we’ve known that smoking can kill you.
It is still the leading cause of preventable death in the United States and yet 42.1 million people light up and new smokers start every day.
“Smoking is my best friend,” Atlantan Barry Blackwell said. “It’s always with me long after friends have left and people have gone, they are always here.”

Financial incentives
Find company
Prescription drugs
Something to keep in mind
