Hello, Readers, May 31, 2018

No Tobacco Day, May 31, was established with the goal of raising awareness of the dangers of this habit, and the thousands of lives it costs every year. Tobacco used to be considered an innocuous little treat for the civilized man, and even went so far as to be touted as healthy by business and (doubtless) paid off doctors to help promote it for use. A hundred years and millions of deaths later it’s become undeniable that tobacco use is one of the primary killers of people all over the world. The average smoker spends around $4,000 a year on cigarettes. Imagine what you could do with that kind of money!
