In conjunction with World No Tobacco Day which falls on Saturday, ALLAN KOAY talks to an expert about why smokers should not let their health go up in smoke.

A CHARACTER in a Hollywood movie had an unusual way of giving up cigarettes. He would throw away one stick from a fresh pack of cigarettes, and two sticks from the next pack that he buys, and three from the subsequent one, and so on until he is left with no cigarettes. A novel way of quitting? Maybe, but there are definitely better ways than that.
