Thank You For Smoking

(Foodconsumer.org) -- The World Health Organization issued a report on Feb 7 saying smoking tobacco could kill 1 billion people in the 21st century urging the nations to take measures to stop the ever-increasing smoking trends worldwide. The WHO said no country has done enough to curb tobacco use, which is expected to kill 500 million people worldwide who live today.The WHO proposed six measures for countries to adopt to fight tobacco smoking including monitoring tobacco use and prevention; protecting people from tobacco smoke; offering help to quit tobacco use, warning people about the dangers of tobacco; enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship; and raising taxes on tobacco.

BTW: I am smoke free for 13 months now! ( Better late than never I guess...)
