We already know that smoking is bad for our health yet some people still do it.  It destroys you, the people around you and the environment.  So what good does smoking do?  Sometimes I want to agree when someone said that smokers are selfish.  They only think of themselves.

You have seen the pictures.  You have read the stats that smoking kills.

There was a petition from change.org prohibiting stores located 100 meters from school premises not to sell cigarettes to minors.  According to Section 10 of Republic Act No. 9211 (Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003):

Sec. 10. Sale of Tobacco Products Within School Perimeters. –The sale or distribution of tobacco products is prohibited within one hundred (100) meters from any point of the perimeter of a school, public playground or other facility frequently particularly by minors.

Sadly, this is not followed by store owners so some doctors came up with a petition that these owners should not sell cigarettes to minors.

Why stop there?  It will be better not to sell cigarettes at all.  In fact, stop cigarette companies from manufacturing cigarettes and shut down (or shot down) their businesses.

You complain about air pollution?  You complain about destruction of environment? You say you are a responsible smoker?  Then be responsible enough to think more about others.

For Filipinos, here is the petition against store owners to stop selling cigarettes to minors.  You can check out the petition by clicking the link below.
