World No Tobacco Day is tomorrow May 31st.
Tobacco is the leading preventable cause
of death in the world. It is the only
legal consumer product that kills one
third to one half of those who use it as
intended by its manufacturers, with its
victims dying |
|
|
on
average 15 years prematurely. Approximately 1.8 billion young people
(aged 10-24) live in our world today with more than 85% found in developing
countries. Having survived the vulnerable childhood period, these young
people are generally healthy. However, as the tobacco industry intensifies
its efforts to hook new, young and potentially life-long tobacco users, the
health of a significant percentage of the world's youth is seriously
threatened by their deadly products. Nicotine is a highly addictive
substance and child and adolescent experimentation can easily lead to a
lifetime of tobacco dependence. |

"Points to Ponder" with
Karen Jill Benzer
| |
As an American and a native Nevadan I
have a perspective of Las Vegas that
many newcomers are not aware of. In
this column I am going to share how old
Las Vegas looked from the perspective of
a child growing up in the 1970's.
On the political side, I will site
historical events that mirror current
events which are impacting the impending
presidential election. As Americans we
must re-calculate the direction of the
United States. To accomplish this we
must be willing to see our government
and our citizens clearly. We must be
willing to set the success bar
remarkably higher for the betterment of
our country as well as for our suffering
world. |

Can a movie mirror our times? Did
Casablanca give us a sense of World War II? Does Easy
Rider symbolize The Sixties? Is Dr. Strangelove the
Cold War? Arguably movies were the art form of the 20th
Century. Now of course, this is the 21st
Century, and maybe movies are still a mirror of our
times, but less an art form... |
