Along with gold ribbons contributing to the manifestation of a spirited, smoke-free day among students, free smoking cessation kits were handed out by UCI Health Education as a means of controlling smoking addiction. Included in these smoking cessation kits were a stress ball, a pack of gum and bubble packaging. Despite the UCI Health Education's efforts to promote smoking awareness during that day, one student who attended the annual event believes that people are well aware that smoking can lead to diseases such as cancer, emphysema, impotence and cardiovascular disease, but they still continue to smoke anyway. However, recent studies show that over 50 percent of smokers try to quit. These people are well aware of nicotine and how addicting it can be to any smoker.
Health plays a major role in the student's life.
