In the midst of conducting my research, I didn't have very much trouble finding useful and credible sources. It was fairly easy to find information on the effects of secondhand smoking and what that is. But it was a little harder to find information on the effects of having a ban on smoking in public places; finding information dealing with South Carolina specifically was definitely a challenge. The most useful source that I encountered during my research would probably be Mayo Clinic. It had a lot of useful information on the health aspect of my topic. On that website is where I learned a lot of my information about what secondhand smoke really does to you. The most trustworthy source that I used was EBSCO host. It is the most trustworthy because it isn't just your average Google search. This search engine pulls information from the latest and most trusted web articles and newspapers. However, the sources that displayed obvious bias were the ones that were mainly MSNBC because most of the articles dealing with my topic on that site were editorials. But for the most part, overall, my research on whether South Carolina should place a ban on smoking in public places was a success.
