STOMPer David claims that he literally stopped smoking after watching this little girl sing her 'quit smoking' song online. The STOMPer said he stopped smoking in two months.
After reading the article, i felt the little girl's clip is really meaningful and useful. I believe it would certainly be a different approach by having a child's encouragement to help quit smoking compared to parents, teachers, friends etc. MOH should use this clip to encourage young parents to quit smoking, make them think about their child's future and hence quit the habit.
In my point of view, having to suffer and die of smoking-related is just not worth it. Smoking causes various health problems. For example, lung cancer. Smokers are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer. Furthermore, it is proven that 90% of all lung cancer cases in Singaporean males occur among smokers.
I believe we would not want to see our family and friends around us smoking, leading to health problems. Hence, we should all do our part in helping them overcome this habit. Also, I hope that the little girl's dad will quit smoking successfully
Lastly, we should all do our best towards achieving the goal of a smoke-free society!
