Rook is 'n gewoonte wat meestal deur kinders of tieners aangeleer word. Die voorbeelde van ouers, familie en rolmodelle wat rook moenie onderskat word nie. Dr Michail Eriksen sê dat kinders begin rook omdat dit vir hulle 'n gevoel van vryheid gee en later kan hulle nie ophou nie. Die ironie is dat die nikotienverslawing juis vryheid en onafhanklikheid wegneem. Volgens 'n opname deur die Amerikaanse Kankervereniging geniet slegs 16% van rokers sigarette werklik. Om te dink dat jy 'n sigaret geniet, is 'n tragiese vorm van selfmisleiding. Die talle ellendes en siektes wat die roker dikwels vroeër, maar beslis later tref, word beskryf in hoofstukke 4 tot 9. Maar eers word gekyk na die redes waarom mense rook, daarna word die chemiese samestelling van tabakrook ontleed en dan kyk ons na statistieke en tendense.

This book assesses stability guarantees through the lens of the legitimate expectations principle to offer a new perspective on the stability concept in international energy investments. The analysis of the interaction between the concepts of stability and legitimate expectations reveals that there are now more opportunities for energy investors to argue their cases before arbitral tribunals. The book offers detailed analyses of the latest energy investment arbitral awards from Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic, and reflects on the state of the art of the legitimate expectations debate and its relationship with the stability concept. The author argues that, in order to achieve stability, the legitimate expectations principle should be employed as the main investment protection tool when a dispute arises on account of unilateral host state alterations. This timely work will be useful to both scholars and practitioners who are interested in international energy law, investment treaty arbitration, and international investment law.
