The Great American Smokeout

At least as addictive as cocaine, the substance that turns good girls into prostitutes, good boys into street thugs, and poor farmers into pawns for our enemies, tobacco, especially in the form of a cigarette, is one of the worst things ever invented by man. Diseases abound from its use, clothes stink, money is wasted, property is destroyed, values of homes and cars are lowered, people are inconvenienced, and fires started that destroy forests, homes, and peoples lives.

Putting down those smokes and walking away is the hardest thing I have ever done and it is a daily battle, even after all this time. Like any addiction, pick up just one cigarette, smoke it, and one can be fully hooked again.
