Vaping and Young Smokers

Our Kids are getting sucked into Vaping. Vaping and youth smokers are a national problem.

(Would you use a condom as an ‘effective’ means of birth control and […]

Fear is both a positive and negative thing. It sets the flight response in us and gets us to move away from a potentially dangerous situation, or it can paralyse us and prevent us from reaching greater […]

Is Smoking Addictive?

Are you too physically addicted to cigarettes to free yourself from them?
Usually, you start smoking when you are young and at first you own smoking and you can quit anytime. However, bit by bit smoking starts to own you and eventually it does and many of us feel as if it is now an addiction. The tobacco companies and the perception of society reinforce this.

Tipping Point
