Therefore, the "Smoking Really Sucks" Website supports the following...
- The participation by smokers in smoking cessation programs.
- The strict enforcement of laws against smoking by minors.
- The enactment of laws prohibiting the advertisement of tobacco products by any means.
- The enactment of laws prohibiting smoking in any building in which the public may congregate.
- The establishment of a curriculum in all grades of school designed to enlighten youths about the dangers of substance abuse, including smoking.
- And, the enactment of national legislation holding tobacco companies accountable for children who start the smoking habit.
In addition, supporters of this site encourage all restaurants, office buildings, and other institutions to ban smoking voluntarily if laws prohibiting smoking in those places have not been enacted.
