smoking ban

I'm so happy they're finally going to vote on a smoking ban in Louisville. It's a shame they can't ban smoking in bars as well, but then I don't like bars anyway, unless they're in restaurants, so it won't affect me much ( Read more... )

It's easy... you just tell them about cancer, and tobacco, and statistics, and what dying of cancer is like. Of all the ways to die (car accident, heart attack, heart failure, kidney or liver failure) that are common, cancer is probably more painful.

it's not that easy. especially if the person doesnt care/want to stop. they need to want it. nowadays we all know about what will happen.

I think the idea is that if you discuss those things with them, it will probably make them think about it and get them to want to quit. Quitting itself is a very difficult thing to do, so they're not going to do it right away, most likely, especially if they're going through something stressful.
