I wish a ban on selling cigarettes to teenagers will see the light in my country and all over the world to stop the violation of teenagers' right to enjoy a healthy life.

Let's start a petition

Now we should start from the top not the bottom of the pyramid 0.Indeed , we should ask parent and adults, mainly the smokers, to send their message to teenagers telling them how tobacco is an insult to their life and the future generations.Children are the fortune of the world if we don't take care of them, it will vanish.

Hi there!

I've learned about World No Tobacco Day and I'd like to help people to learn more about this initiative. Since I'm a graphic designer I made a logo for World No Tobacco Day. Of course, this logo is not official logo, but I hope to attract people's attention. Here is the website where you may score my design and if the number of votes would be considerable, logo would be printed on t-shirts and distributed all over the world: http://www.threadless.com/threadless/pause-smoking-may-31...

It isn't important for me, but it is important for the human race. Smoke is the 1st epidemic, the 1st avoidable death cause, the 2nd death cause. Smoke is addiction, money, cough, death, cancer, infarction.
