Smoking Affects Everyone
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, causing more than 400,000 deaths each year and resulting in an annual cost of more than $50 billion in direct medical costs. Each year, smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes, murders, suicides, and fires - combined!
Nationally, smoking results in more than 5 million years of potential life lost each year.
It's Never too Late to Go Green
Many of us strive to live environmentally conscious lives. However, we often do not realize that we have the ability to make some of the same green decisions regarding our deaths as we have made throughout the rest of our lives - we can choose a natural, eco-friendly death. Although many may be uncomfortable thinking about or making arrangements for their own death, it makes good sense that our decisions about death be compatible with the choices we have made in life.
