Fairfield students take pledge to live healthy
"Each year, tens of thousands of children under the age of 18 become new smokers," said Senator Fuschillo. "By teaching children the facts about smoking and showing them some of the harmful ingredients that are in cigarettes, they will learn that smoking is a dangerous and deadly addiction." During the presentation, Fuschillo and Saladino explained the harmful effects of smoking and why it is important to stay away from cigarettes and other tobacco products. To illustrate some of the toxic ingredients contained in cigarettes, Fuschillo and Assemblyman Saladino showed the students a number of household items that have some of the same chemicals as cigarettes. These include rat poison, roach spray, batteries, moth balls, and nail polish remover. At the end of the presentation, each student received a "No Smoking Pledge" from Fuschillo, which children can sign as a promise to stay away from smoking and commit to a healthy life.
Senator Fuschillo is making his "No Smoking Pledge for Kids" available to children throughout his district. Parents who would like to request a pledge packet and have their child commit to say "no" to tobacco can do so by calling his office at 546-4100 or visiting his website at www.senatorfuschillo.com.
