There's lots of good reasons why you should become active in the fight against tobacco use. Here are just a few...
It's a great learning experience
Meet new people, make new friends
Because you're a frontiersman, a rebel, a pioneer, an achiever
See the results of your actions - it's very rewarding
Practice for adulthood
You're not scared to make a difference
You refuse to be a sucker to tobacco ads and promotions
You're helping to save lives
It feels great to help others
It's important to let everyone know why smoking is not a wise choice
When your generation becomes older, there might not be enough social security for everyone because so much of the money will be used to pay for tobacco related illnesses
Most people don't know the TRUTH about tobacco. It is crucial that people know, because if they do, it would give them more motivation to quit.
