With an increase in cigarette taxes, it's no surprise many folks are deciding to quit, reports this Washington Post news article, "Cigarette Tax Rises -- And So Does Incentive to Quit." Bottomline, the most important thing a smoker can do is call this national telephone number, 1-800-QUITNOW, that connects callers to smoking cessation programs in all 50 states and D.C., and provides access to counseling and medications. I'm glad to see a surge in quitting, it's good for everybody's health.

Fire Safe Cigarettes Are A Good Thing
I've not heard about fire-safe cigarettes until now, after reading this MSNBC News article, Smokers burned up over ‘fire-safe cigarettes’ - Self-extinguishing smokes sweep the country, but many say they taste bad. As a non-smoker, I think they're a good idea. Living in a parched, drought-stricken location, I see far too many lit cigarettes tossed on the ground, posing a potential fire danger. I can also see the benefit to those choosing to smoke in bed, or prone to falling asleep while smoking. I can see why it'll be hard for remaining states to resist the tide to enact fire-safe cigarette laws.
