you bring to the project.
