| Kick Butts Day is Wednesday, March 25, 2009 |

In the U.S., one person dies every 72 seconds from a tobacco-related disease.
That’s 1200 people a day! It’s an important statistic that we hear often but
sometimes does not generate the attention and outrage it should. There is a way
to make that statistic real so people stop and take notice. We need to do all we
can to educate people, and tell them the real dangers of tobacco. 1200 is a huge
number, but there is a lot we can do to fix it. View Pictures from Project
