With no-smoking signs at Neahwa Park in addition to local restaurants, smokers are under siege. According to the American Cancer Society, “...each day, 4,000 teens under 18 try smoking for the first time and 1,000 become regular, daily smokers.” It is said that those who start smoking before they turn 18 are the least likely to quit later in life. A parent’s good example is one of the best ways to keep kids smoke free.
Not ready to quit? Then quit or cut back for just one day—Thursday Nov 20th is the Great American Smokeout. Win a t-shirt and get more tips at ACS events.
And best wishes--it's not easy, but worth it!
