I feel that I am a fairly open minded, flexible person. But there is one thing I just can't wrap my head around at all – smoking. It is just plain bad for you and quitting is one of the best things you can do for your health. There are so many reasons to quit lighting up!
Today, May 31, is World No Tobacco Day, sponsored by the World Health Organization. The theme this year is breaking the advertising net, especially those ads targeting kids. Worldwide, most people take up smoking before the age of 18, with a quarter of those beginning at age 10! When people begin smoking at an early age, they are less likely to quit and more likely to become regular tobacco users.
The WHO has an ambitious plan to create a total ban on all forms of tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship by the tobacco industry. If you are interested in participating in an event near you, find one here.

it's funny i came across this-i was trying to quit smoking today (or at least smoking less)
1I'm proud to say that I haven't smoked in over a month! Cutting down to about 1-2 cigs a day helped me fully quit. It's tough, but definitely worth it.
2Smoking is such a nasty habit...props to everyone who's smoke free and good luck to all of you out there who are trying to quit. Quitting smoking is one of the best ways to improve your health.
3Blech. I don't get smoking either.
4Honestly I'd like every day to be like this because I'm allergic to smoke from cigarettes. Tobacco should be illegal.
5Ick.
