Particularly troubling is the number of inactive Americans, especially children. The problem is not how much time we have, but how we spend that time. We have to get off our backsides and exercise. Talk to your kids about smoking before Joe Camel does. Three million Americans under the age of 18 smoke.
Smoking cigarettes is the leading cause of avoidable death in the United States.
Most kids start smoking at age 12. Parents should set a good example. Throw away clothing that advertises tobacco products. Clothes that support an athletic team are great, but pictures of Joe Camel have no place on a child's body. Many Americans do not have a primary physician.
