Re: Why SG don't have this type of Health Promotion???
I am not a smoker but a typical smoker after receiving the shock leaflet will think:
"It's OK, I am older and wiser than the kid. I am not a hypocrite. I made the informed decision to smoke because I need to. I have stress to deal with and smoking cigarettes helps me relax. Also it is ideal for socializing. The kid is still growing and smoking might stunt his/her development so it's really bad for them. They are too young to think for themselves so I must educate them. I am already half way to the grave. It is reasonable to trade a little of my life span for immediate gratification. Plus who wants to live so long anyway. I am not even sure I am enough money for such a long retirement. Everybody has to die some day. It's all the same because even non smokers get heart attack, cancer, stroke, pneumonia and other diseases. I will carry on smoking."
