One of my all time favorites:




In honor of today's Great American Smokeout. Almost 50 million Americans smoke. Half of all adult smokers were regular smokers by the time they turned 18. Every day, 4000 adolescents aged 12-17 smoke their first cigarette. 1300 of these will become lifetime smokers, and half of those will die from a smoking related condition. (Do the math, that's 650 adolescents per day who are taking their first steps down a road that will eventually kill them.)

If you haven't started, use today as a reminder of why you haven't. If you have started, today is a great day to stop.
