Put Down That Cigarette: It's the Great American Smokeout

Let's just cut to the chase: everyone knows that smoking kills. Then again, so do stress, vodka, charcoal and high fructose corn syrup. But this isn't a public service board, nor do we care to proselytize - we'd just like to point out that today is the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout. And unlike the other Great American Smokeout a few months from now, this one's designed to do your body a bit of good. Considering quitting? Care to plan a whole day around it? We're quite happy with our Nat Shermans, thanks, but we do realize just what a world of hurt we're getting ourselves into. And just for today, we're willing to put down the pack and take a break. If you don't believe you can do it, check out a few statistics on smoking courtesy the Detroit Free Press.
