World No Tobacco Day

Snap out of it! World No Tobacco Day illustrates the dangers of the tobacco industry’s attitudes to the health and economic welfare of those who smoke. World No Tobacco Day encourages health and improvement in communities worldwide by challenging the worldwide tobacco crisis.



I am a reformed smoker.  I have not smoked in over 10 years.  Smoking cigarettes results in an addiction to nicotine and is the main cause of Lung cancer, and many other diseases.  Second-hand smoke affects others that don’t even smoke cigarettes.  It causes a stale odor in your home, clothing, and your hair.  Unfortunately, when you are a smoker, you become somewhat insusceptible to the health issues associated with smoking, not to mention unsightly odor.  

I was a heavy smoker (i.e. “Mad Men” all day, every day), and it was hard to stop.  I actually stopped at least 3 to 4 times before I actually stopped for good.  I tried the gum, several natural ways like chewing on whole cloves, whole cinnamon sticks, and lastly a prescription drug.  Although my close friends would encourage me to stop, I was never ostracized because of my habit.  As a non-smoker now, I try to extend the same to others who still smoke. 

World No Tobacco Day is conducted by the United Nations, World Health Organization (WHO).  They report risks of consuming tobacco and make individuals mindful of the industry practices of tobacco businesses. Tobacco is a billion dollar industry that contributes to six million deaths a year worldwide. Although, portrayed a something cool to do, it isn't, not to mention, it is expensive and highly addictive.  So be cool at something else!!! The message starts with you!
