Description
I saw a commercial the other day with this symbol in it plastered all over shirts, bikes, backpacks, hats and everything else you can possibly imagine and it took me back two years ago when my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I remember how hard it was for my family and for him, to struggle through times of uncertainty. I then think about all those other kids who have parents or even peers who smoke or do drugs and I wonder why so many fall under the spell of such an addictive behavior. I soon realize that a lot of those people lack a closely knit support group that I always had, that had taught me otherwise and is why to this very day I have never abused any substance.So this submission is for them, for all of those kids (and adults) who never had that group to back them up. When my dad was sick, he had a support group, one that brought him back to where he is today, out of the pit of ever lingering death and back to the surface. He would have never had to endure such hard times if someone, back in his past, would have taken away the cigarette and helped him get over his addiction.
Smoking kills, drugs kill.

Amen sister! I get so sad when I hear people in my college talking so carelessly about smoking and doing drugs... >_< They just have no idea how badly it hurts, and can kill, people.
Anyways, great work, great message!

It doesn't hurt that there's someone really cute holding it. That should attract more attention.
