Efectos perjudiciales por la exposición al humo de tabaco ambiental para la salud

After the release of Something Special (1981), which continued the level of success of the previous two albums, the band recorded their fourth and final album with Deodato, As One (1982). The latter struggled to reach gold certification in the US, which led to the band's decision to end their time with Deodato as they had enough with the direction they had adopted. [33] They then decided to produce their next album, In the Heart (1983), by themselves with Jim Bonnefond as co-producer. The album contained the US top-five single " Joanna". The song was declared the most-played pop song in 1984 by Broadcast Music International. [37] Bonnefond stayed with the group for Emergency (1984), which remains their highest selling album with over two million copies sold in the US. It spawned four US top 20 singles, including "Emergency", " Cherish", " Fresh", and "Misled". This feat made Kool & the Gang the only band to have four top 20 singles from a single album in 1985. [38] In mid-1976, Kool & the Gang entered a period of commercial decline; Rolling Stone writer Geoff Himes wrote the disco-era "frowned on their loose and greasy approach to dance music." [18] Their three albums released during this time, Open Sesame (1976), The Force (1977), and Everybody's Dancin' (1978), failed to generate the same commercial or critical acclaim as their previous records. Bell later said the albums "bent our style a bit and we didn't feel at home with it". [26] The Force and Everybody's Dancin ' displayed the group's attempt to adopt disco elements with female vocalists and a string section, but Robert Bell later said the group got "Too fancy and over-creative [...] We got away from the basic Kool & the Gang sound [...] and the public didn't like it". The change in style affected their ability to secure as many dates as before, working "just off and on" during this time. [27] [28] The latter album received negative responses; one review for Everybody's Dancin ' had the headline: "Kool and the Gang have gone bland." Writer Mike Duffy wrote: "They've joined the disco lemmings [...] The edge has gone. Say so long to the raw and raunchy." [29] Las compañías fabricantes de cigarrillos controlan el impacto y el suministro de nicotina de muchas maneras, incluso en el diseño de filtros y en la selección del papel para cigarrillos con el fin de acrecentar al máximo la ingestión de nicotina, añadiendo amoníaco para hacer menos áspero el sabor de los cigarrillos y controlando la composición física y química de la mezcla del tabaco.

Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory infections, ear problems, severe asthma, and reduced lung function.Kool & the Gang's first album with Deodato, Ladies' Night, was released in September 1979 and became their most successful album since their formation. This was helped by the hit singles " Too Hot" and " Ladies' Night", which went to No. 5 and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, respectively. [35] In January 1980, Ladies' Night was certified platinum by the RIAA for selling one million copies in the US. [23] [8] Later that year, Celebrate! became a bigger commercial success than Ladies' Night; the lead single " Celebration" remains the band's only single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The song originated from the lyric "Come on, let's all celebrate" from "Ladies' Night", which inspired Robert Bell to write "an international anthem." [18] [35] The band developed the song on a tour bus after attending the American Music Awards. [36] The song was used in national media coverage for the 1980 World Series, the 1981 Super Bowl, the 1981 NBA Finals, and the 1981 return of the Iran hostages.

On November 20, 2022, the group performed a special live concert at the naming ceremony for the newly christened Carnival Celebration, notably performing “ Celebration” as a nod to the newest addition to the Carnival fleet. [54] Music appearances [ edit ] After securing their new name and line-up, Kool & the Gang secured a recording deal with Redd's new independent label, De-Lite Records. Redd wrote: "I discovered these eight supertalented incomparable young musicians [...] I immediately realized that their potential would earn them success unknown by most musicians". [19] The group entered the studio and recorded their debut album, the all-instrumental Kool and the Gang (1970), with Redd as a producer, arranger, conductor, and partial songwriter. It is their only album with guitarist Woody Sparrow who completed a temporary eight-man formation. [20] The album peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard R&B chart. Around this time, the group began to develop their stage performance after they witnessed a set by Willie Feaster and the Mighty Magnificents which, according to Robert Bell, "Blew us away [...] We thought, 'Wow, if we want to be in show business, we have to change our act. We can't just stand up there and play'." [11] Also at this time, the group were asked to deliver songs with vocals. Despite Bell recalling the group sounding "real ragged" with lyrics at first, "Bit by bit we gained in confidence... we kinda learnt how to sing as we went along."
