You
probably already know that smoking tobacco is the Number 1 cause of
preventable death.
Just
choosing NOT to spend a lot of money on a habit that is for many very
addicting, and therefore hard to quit—a habit that you are not
allowed to do in an increasing number of places—a habit that causes
your skin to wrinkle, your hair and clothes to smell bad to many, and
your colds and other illnesses to be more frequent and more
severe—just choosing NOT to do this one “bad habit” is the
Number 1 thing you can do to live a healthier, longer life.
Today
alone, May 31, 2012, more than 1,000 people in the U.S. alone will
die of smoking-related causes!
Still,
an awful lot of people smoke tobacco, and a lot of kids start smoking
every day. It's pretty crazy.

| The cost of cigarettes can add up to more than a thousand dollars a year, but if you count in higher insurance costs, higher medical costs, and lower car and home resale values, it is estimated that smoking could cost about $10,000 each and every year!!! |
This
year's theme of World No-Tobacco Day is “tobacco industry
interference.”
