This Father’s Day Smoke Free Society Encourages Fathers Who Smoke to Quit

"Save your Father’s Life this Father’s Day"

entire quitting process – from preparation, quitting to the follow-up support. Loved ones and fathers are encouraged to visit Smoke Free Society’s website to take the first step in quitting smoking before its too late. Most importantly, fathers are strong role models for their children and grandchildren. Fathers who smoke send the wrong message to their young and impressionable children and grandchildren.

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death and disease, killing over 440,000 people a year in the U.S. and nearly 3.7 million worldwide. Secondhand smoke kills and sickens tens of thousands every year. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, those most affected by secondhand smoke in our homes are our children as their bodies are still developing. Exposing children to the hazardous poisons in secondhand smoke can hinder the growth of their lungs and put them in danger of severe respiratory diseases, effects that can last a lifetime

“Secondhand smoke affects nearly everyone. I can’t tell you the countless number of heartbreaking stories I’ve been told by people losing their loved ones to secondhand smoke, and they never smoked! And people are not the only ones affected by secondhand smoke, dogs in smoking households have a 60% greater risk of lung cancer and cats are 3 times as likely to develop lymphoma, the most common feline cancer,” said Rez Seyedin, founder of Smoke Free Society. Rez continued, “As an ex-smoker, I know quitting isn’t easy, but possible, especially when you have the support of the loved ones around you. Fathers must quit for their loved ones if not for themselves.”
