In this site,
Jacobs' World
tackles a very serious
subject: the evil that is smoking.
These days, everybody KNOWS that smoking is harmful, but somehow, there
are still people out there killing themselves.
The object
of this site is to try to persuade you to give
up (if you are a smoker), or to try to help others (if you aren't).
I
have never been a smoker, but many friends of mine have been.
These days, I tend not to have friends who smoke, because having them
around would be bad for my health. The risks of secondary smoking
are public knowledge, but despite this, people still take the risks,
and inflict their insane weakness upon those around them.
This
site will, as it grows, bring you materials to help run anti-smoking
campaigns in your neighbourhood, colleges, restaurants, and other public
places where the foul weed comes out to attack us. Unlike other
Jacobsworld websites, this one isn't intended to be funny, and hopefully,
will be able to provoke. Jewish teaching says that to save
one life is like saving the whole world: if we can convince
one person to give up smoking, the effort will have been worth it.
