Katherine Hammond at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, non-smokers receive the equivalent of cigarette smoking just by being around smokers:- In the non-smoking section of a restaurant = one and a half cigarettes - In a pack-a-day smoker’s home = three cigarettes - In a smoky bar for two hours = four cigarettes - Riding in a car one hour with a smoker = four cigarettesSmoke Free Society offers various levels of smoking cessation plans, motivational corporate seminars and services to help smokers.

The core of the effective, educational plans and seminars is Smoke Free Society’s three-step smoking cessation process of preparation, quitting and support.

Smoke Free Society is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping smokers quit and educating kids not to start.

It is currently offering a free download of its “Proven Stop Smoking Technique” to anyone who wishes to quit smoking or help a loved one quit in just 17 days without the use of any substance or drug.

The Smoke Free Society Web site is a portal to an array of information that also helps educate parents to lead by example and not smoke and learn how to better communicate with their kids about smoking and tobacco use.
