"In 1964, The Surgeon General’s Report On The Health Consequences Of Smoking determined that cigarette smoking contributed to the death of over 300,000 Americans each year! By 1979, this death rate was estimated at 360,000! By 1990, this statistic had climbed to 390,000! In 1992 the death rate, contributed to tobacco use, was estimated to have reached 434,000 and in 1998 the death toll had escalated to 468,000 in America alone! In spite of the fact that the death rate continues to climb, it is estimated that each day 2,000 females light up their first cigarette! Parents, be alert! 3,000 teenagers start smoking every day! The addiction starts with the third cigarette smoked." [Page 8]
"Every time a thought, or an action, is performed, a minute enlargement, called a bouton, begins to form at the end of the sending fiber of the brain cell... The very first time you yielded to the temptation to use tobacco, a small bouton begin to form. It became larger, and began to multiply, every time you smoked, dipped, or chewed, since that time. Now, you don’t even have to think to react. Just the sight, or smell of tobacco, will cause the brain to react as it has been programmed. The bouton will fire automatically, unless you make a definite decision not to smoke, or use smokeless tobacco." [Page 30]
