If you really want to convince someone to stop smoking, check out what the The NYC Health Department is doing. You can send your friends an audio/email of Ronaldo, the trachiotomy guy featured in NYC Dept. of Health anti-smoking ads on television.

"Smoking gave me throat cancer at 39. Now I breathe through a hole in my throat and need this machine to speak."

This may be the most effective anti-smoking campaign ever. Help your friends quit smoking. It’ll scare them. But for a good cause.  email Ronaldo to your friends.
