Many years ago a survey published by the World Health Organization (WHO) stated the following Philippine smoking / tobacco facts:
- About 60% of Filipino men smoke
- More than half of Filipino households are NOT smoke-free
- As many as 40% of adolescents boys smoke; most began in their early teens. Another 6% were former smokers. The majority of these young smokers said peer pressure was one reason why they took up smoking. Most now wish they did not smoke and about two-thirds have tried to give up.
- Every year, there are about 20,000 smoking-related deaths that occur
- Many vendors of cigarettes are children
With this site, we will help Filipinos quit smoking by providing free content (news, articles, videos) that will add value and will seek to provide relevant information on the following areas:
- Life-threatening Effects of Smoking
- Recent Studies about Smoking and Tobacco use
- Alternatives to Smoking
- Positive Effects of Quitting Smoking
- Health Benefits of a Nicotine-Free Life
We also give a FREE 7-part E-course if the visitors opt-in to our Free Quit Smoking Newsletter.
With that, we hope to encourage you, your friends, your loved ones, your officemates, your Facebook friends and Twitter followers to Quit Smoking Today!
