Smoking Seminar

About a month ago I wrote a blog about the problems we have among older boys with smoking. They just don’t take any of our cautions seriously. It really is the age where cancer and lung disease seem really far away and unlikely. However, as part of the Youth Impact program, Olya and Kiikzhan gave a seminar on smoking to the boys at Savva last month. Unfortunately some of those that needed it most, skipped out or were so bad they were kicked out. They said they have the info on what smoking does, they just lack is the motivation to quit. As part of the seminar Olya and Kiikzhan reviewed the ways to quit or just cut back and encouraged them to work together to have accountability.
