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.

VCO is proud to Welcome Our Newest Columnist

"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.��
