Below are some articles that you can read, if you are interested, with now your non-smoker hat on. Quitober Says: Today's newsletter is about Humphrey Bogart & if he contributed or not to killing millions of people. Stats that in 1945 Australia, during his reign on the silver screen, some 72% of men smoked today some 18% of men smoke. (ref Cancer Council)   Your Say Sue from UA says: "Am still hanging in there. Allen Carr’s book has been the most help for me. I think letting go of the fear I have had that somehow my life would be missing something if I gave up smoking. Not sure now, where that came from…………………although I am not getting too excited. It is still a day by day proposition but I have more stickers on my door now than on the sticky paper so something to be proud of I think.   I am very clear though, that I wouldn’t have taken this step had Quitober not come to the UofA, so thankyou." Quitober says: You know Sue it is so good to hear that you have gotten this far & like you, I can only hope you make it all the way & altogether, but one day at a time.

Greta Garbo, Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando have already been mentioned. But what about Cruella DeVille, thin, rich and powerful? And a smoker. Bruce Willis is a totally cool-smoker. Sharon Stone, a powerful, in control, beautiful, thin, smoker. It is a fact that cigarette companies pay screenwriters to write in smoking parts in the movies. more>> "Should smokers bear the responsibility for the health risks of cigarette smoking?"   You Tube Spot Humphrey Bogart died of oesophageal cancer, that's not cool       Donations Don't forget, if you successfully quit for Quitober you have an option to donate part or all of your membership refund to the Cancer Council.
