Tobacco is the number one cause of preventable death in the U.S., and in the next few years, it will be the number one killer worldwide.
Bad Air
Second hand smoke is classified as an air pollutant, and with good reason. Because it contributes to so many diseases, many states have passed laws protecting workers, children, and the public.
Small Declines, Big Benefits
Declines in smoking prevalence have huge benefits that accumulate over time …
… but kicking the habit is often difficult.
One of the best ways to ensure cessation for good is to come up with a plan and enlist the help of others (the American Cancer Society has some great, free resources). Doing so might just make November 20th the day when tobacco use became just another statistic.
