WHY
WOULD THIS PROGRAM CONVINCE ANYONE TO REDUCE SMOKING, QUIT SMOKING OR
NOT BEGIN SMOKING?:
Because
the results hits one right where it hurts. SMACK DAB IN THE POCKETBOOK!! There are a number of areas where antismoking campaigns focus upon including
"smoking causes disease", "smoking stinks", "smoking reduces life
span", "smoking ruins your appearance", etc.. This program provides one more reason to quit or minimize ones smoking habit.
Let's look at an example emphasizing one segment of the population: OUR CHILDREN!! --> You see, due to peer and other pressures, they disregard most antismoking efforts. One reason is they believe they are immune or even immortal smoking related disease. They think --> It can't happen to me!! On the other hand, if a 13 year old realizes that smoking a pack a cigarettes a day can cost in the range of $30-60,000 over 10 years, the Corvette they dream about can turn into a used Yugo or no car at all. The aspect of "high smoking cost" may enhance antismoking sentiment and curtail our children from lighting up that first cigarette.
