Smoking, Beauty and Fitness

Yesterday was Australia Day, and one of the activities my family and I attended was an open-air movie screening in a picturesque park.

Earlier in the day we visited a historic house.

I couldn't help noticing the cross-section of people who attended each function.

The movie crowd were young, the house crowd were old. In years.

The movie crowd was full of smokers - mainly teenaged girls. The house crowd was smoke-free.

If that's an indication of the success of anti-smoking/pro-health campaigns, we have an enormous job ahead of us.
