Kick Cigarette’s Butt!

March 19th was National Kick Butts Day. No, this wasn’t an excuse for you to get revenge on an enemy. This was an excuse for you to get revenge on cigarettes for the damage they are causing to your body. This day is dedicated to youth to speak up and seize control against tobacco. Kick Butts Day is organized by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and sponsored by the United Health Foundation.

Kids are the main focus for Kick Butts Day. One reason, out of the many, is that an average of 700 kids become regular smokers each day. Numbers like that are shocking, especially when talking about kids under the age of 18. There’s no better time to take action to decrease these stats. Check out more facts and statistics here.

Teachers, young people and health advocates encourage participation in Kick Butts Day to raise awareness, to encourage rejection of tobacco and urge elected officials to take action to protect children from tobacco.

ANY LAB TEST NOW® is here to help kick the habit and encourage people to stop smoking. If you or someone you know is in need of a cotinine or nicotine test to monitor levels of tobacco in their body, we can help you.

Join us at ANY LAB TEST NOW® as we celebrate The Great American Smokeout on November 21st to encourage smokers to QUIT! Quit just for the day, or use this day to make a game plan to quit all together.

Did you know that smoking is the number one preventable cause of death? Tobacco use cannot be ignored any longer! Especially now more than ever, because the Affordable Care Act allows insurance companies to charge tobacco users up to 50% more for their monthly premiums. Check out this link to learn more.
