Tobacco is the single most preventable cause of death in the world. It is the only legal consumer product that can harm everyone exposed to it – and it kills up to half of those who use it as intended, with its victims dying on average 15 years prematurely.
This year, tobacco will kill more than five million people – more than tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. Don’t miss out on your life…Call today! 732.485.9617
