The "BE STRONG… DON'T SMOKE!" mouse
pad was created to motivate and encourage employees, students, young
kids, and everyone else to never start smoking and to quit if they
currently smoke. Everyday millions of people periodically duck outside
for a cigarette break, regardless of the freezing rain, snow or
heat! Likewise, everyday someone is offered their very first cigarette.
During these times of weakness there must be something to deter
them from smoking.
Recent evidence suggest that a graphic image is an excellent deterrent
and may greatly reduce an individuals desire to smoke. In fact,
teen Smoking has been reduced by 50% in New York City between 2001
and 2007. Mayor Michael Bloomberg attributed the decline to a multipronged
anti-smoking effort, which includes a tax increase on cigarettes
and subway advertisements that graphically depict the gruesome
realities of tobacco-related illnesses (www.nyc.gov).
The "BE STRONG… DON'T SMOKE!" mouse
pad is the perfect gift that will offer motivation and support to
you or someone you care about. Imagine sitting at a desk and staring
at this mouse pad when temptation knocks. Will they keep their New
Years resolution or will they take yet another smoke break? Maybe
or maybe not, but at the very least the breaks will become fewer,
which may lead to quitting altogether!
IMPORTANT: If this is a gift please follow these delivery instructions:
Remember that tough love is just that—tough! Therefore giving
this gift to a friend, family member, or co-worker may feel awkward.
Instead of handing it to them directly, gift-wrap the journal and
send it anonymously. If you suspect your child has been smoking,
anonymously send one to him or her and be there for the surprise.
Study their expression and take advantage of this opportunity to
talk about smoking and drugs. Moreover, this will give the journal
more impact because it adds the element of surprise and forces the
recipient to think about who sent it. And lastly, in their quest
to find the sender they will likely engage in numerous dialogues
thus further solidifying the need to quit.
NOTE: To send
the gift directly, simply change the shipping address on the payment
page—It's EASY!
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life,
