I have seen some very bad outcomes that have happened to people who by choice, have smoked. I have seen similar outcomes to people who have never smoked, yet have been exposed to tobacco smoke.
There are plenty of advertisements and literature about stopping smoking and there is assistance available.
It puzzles me though why I have seen no ads or promotion for people - especially kids not to start smoking!
Television and the Internet are powerful mediums yet nowhere have I seen the 'not start message.'
About Me
- Footsteps NZ-TZ
- I trained as a Forest Ranger and have spent a lifetime growing/harvesting trees in sustainable plantation forests. I have also been involved in the protection of indigenous forest, though are not totally against sustainable utilization. I have also worked as a nurseryman/manager, encouraging the planting of trees as a way to improve the planet, conserve soils and regulate rainfall. My life-changing experience was to use my skills in order to help improve the living environment of some village people in Tanzania and do some other projects such as rainwater harvesting and school building. I worked there for some seven years. There were some 28 primary and 7 secondary schools involved with the projects - all of them in the poorer rural areas surrounding the base of Mt Meru, Tanzania. I call the first NGO I worked for Hifadhi, meaning Conservation. The bulk of my time was with DME.
