This fight is personal to me. Smoking causes cancer – a disease that rips families apart and leaves grief and tragedy in its wake. Additionally, the pollution it adds to our beautiful earth is unimaginable. The harmful chemicals smokers exhale into the air contribute to air pollution and can even interfere with the health of non-smokers around them. According to the World Health Organization, smoking is responsible for over 7 million deaths worldwide each year (World Health Organization, 2020). This isn't just about being irritated at a smoker in public; it's about saving lives and protecting our environment. Join me in this fight and let's petition for an end to public smoking – for our health, for our future generations, and for the sustainability of our earth. Please sign the petition.
