Sometimes it seems we don't have enough days in the year for all the SPECIAL INTERESTS that want to claim a day for themselves... but today, there's an important day we ought to celebrate:

WORLD *NO-TOBACCO* DAY

According to the World Lung Foundation, every year 10 million people die from lung disease. We're presuming the cause of most of the lung disease is from inhaling tobacco smoke - but even if not, lung damage from cigarette smoke CAN EASILY BE PREVENTED, by not smoking and by not inhaling second-hand cigarette smoke...

Let's not push our cigarettes to OTHERS, and especially not to kids, no matter where they are in the world.
