Stop smoking

1. YOUTH STATISTICS

2. MALAYSIA SMOKING STATISTICS
Here are more smoking statistics from Malaysia:

*Every day about 50 teenagers below the age of 18 start smoking.
*Smoking is estimated to have caused more than half a million coronary events.
*Smoking rates are highest in rural Kelantan and lowest in urban Penang and Sarawak.
*Malaysia has been dubbed the "indirect advertising capital" of the world. Some of the tobacco
industry's most blatant efforts to target young people can be seen here.
*At least two tobacco companies were among the top 10 advertisers in recent years.

My advice: Smoking is a highly dangerous activity. You are not only putting your own health and future in danger, but you are also harming your loved ones. They breathe in your secondhand smokemore than anyone do. Think, before you satisfy your daily craving of nicotine.
